Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Found another Dan Wesson

A Model 15 357 Mag 4inch barrel..blued

Walked in a LGS and was scanning the used guns....and as I was looking the owner placed a DW M15 357mag down...the gun has been carried some bluing worn off the end of the barrel ..but overall a good 90% gun....this fellow hates to do layaways..but a 100 bucks holds it for two weeks...

Whew!!! almost missed it....

Very robust and accurate guns, very underrated by most.

Well I was looking for a GP100...but its hard to pass up a DW

Thats a nice revolver, hope she makes you a dandy.

Dan Wesson Revolvers are my FAVORITE.

I acquired my 1st Dan Wesson revolver, a drop-dead-gorgeous Model 15-2,357 Magnum, several years ago and didn't even know 'what' it was at the time - except I thought it must be a 'perfect' revolver, and I still feel the same way about them.

I later acquired a mint larger frame Dan Wesson in 44 Mag.

I also regret 'passing' on a DW 22 LR, and a 32 H&R revolver - and since then, I have not come across 'any' DW Revolvers.

But I'll keep looking.

Interesting P Weed, and not to derail this thread, but a Bud out of the blue called and offered me a DW pistol pack in 357 magnum, spose to be some 4 barreled set, never heard of such an animal.

Gunner

Yep, they could be bought that way and are a great "one" gun to have.

Thanks T, I may go look at them.

Gunner

Congrats Buckeye!
I too stumbled into my LGS a couple of weeks ago and could not pass this 1981 .44VH up! Box, tools and paperwork, my guess it has never been shot! I hope to fix that soon;)



Family shot

Man, my Dan wesson leather pistol case would fit some of those very nicely..........

Be forwarned, you'll probably be takin' it home.

I aquired my third one about fifteen years ago. 1971 15-2 4" VH, unfired in the box. It was so "new" it still had the factory preservative in it. Needless to say, it has quite a turn line now.

Thanks AsphaltCowboy, i called and talked to the owner of this set, he stated it has interchangeable grips for the different barrels and comes in a nice padded lockable case.

Never fired, and he was asking 1200 bucks for the set, I dont know, but that sounds high to me.

Gunner

That actually sounds about right, given complete set and unfired condition.

Do a search of completed (sold) auctions on Gunbroker. Complete pistol pacs are going for insane prices the last couple of years.
More and more people are catching on to what a Dan Wesson represents.

Thanks, if i wait a bit and try to lean on him some and can get it for a grand, would ya?

Gunner

Yep, for a grand it is a great deal with the full pac including grips. MSR was $1,699 IIRC.

Dang, that's sounding better all the time, I may have to call him back.

Gunner

I love my Dan Wesson. Mine is a 715 (stainless) I bought new in the mid 90's. I have 4" and 8" barrels, chambered for .357, it is a real shooter. They are strong as all get out too.

Dang right JT, and that 44 of Salvo's on page one is a stone fox killer, beautiful revolver.

Gunner

Mine has been carried alot, and not been babied. Had a ton of rounds down it too. Not particular at all, will shoot just about everything pretty good, and alot of it amazingly good.
