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.

Hogue boot grips, Uncle Mike "Craig Speigel" design or grip adapter.

Twenty years ago I was going through TSA when I realized I was wearing the shoes I wore the day before when loading 1000 pounds of Ammonium Nitrate(ANFO) in blasting bore holes at a blast site. I went right through with no problems. I did have in my wallet an explosives license to show if it had...

Since it varies day to day, today's favorite is the Dan Wesson 15-2 357 Magnum with the "new" 1979 V4 barrel that arrived yesterday.

Bought a Dan Wesson 15-2 V4 357 barrel in original box that looks amazing for 45 years old.

I won a GB auction for DW barrel & seller suggested I expedite the USPS MO because some were taking up to 3 weeks to arrive in Florida. I did expedite it for $9 Friday, arrived Monday(CT to Florida). Another MO I sent regular mail to Vermont last Monday. We'll see.
