getting back into guns (had been out cause i got bored with it in 2007)
And found a brand new Dan Wesson PM7/45 Pretty good luck that is, My old one was xxxx417 This one is xxxx232 , only 185 apart.. Almost identical, This one has a black hammer, not stainless also has Dan Wesson written on the rear sights, which the other one did not. It feels just as tight as my previous one.. Cannot beat an early DW 1911, they are just rock solid (I assume the later ones are just as good) And, luckily... I got it at same price as the first one, back in 2010.. which is awesome considering inflation and how the Dan Wessons have gotten more expensive over the years in the US.. and they get even more expensive when they get imported to Europe... Bargain deal ! Filed the paperwork, now gotta wait for the permit.. unfortunately its not 3-4 days here, but 3-4 months is more typical. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689958317.jpg This was my old onehttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689958429.jpg I have to look, still have that folding knife laying around somewhere. Gonna be stylish again :P |
DW 1911s are the best bang for the buck out there. They were a better bang for the buck a few years ago, but they kind of got discovered and so they're getting more expensive. I really kick myself for letting go of the full size stainless Valor I had.
|
BTW, here's my newest purchase. Gonna be a long wait on this paperwork.

Got one FreeBR F1 approved, still waiting on second one.
This one is "just" a 22 set up, but it is a standard lower so I can drop any upper onto it. 19.5" OAL, sights work well and give enough accuracy for squirrels to 50 yards. Unfortunately, now I'm thinking I need a can...or three. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689959237.jpg |

A Springfield Loaded goes for 500 eur more in Belgium. a Ruger is 200 more This one has been laying in the store since at least 2010..untouched...Same price.. no inflation... nobody in Belgium has a clue about Dan Wesson guns.. This is my second one.. I sold the previous one in 2017 , but not making that mistake again, this one is for keeps |
If I ever come across another stainless Valor for the $1100 I paid about five yrs ago, I will pounce.

out of the box slide to frame fit one these guns is second to none..
Run it wet with FP10.. It never dissapoints. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689961445.jpg |
This horrible abomination of a "handgun" is reviewed in this month's American Rifleman. From Taurus, they call it the "Raging Hunter". Available in both .460 and .500 S&W. I just don't get it, I suppose.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689982827.jpg This Interarms Virginian Dragoon in .44 Mag has been my main hunting handgun for my entire adult life, over 40 years and counting. Absolutely effective on everything I have ever pointed it at, up to the size of elk and caribou. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689983007.jpg This one is a relative newcomer, only being in the rotation for about 30 years. Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt. Equally effective. It is a little less handy, though, with its 7 1/2" barrel. I much prefer the 6" on the Dragoon for portability. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1689983007.jpg I could not imagine lugging that Taurus around. One would have to use a sling, like a rifle. I actually have lighter hunting rifles, come to think of it. I just don't see the point. |
oddley enough, the one pace in the world where you can't shoot that Ruger Bisley... is in Bisley UK
UK:Handguns, not for peasants! only exceptions , air, 22 match or black powder http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1690179509.jpg |

I've wanted this Colt for years. Love the feel and unguarded ejection rod.
