My local FFL has, in the past, been a treasure trove of used firearms, unusual firearms. It's really rather amazing given it is in a small town in Northern Vermont. That, however, has changed. The used firearms now are miniscule in number, and usually pretty common and ho hum.

In all the time I've been going there, haunting it nearly everyday and for nearly 10 years, I have NEVER seen a DW revolver, never! I've found two DW original 1 or 150 Razorbacks, a SIG P229 S I bought for $550, A S&W CS1 3", a couple of S&W 3" Performance Center F-comps and even a oddball Bernardelli P01 I bought for $200. The list goes on and on.

No DWes though until recently. I spied a revolver on the counter in a holster. I could tell is was a short barrel which I have this fetish for and it didn't look like a S&W from the grips. Sure enough it was a DW 14-2 in excellent condition. They had just then taken the gun in on trade and hadn't even priced it yet. The holster was nothing to speak of and had a thumb break which I don't like, so I left that for the owner but took the Dan Wesson. It was for a Colt revolver.

However, it made me wonder if anyone here actually carries a Dan Wesson and if so, what holster do you use?

There are members that do carry a DW forCC, but I personally do not.  There are too many more practical alternatives out there today in terms of weight and size for CC.

I don't carry mine concealed but I do carry a four inch 15-2. I use a Tom Threeperson's  holster from El Paso Saddlery. I ordered it for a Colt Python with a hammer thong and it fit the DW perfectly. They're not cheap but the quality is second to none. Check 'em out at the link below. If you look for a holste to fit a Python you're in.

One of my EDC guns is my Dan Wesson ECO in 45 acp.  I know its not a revolver but it IS a Dan Wesson and a very potent and accurate 3.5inch 1911 with night sights.  I carry it in a custom made leather IWB super tuck style holster.  I'm  a revolver guy at heart but they are just too bulky and heavy for me to carry on a daily basis. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I have made two or three leather holsters for 15-2. Some for the EWK heavy shrouds some just stock shrouds. I dont carry a Dan. I cant give up the Glock

I carry my 715-2 with a 2.5" barrel in a Simply Rugged sourdough holster from time to time. Mostly in the winter when I wear more bulky clothes. I wear suspenders under my outer shirt so the weight doesn't really bother me much.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Is this topic less relevant today than it was five years ago ?

Many, many years ago I was lucky enough to come across this Disantis for a Colt. Fits like a glove. I used to carry it  on hour drive home from working at 2 am  an event once a month. under a short jacket if I bent over it was exposed, which I wanted if I have to pull over son a dar stretch of hwy to put tome Fix-A-FLat in a tire.  Worked like a charm.

Yes, I do carry a 15-2 with a 2-1/2 " revolver. I did replace the standard wood grip with a Hogue Monogrip for the simple fact it slims it up a bit. My holster is from S&W BLW 624...

Hope this helps.
