Dan Wesson 357

[Komodo693 1]

Literally fell in my lap, any recommendations besides a good cleaning and checking the barrel gap? Came in the soft carry bag and the barrel changing tool, no extra barrels . Has a 2" barrel.

 

Thanks.

Hmm make sure you have acquired it legally and it was not used in a crime, that comes to mind.

Custom & OE extra barrels are available - and that's not counting the new ones from CZ. Actually the custom barrel assemblies seem to be less money than the OE ones. Here's a link...

Vlad - concern noted and who/how I got it not a concern. Pizza Bob thanks as always for the info. Pistol is extremely clean, 1 nick on the barrel, otherwise looks like it was barely used. Came with some OLD bixes of SD ammo.

They are excellent shooters-I've had the Pistol Pack for years n years.  If you can find a longer barrel, like a 6" or 8", you'll be amazed what they can do. 

The 'preferred' versions are the model 15s made in Monson, Mass.

See me if you want to sell...I'd love to have a second Dan Wesson model 15 frame.

W2MC thanks for the link, great info.

It is a Monson 15-2, by what I could glean off the dwforum. Based on the model # manufactured either 1979 or 1980.

Looking forward to cleaning her up and seeing what she can do. Was looking at a 6" barrel but if you know anyone who has for sale I'd appreciate the reference. If we lived closer I'd love to see yours.

 

Thanks again.
