Which Model
« on: May 28, 2005, 11:21:36 AM »
If anyone can help me I have a couple of questions.

I found a Dan Wesson revolver for what I thought was a steal at $250. I have never owned nor used a Dan Wesson firearm but was looking for a .357 for deer hunting. The revolver in question is pristine and has only had about 100-200 rds fired through it according to the lady that owned it. It just sat oiled up in a gun safe.

The gun in question has no model # but after reading these forums believe it to be a Model 15.

On the barrel is stamped :

DAN WESSON ARMS
357 MAGNUM CTG

On the receiver is stamped :

DAN WESSON ARMS
MONSON, MASS. USA
205XXX

It has adjustable rear sight (with white outline) and 4" barrel.

I fired target, medium and hunting loads before buying it and got 6" groups at 25 yards. Although these were not where I was aiming I was looking at groups not aim point. The accuracy is really what sold me. I am a semi auto 9mm pistol and not a revolver man.

Any info would be helpful. Approx year of manufacture, model etc.

I read also a Python holster can be used for this. I need a nylon shoulder hoster for deer hunting.

Just seemed a great price for a well cared for gun.
