Have a beginner question I want to run by you guys.

I have a new (to me) DW Model 14-2 .357.  It has a 2.5" barrel right now, but I would like to pick up a couple of other barrels also.  Which barrels fit this model?  I'm pretty sure that the 15-2 barrels are interchangeable with my revolver, but I'm not sure if the vented barrels also fit.  I've actually never seen any of the other barrels, so I'm sorry if I sound like a rube.

That's a perfectly good question, no worries.Wink

The 15-2 barrels will interchange with your 14-2, the only thing you'll have to change will be the front sight. The 15-2 front sights are much taller than the 14-2. I think EWK Arms is making some short sights that will work in this situation...click the link at the right of this screen.

Yes, you can use any of the the 15-2 barrel assemblies, and the EWK conversion front sight ($9.99) solves the only problem, front sight height.

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.

If you do get a 15-2 barrel for your 14-2, shoot it first, it may be the right sight

to hit point of aim. I would not change sight untill I saw what it was doing first.
