hey, im from Arkansas and just picked up an old dan wesson in a trade, usually im a glock guy but this DW seems pretty cool. Â its old has a 5 digit serial number 43xxx, pork chops and adjustable rear sights. maybe a model 15? Â it has just a W on the handle also. Â gun feels very tight and seems to function well, not a whole lot of wear for something this old, im about the same age and i have alot more wear on me.lol Â

Welcome to the DWF. One day the Dan will be worth far more than what you traded for it.

Looks like a good shooter you have there! range-time

You have a 15-1 wearing original Powerwood grips. This model was made for a short time, maybe 18 months or so, and very possibly less, just before they changed to the straight barrel shroud on the more common 15-2 model in mid-to-late '75.

Congrats on landing your first DW, hopefully you like yours as much as I do mine! occasion

thanks, Â thats about what i had came up with, Â being made somewhere in the 1974-1975 time frame. it is a good feeling gun, well balanced and very tight, trigger is smooth too.
