Congratulations on the new "toy". I am on my third DW, having had one
22 with an 8" ventheavy and 2 .357's. My current Pistol Pac "baby"
that I bought new came with 4 barrels and now has 6 ( I added two 6"
in stainless - looks nice on the blued frame with stainless trigger,
hammer, and cylnder lock)... I am sure you will find the DW a great
shooter. The last time I went, I was plinking with a rent-a-cop.. he
had a new H&K in 40... nice gun.. but he couldn't hit a barn with it
past 10 yards. The DW is easy good to 25 (indoor range limit). Well
easy if your eyes are still younge.
