I bought my first DW15-2 w/V6 barrel @2016 for $500 OTD. Then bought V4 & 2.5" barrels. About 2018 I bought another nice frame for $500 justifying it because I already had barrels for it. Now this one. It's a vicious circle.

Rained all day so sat down and loaded 300 rounds of my favorite 38spl range ammo. 158gr. Xtreme RNFP over 4.3grains of HP-38 & Servicios SPP. My three Dan Wesson Model15-2s usually FTF a few per 50 using Servicios but at the end of trip I shoot them up in my S&W Model 65 which isn't as finicky.

I bought a Dan Wesson 15-2 357 Magnum that obviously had very little use and had been stored for 40+ years. Fortunately these DWs small frames are very easy to totally strip down and clean. It needed it. Bought it with a 8VH barrel but switched to a 4VH.

Ebay has BK grip adapters through Robertsons trading in the Aluminum/silver brushed finish for $30 right now.

That is a interesting cool gun and I can see the attraction. When a LGS nearby was going out of business a few years ago they had a Bond Arms 2 shot derringer in 357 over & under for a great price. I could feel the quality when I felt it in my hands & inspected it. I was tempted but resisted...

Beautiful revolver! My 15-2 is my most highly prized S&W even more than the 28-2. Blue finish is incredible and the action smooth as butter. I replaced the original diamond magnas with diamond target grips that cost me half as much as I paid for the gun. I don't shoot it much because I've got...

Amazing deal on that Model 715! I also bought my first Model 15-2 for $500 OTD in 2016 on Armslist. I'm seeing some insane GB auction starting bids lately. My LGS had a nice 15-2 in 2022 with a price tag of $900. I thought he was nuts but it wasn't there a few months later. Do you notice a...

Good to hear it shipped. That's the hard part buying online...the wait to get it in your hands to inspect it.

Shot great at the range today with my 158grain Xtreme plated bullets and 4.3 grains of HP-38(125 rnds). I took off the 8VH barrel and stuck on a 4VH and adjusted the sights. No malfunctions and accurate.

I see the thick front sight on my Model 10-7 snub than the very skinny Pre Model 10 snub's front sight.

Two FFLs jumped in the bidding late and drove it up to $605 so with one minute left I bid $610 and won. i wouldn't have bid any higher. After fees, taxes & shipping $681.43. One of the FFLs bidding had an identical DW 15-2 with the same 8VH barrel on GB for a "buy now" price of $999. He probably...

I posted last week about "taking a chance" on a GB auction and I picked it up today. Better cosmetic condition than expected and it had the trigger return issue(not returning) the seller was honest about. He also had stated when he took the gun in the action was locked up/frozen. I adjusted the...

Easy to find revolvers. I was specifically looking for a DW 15-2 frame in nice shape for about $100 less than I spent on GB with an 8" barrel I could sell for $350-400 and I've got several other 15-2 barrels to use on the "new" one. I've been happy with every GB purchase I've made which has been...

I just bought a revolver through GB from a small FFL who doesn't accept credit cards. He also had several reviews of poor communication because he works days and works in his gun shop(home) at night. I asked for more pictures that I never got and a few days prior to my sending USPS MO the ATF...

I bought a Dan Wesson Model 15-2 357 Magnum with a 8VH barrel which shipped yesterday. Always a crap shoot buying online but I've been lucky so far with condition. Stay tuned, we'll see when it gets here. Only a few not so great photos to go by.
