Single man evolution, field artillery piece acquired!

I've jonesed for a 610 prior to the Hillary hole being introduced.

The problem is that I am cheap. I have this mental list with assigned values, and I won't pay a penny more. I initially declined to buy it twice. I have so many other projects going. My wife called me a fool and a moron...

I have video proof of her saying Get the gun.

So, some 25 + years later, maybe it's 30 now...

Nice, always liked guns with moon clips. Easy to pick up the brass after speedloading. Look forward to the range reports.

It will be a couple of days, i am out of town until wednesday. Then i have to mow the lawn. Our mower has been at the shop for 4 weeks.

Once the lawn is mowed i should be able to get down to the range.

The 2.5,and 8" barrels for the dan wesson 44vh arrived yesterday.

Now I have 2.5, 4, 6, and 8" sets for both the 357 mag and the 44 mag.

Congratulations on a nice revolver. Also for getting your DW barrels completed. Looking forward to the range report.

A couple months back I saw a.... 15" DW 357 barrel.
Very rare, they also had the revolver with everyone of the other barrels.
First 15" I ever saw. Quite expensive, I was told.

10" was a special run, they are out of 10". Kieth mentioned 12 and 14. But a 15" is new to me

I haven't a clue, but from what the shop owner told me there were like only 50 ever made.
He was going to list it on GB and was hoping to get around $2000 for it.

^^^^^^^^
That’s a whole lot of steel in those pics. Congrats on the 610, I had in my younger days wanted one to pair with my S&W 10mm auto. But I’ve since sold the 1006 and my stash of 10mm ammo with it so no longer longing for a 610.

Now there is a CZ brand CZ-50 in 32 acp for sale here locally I’m working hard on talking myself out of.

[BrokenolMarine]

I have my eye on one gun to add to the collection, and unless I sell off a gun or two from the safe, it'll wait until next year. It's a want vs. a need and I'm too old to let the wants hurt me. We have a couple other projects taking priority.

Nice collection of DW Iron. Impressive.

Back home, and somehow, a 1006 joined the club...

[daytime dave]

Congratulations on the 1006.

I have the 645. I thought about the 1006 when it came out, but wasn't interested in the 10mm.

I hope you enjoy them both.

[BrokenolMarine]

I like the looks of the hand cannons. I have a couple.
I have been offered a couple over the years I turned down...
Desert Eagle .50.
Freedom Arms 454...
Just couldn't see owning something I either wouldn't shoot or couldn't afford to shoot.

[DsGrouse]

Lol, i have a freedom arms 83 in 454c.

[BrokenolMarine]

Lol, i have a freedom arms 83 in 454c.

The one I was offered was a limited edition Hunter Model. It came in a case, with a plate marked 1 of 300. Never fired, still had the zip tie thru the trigger guard. Had a scope on the thing, 10-1/2" barrel. Custom Grips. Beautiful Gun. I would have loved to own it. But... I don't own many guns I won't shoot. With my arthritis these days, a 454 is on the list of "Won't." Plus, I don't have anything I need to HUNT with that one. LOL. My friend who was cleaning out the safe said if I wanted it, he'd hold it until I was ready. I thought about it, and told him to sell it and buy something HE could use. He did, and got WAY more than he would have asked me to pay. Bought suppressors.

[BrokenolMarine]

I do have an 1800s Husqvarna Coach Gun (now make chainsaws) and a Colt #1 22 short Derringer that were gifts, I keep because they are cool. Both are serviceable and can be shot... I just don't.

You can send them back to FA and they will fit you a 45 acp, and or 45 colt cylinder. You need a taller front sight, but they readily have them available.

I shoot mine with the 45 colt cylinder loaded to some pretty spicy levels. Not quite 454c but, pretty close to 44 mag.
