My 445 with the 10" scoped barrel also have an 8"VH barrel. I never get tired shooting this at the range.

DW Model 15 .357 Mag originally had a 4" barrel. I bought the 6" to give a little more accuracy for target shooting and hunting.

Here's a picture I took today. 6" ported DW 744 with a 1X30 Red Head red dot on a B-Square base. It weighs 69.5 ounces empty.

Paul,
That looks a lot mike my hunitng rig, except my 44 is blue and I have a Bushnell handgun scope on it. My scoped 6" 44 has put 6 shots into 2 cloverleafed 44 caliber holes from a rest at 25 yards. It is so accurate it is scary. I really like your stainless 44. I wish my blue one was stainless, but I already have all the extra barrels (5) in blue, so I would have a lot to replace to change over to stainless at this point.
Thanks for the pics. I am glad to see more people posting more pics. Keep'em coming guys.

Can't figure out how to post pictures right , they are burry or too small .
-
Roll Tide,
I am using the 6" ported instead of my 8" barrels just because I will probably use 240 gr Magtech JSPs for hunting and I like to shoot cast once in a while. Cast is a little bit of a problem with a ported barell, unless you clean often, so I can use the unported 8" with cast and still have the 6" dedicated for jacketed bullets. A friend in MS, kinda in between us, is converting a front sight to neon green for me for the 8" shroud. I just can't see the white, red and yellow colored inserts I have now, so hopefully the green will help.
As soon as I can get around to it, I'll post a new picture of my 6" 715. I'll put the neon green on it and maybe I can get it to show up.
Blaserman,
I use Irfanview to work over my photos. It's a free download at www.irfanview.com (http://www.irfanview.com) Most of the time a 640X480 picture will fit most screens. Then you just have to set the degree of compression to get the file small enough. If you right click on the picture I posted and select properties, you will see the actual size of the photo and file size I posted. I try to keep my file sizes under 50K for slow dialup users, like me. Natural light does help reduce glare from the flash going off.
-
As promised, here's my DW 715 with a newly converted red ramp front sight. The sight was "painted" with a white base color and then coated with neon green (Birchwood Casey Super Bright Touch-up Sight Pens). The original color inserts I have (Yellow, Red and White) have just gotten to where I can't see them any more, so I decided to try Neon Green. The only thing I did when it got here was to color in the red insert on the sides. I just didn't like displaying Christmas colors!

-
I'm not the greatest photographer and sometimes my efforts verify that! :'(
Here's a picture comparing my 744 with a 6" ported shroud (look closely and you can see the port about 1/2" back of the front end of the red dot base/mount) installed and a 715 without ports. On the right side, there's an 8" ported shroud next to an 8" non-ported barrel and that's next to an 8" ported barrel.

Hello everyone..First post here..so I'd thought I'd post a pic.
This is my DW 15-2 with a snubbie barrel. I've own this gun for 28 years.
Through the years this gun has served me well as personal protection as well as an excellent target shooter.
I will never sell this gun and will hand it down to my son someday so he can enjoy for many years.
I still have the original DW retail price list dated April 1, 1978 which lists all the revolvers and accessories.
I'll see if I can figure out a way to scan and post it on the forum here in case anyone would like to use it for reference purposes.

Here one my family got me for Christmas last year. Monson model 357, five digit serial number. I've never seen another pair of grips like these. Does anybody know anything about them?

Great looking guns guys. Thanks for posting.

For those of you who are not aware, Dave's 460 Supermag pictured above (not the same as 460 S&W) is a prototype gun. Dave owns the only one that I know is still in existence, although I have heard there are a couple more that were made. Thanks for sharing the pics Dave. That is some really nice hardware. If we could talk DW into making a 460 S&W and/or a 500 S&W with interchageable barrels, THAT would be the ultimate revolver.
Roll Tide
-
Here is a little more of the information that I have received on the 460 Supermag.
It is the only one made.
The 460 Supermag is a 45 win mag case stretched to 1.610 (supermag length). It can produce velocites that duplicate the new 460 S&W. The 460 S&W was produced to compete with the Dan Wesson but the 460 SM never made it into production because Dan Wesson did not have the money to fully put it into production. Boy they made a big mistake there.
During testing at the factory they shot experimental 200gr bullets at 2400 ft/sec with pressure at around 50,200 PSI. and they felt the round should operate at 50,000 with the proof loads at 70,000PSI.

Wow, one of a kind! I like the unfluted cylinder.
-
And since I now have a camera, here is a picture of my 32-20 Dan Wesson made at Monson. I bought this one from IHMSA back in the day when they had them made for field pistol class.
Greg

The 32-20, now that is a relatively rare DW I would say. Looks like a great gun.

