    My New Bear Gun.

    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...

    They Don't Call it a Masterpiece for No Reason...

    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.

    Transferred my DW 15-2 today

    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.

    Thick Front Sight Blades

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

    Transferred my DW 15-2 today

    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...

    Transferred my DW 15-2 today

    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...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    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.

    do you stop shooting before taking air travel?

    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.

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

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

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    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.

    Wife's fathers Trooper from his years with state police for sentimental reasons. Model 15-2. Model 10-7 snub with Peruvian Crest because it's pretty unique. Model 65-2 3" 357 because it carries so well and I love 3" K frames.

    Would you have taken the chance? (GB purchase)

    I also bought a 15-2 frame several years ago and paired it with a CZ/USA 4 inch barrel but would love a 3.

    Would you have taken the chance? (GB purchase)

    Actually a search does turn up a relationship between a pig and his name. He just contacted me (Tuesday)ATF showed up last Friday & was doing a "full audit" right now and GB matters are taking a back seat. Hope he's got his Snit in order.

    Would you have taken the chance? (GB purchase)

    As far as "fake bid wars" goes I was wondering myself if the last FFL bidding was a buddy of seller, who's also FFL, to bump the price up so I checked him out. FFL bidding was from Washington state and seller from Vermont so highly unlikely. Happens the FFL bidding had an identical Model 15-2...
