Today I was able to get his Dan Wesson V-bob, my grandpa's pocket watch and a pocket watch he won in Senior Pro bronc riding, from his estate. The DW came in his favorite holster, a Rhodesian from Eric Little. I'd still like to somehow come up with his full size DW Valor and his little DW CCO. There is also a few rifles of his I'd like to have a chance at. His Galil's and maybe the little Remington pump that takes AR mags.

Dan wessons rival the semi-custom 1911s out there. Id out one up against just about any brand! Owned them all and you cant beat the dw for quailty and accuracy for the price

My son, Mike, really wants one of those Remington 7615's as well.......however since they're discontinued, prices are north of $2,000.00 for them! Remington would be very wise to bring them back! Again, nice pistola and pocket watches. I look forward to seeing them next time I stop in! Frog----OUT! ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Glad you got a couple peace's from your brothers estate. Man, do I hear you. I hate that. See it all the time. The "family" is everything from nutbag liberals scared schitless of guns and just "don't want guns in their house" to bug-eyed crack and meth heads who take $.10 on the dollar for the dead guy's stuff.

Having lost my Dad a couple years ago, it amazes me how good some of his guns feel in my hands or on my hip. I may have better or nicer that fill their nitch, but having his just feels better.