This is a new, unfired Pistol Pak that belonged to my Dad. Myself & my brothers have divided the guns that my Dad used. We may sell this gun. If we decide to sell & establish a value, I will put it in the classifieds within the next couple of days.

Very nice, Looks brand new. I would rate it at 99% and it should sell for $750.00 to $850.00, The last pistol packs sold new for $1699.00. I would keep it in the family for another generation.

Sweet, really like the pointman. I have a couple of Dan Wesson revolvers and absolutely love them, but have never fired a semi auto. How do they compare to others. I have a Springer and know it's an entry level 45but still very nice to shoot. I have also.fired a friends Kimber and all I can say us wow. Just curious if it compares to the Kimber.

I guess I could load those .357 Maximum rounds a bit longer ::) ;D

You need to host the picture somewhere else like on myhostedpics.com. Very nice looking gun is it a chrome finish or is it polished stainless?

-
GetGunz,
That is the nicest DW .44Mag I've ever seen. What model and designation is it? Is it a .445 Supermag or just .44 Mag? I would love to get a DW revo in .44 but I just want .44 Mag, not a Supermag (I know it fires both but call me picky).
Thanks!
-
NickE10mm:
I have a .44 Mag, 6" stainless for sale.
Private message me if you are interested.
-
Thanks for compliment Nick. The model is a 44VH (44 Magnum) which stand for vent heavy on the barrel shroud. That has the vent rib on the top and the full underlug on the bottom. The pistol was originally blue. When the bluing began to wear from use I sent it to Ron Mahovsky at Metalife for hardchrome.
-
Very nice...thanks for the info! :) I'd bet it shoots a heckuva group, eh?
-
Here are my two .357's, I was too lazy to change the barrel on the blued gun to the 6" blued one.

This is my DW 744. I used it successfully for silhouette. After I retired from that, I replaced the heavy 8" barrel with a light 6" one.
-
That is just a great bunch of pics men.... I was introduced to revolver shooting on a DW 41mag many years ago by a good friend at the time. I always liked shooting that and his mod 15 357. I would love to get my hands on mod 15.
-
I've always loved the DW's. I was never able to afford them years ago. Now I'll be on the lookout for a used one. Always seem to be very accurate and versatile. Heck, even T.J. Hooker( William Shatner) used one on the police series. Had a pistol pack in the trunk.

GRIMJIM I believe those grips are a factory offering..
I traded them to a guy at the Gunshow aka "Gunny" who has several DW grips in his stash..
Those grips were plastic, Looked like wood but there not, also they made the revolver sit high in your hands & just didn't do it for me.. If Your interested I will see "Gunny" this Saturday @ The Gunshow & could ask about them, There's not many DW owners around this area, He probobly still has them.
I opted to put the Pachmayrs back on my Beater Snubby & have worked out great for me..
Here's a Pic as the DW Sits Now..

Thanks for the offer but It's not in the budget right now. I'm on a temporary lay off. Also I thought they were wood, still look pretty cool though.
-
No Problem GRIMJIM..
I'll see "GUNNY" This weekend, He's always picking up Odd/Strange DW Stuff..
He also has a Rough Blank that came with some Pistols Packs..
I can't realy spend any Dough Either, I go to every gunshow to look & sometimes trade if there's something I can't Live Without..
I couldn't walk past this 15-2 for $225 so I snatched it up, My Buddy also bought a Colt Officers Stainless from the same seller for $579 ten minutes before the show ended on Sunday, We Both were pulling our wallets out at the same time.. There's still good deals out there, Sometimes..
Here's a Bit Better Pic of My Magnum Snubbie..

I just bought this one. I know basically nothing about D/W pistols. The only thing I know is it is a .44 mag, 10 inch barrel and made between 1991 and 1994. Would someone please let me know what model it is? It is the one on the top in the picture. I am also having a hard time finding Pachmyr presentation grips for it and they haven`t made them for it in 10 years :( Thanks-Jack.
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g220/jackgraner/44Magsjpg.jpg)
-
It appears to be a 744 VH10 and the Pachmyer presentation come up on Ebay on a regular basis, just be sure you get the one for LG/Supermag frames. If the ad doesn't specify and the owner doesn't know: ask if it's for the round tang gun. That is what I had to do for mine, the ad stated DW grip Pachy., only.
-
There are 2 Pachy presentations on Auction Arms for Lg/super frames now; #'s 90060089 and 7763711. Good luck.
-
Thank you!! I put a bid on one and may try to buy both :) Thanks for the info also.
