Well I finally went and did it. After months and months of asking questions of you all i made a decision and its finally here.
Dan Wesson model 15-2. It came with two barrels and two sets of grips.
Both a 10 inch and a 6 barrel and wood and pachmyer grips.
Ive only had it a short time so im not sure which grips i will end up using full time but one thing i do know is this pistol is going to require a lot of ammuntion.!!
Well the bluing is the deepest and darkest ive ever seen with a reflecting property like a mirror. The internals and cylinder are in excelent condition and there is no showing of serious wear. This thing is a tank. There really isnt anything i dont like about this pistol. I got to shoot a 686 the week before i received this one and find i favor it over the smith. IMO better weight, trigger, sights,vent rib, S/A and D/A pull and i prefer my grip options much more. Also the way the cylinder opens is different and im finding it pretty cool.
Plus due to the weight of the frame felt recoil is reduced. I like the feel and heft of it much more than the 686 too.
I dont feel ive settled at all, what an amazing pistol IMO.
Does anyone else have one ? There isnt a lot of info out there.
BTW the finnish is so glossy its hard to get a good shot. The bluing on the reciever is almost purple in colour. Dan certanly spared no luxury making this wonderful piece.
