I am new to Dan Wesson revolvers, getting my first one about a week ago, a Model 15-2 with an 8" and 4" barrel.  Beautiful gun.  Thought it would be really heavy to hold, but not so bad at all! Both of my shoulders messed up from military service and arthritis so my pistol hold is a little shaky now.

 

Brilliantly designed gun, too bad they stopped making them.  Thanks for having a great place like this for fans to go.

Best regards,

John Marke

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Welcome!

Now you just need a 6" and a 2.5" barrel and your all set. I also find that a nice fat grip helps with wrist strength, and a rubber grip helps with recoil. Lots to fiddle with on a DW to get it just like you want it.  Pics... we loves pics!!!

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

Welcome to DWF!

We're ready to help you enjoy your new Dan Wesson, let us know if you want help with anything.

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.

Welcome to the forum!  Hope you enjoy the site and let us know if you have any questions.  The model 15-2 is the corner stone to most folks collection... just be aware they have a way of multiplying!

As the others have already stated thank you for your service!  Without folks like you we would not be able to enjoy simple pleasures such as this.
