Hello DW forum. After reading a lot of post off of here I decided to purchase a DW myself. I probably overpaid a little but I had to have it, bought it last week at Cabela's for $500. I've already been out to the range three times. This gun is amazing to shoot.

Please correct me if I am wrong. This is a DW 15-2, Monson, 8" barrel. Serial#:2587XX puts manufacture date in '78 or '79.

I have my target/hunting pistol; now I need to find a 2 1/2" for my CCW.

You missed just one thing, it also has the Pachmayr Gripper, my favorite rubber grip.

Welcome to the Forum, we're getting a pretty strong Texas group here.

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, and that's beautiful.  You should be able to find a 2-1/2 barrel assembly on GB or even eBay.

Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum and the world of DW also thanks for the picture, if you are happy with your purchase it doesn't matter if you paid $5, $50, $500 or $5000 as long as you are pleased.

I agree, it doesn't matter if I got the deal of a lifetime.  I have a DW revolver I absolutely love and couldn't be happier with.  My friend has a S&W 686 I have shot many times and was debating between a S&W 686 and a DW.

I must say I am proud to be a DW owner.

welcome from Kentucky! Very nice 15-2 you have there. I really like the 8" barrels.

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