Have always heared how accurate they was and found it at a good deal and been wanting something to through in the feedtruck and not worry about so here it is. But i have looked all over it and cant find a model number anywhere on it, hope someone can tell me what it is. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g471/chevydiggs/Mobile%20Uploads/20150124_221953_zpsqawz3wj5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g471/chevydiggs/Mobile%20Uploads/20150124_221941_zpsklhwvmd4.jpg) When i picked it up the front sight was broken but found one for $13 and got it sighted in with 158gr lrn 38spl cause its not near as loud as magnum loads. Here is the last 3 shots at 35yds without a rest. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g471/chevydiggs/20150120_155514_zps2sp2aq7s.jpg)

I've had several mostly in .22...they are great shooters. DW just brought out a stainless .357 Magnum again...

There is an 8 inch 357 without the underlug laying on the shelf at my LGS. I keep hoping someone will buy it, because it haunts me. I've got a feeling it will shoot about like a sniper rifle.

15-2VH, IIRC - the VH denoting Vent rib, heavy barrel.
They are famous for shooting very accurately

Your Dan Wesson 15-2 is also manufactured in Monson Mass. which many consider more desirable than those later manufactured in Palmer Mass, and then in Norwich, New York. I also have a D.W. 'Monson' Model 15-2, 357 Mag. - And the last thing I would do with it is 'throw it in a feed truck and not worry about it!' - D.W.'s are my favorite DA revolvers. Congratulations on your very discerning acquisition.

Congratulations on your very discerning acquisition. It stays in a padded case in the console when not in use, but it did hammer a skunk yesterday at 40 yds, its a keeper for sure

I've got one with wooden grips and a 6 inch barrel. Very nice revolver. It shoots really small groups with 158gr cast semi wadcutters.
Crimsontide, you should Definitely Get That Revolver!

Buy a Taurus to throw in the truck, and treat the DW better. Those are getting harder to come by.

Great, accurate revolvers. I have 3; a model 40 357 SM, a 715 6" VH 357 mag, and a 6" .22 with an extra 8" barrel. I never see me selling any of them. You made a good purchase.

Great, super gun when made right but they had problems at on time. Owner changes, etc. Fantastic design but never fool with employees.
I wish they would bring back all the guns today.

CZ keeps threatening to bring them back, but it's been hollow threats thus far. Hell they could make a good penny if they just made the barrels and shrouds. I'd take a barrel and shroud to put on an L frame S&W in a New York minute.

Try to keep up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Wesson_Firearms Despite the fact that CZ does not specialize or focus on revolvers, they have chosen to support the older model pistols with a variety of shroud and barrel offerings, replacement parts, and repair and refurbishment services.

I can hardly bear to look at or talk about Dan Wesson revolvers, given the trade I stupidly turned down about 7 yrs ago. .357 with 6" and 8" barrels, in box.
The owner then turned around and traded it back to original owner for a Caspian.
Still haunts me.

Oh you rat-bastid!!! I did NOT need to know that. I think I may have to convert my 617 into a swap barrel gun now.

A guy I used to work with had a Negligent Discharge with his. Scared him so bad he GAVE me the gun. I offered him money. He wouldn't take it.
