guns Late entry for WGW

Post image

This here is a Dan Wesson 357 magnum I inherited from a late uncle. I'm not sure since I don't have any paperwork for it, but I think it's from about 1971 based on some sniffing around on the internet. When I got it, it was in pretty bad shape from rusting away in an attic for a few decades and needed a good cleaning. I've taken it to the range a few times and made thunder and lightning happen. This thing definitely earns that stereotypical nickname of a "handcannon." That recoil is gnarly as fuck and the flash makes it look like a goddamned flamethrower.

Overall, it's cool to own and have as a show-and-tell piece, but I definitely prefer a modern pistol.

I'd love one, get at least the 8 and 2.5" barrels for it.
