It's a Dan Wesson .357 Magnum. Stainless with a 6 inch barrel that is removable. I have the 2 inch barrel for it also. Also has a second set of grips for it small rounded at the base. Stamped on it looks like where it was made. Monson, Mass USA Serial #S/001XXX Has a little damage to bottom edge on one side of the large grips. Looks like it was dropped or hit with something and has a small amount of wood damage. I bought it several years ago just to shoot which it does well. Anyone have any idea when it was made ot its value. I think I paid about $280.00 for it used. Ill try to attach a picture .

Seems like you paid a very reasonable price. The DWs are few and far between around here, so I'm not at all sure what the going rate would/should be.

BTW, usually best to post serial numbers with XXX for the last three digits. :D

I A year or so ago I paid about $200 for my Monson made Wesson, which from what I understand makes it more desirable.
4", no extra barels, little grips, small frame blue , fixed sights, no rib.
I think you got a much better deal

Looks like a 15-2 or so... being in stainless, I doubt it is a "Monson" gun...

worth a few bucks more than you paid...

I have a pair of Monson guns, both blued, 1 is a "full shroud" 15-2HV - 6", and the other has the half-shroud like yours, making it a 15-2V, if memory serves correctly...

nice gun... oughtta be a sweet shooter, most Dan's are!

Sounds like it might be part of the P14 Pistol Pac. If so you are missing the 4" barrel and the fitted case to make it complete. If you had them it would go for about 330-275 depending.

Being stainless it's a model 715.

Had a model 15 that was a POS.......:mad:

Really..... I've had a Monson Mass. Dan Wesson 715-2 for the last 8 years and it's a stainless model. I would also bet the the revolver shown is a 715-2 as well.

One thing is different with mine though. Mine has the full underlug barrel shroud instead of the partial underlug shown. One of us may have a non-original shroud.

My opinion: if you're going to have just two barrels, a 2" and 6" pair make for a VERY well rounded critter indeed.

It's a "15 variant" of some sort. Lemons are possible but "the checkout" will spot such. When they're good, and they usually are, they're great.

Dan Wesson QC *never* dropped as far into the toilet as far as Charter Arms late in it's first era or worse, "Charco" :barf:. The number of Charcos that sucked was just horrifying.

I wouldn't buy old Dan Wessons sight unseen but when you can run the checkout and they pass, they can be *killer* values. (Note: with the DW design, if it's a replacable barrel model even if with just one barrel, don't sweat the cylinder gap. It's user-resettable with a simple tool still available from DW if it's not with the gun. This is one area "the checkout" is different from everything else.)

MarineTech,
You could get the barrel shroud in either configuration. The old website showed all of their offerings. The updated website have totally ignored all the revolvers that Dan wesson has on the market.

Hmmm.
