Dan Wesson .445?

[Ohen Cepel]

Does anyone have one of these in .445?

I'm thinking about going that way since I had my arm twisted into buying a Desert Eagle

Want something else I can shoot .44 mag in also.

Overall impressions with DW quality? With the .445 concept?

I lean more towards them everyday since S&W put those stupid lock on everything!

Thanks,

I can't comment on the SuperMags, but I once had a DW in 357 Magnum. Sorry I ever traded it away. Nice revolver and very well built.

DW revolvers, from any of the three companies, are great, well made and among the most accurate revolvers made. They are simple with few moving parts. The ability to easily change barrel length and shroud design makes them extremely versitile. My old Monson 15-2 is one of my favorite wheelguns.

Here are my DW's. They are well made, exceptionally short stroke hammers and very good DA operation. The really nice thing is changing the barrels. This is my "long" setup and I have shorter barrels for both.

No regrets here!

Peter, I am going to have to ask you nicely to please stop posting that picture of your Dan Wesson revolvers. Everytime I look at that model 15 I just feel sick over trading away the one I once owned.

Ok, Ok, I will have to take a shot of them with the extra barrels and the DW Razorback 10mm I bought....

I have a 3 Dan Wessons, A 357,a 44 Mag, and a 445 Supermag. I love them all. They are as strong as Ruger Super Redhawks, and more accurate than any revolver you can buy for under $1000. The interchangeable barrel concept is simple, flawless and makes the gun into a many different guns for many different purposes.

I love mine. I made the mistake of selling both of my Dan Wessons for financial reasons many years ago, but have since replaced them and would be EXTREMELY reluctant to ever part with them again.

I recently converted a Marlin 444 to 445 Supermag. I really like the concept of having a rifle pistol combination that will handle at least three different rounds (44 Special, 44 Magnum, and 445 Supermag) especially when I can set up the pistol in everything from a 4" barrel for dangerous game protection to a 10" scoped barrel capable of taking big game out to 200 yards in case something happens to the rifle.

By the way, I bought a stainless 445 Supermag with a scoped 8" barrel and a 6" barrel all in a Ziegel aluminum case for $620 plus shipping off AuctionArms, and I have since added a 4" barrel for $100.

That is a lot of value for the dollar, which is exactly what Dan Wesson has always given. I just don't know why more people have not caught on to the concept. Oh well, their loss and my gain.
