Looks like a Model 14-2 to me, and seemingly in very nice condition. You can shoot the heck out of this thing and still keep it in great condition forever!

Sweet revolver all right. I know what you mean about old eyes not seeing so well. I've painted the front sight on ALL of my revolvers. Acrylic hobby paint from Walmart in bright orange works best for me. I've also cut a white outline for the rear sight from address labels. Very sharp tiny scissors are needed to do a neat job of it (I borrow my wife's craft scissors when she's not looking). Then just stick it on and it's good for a long time if you're careful not to douse it with cleaning fluid during cleaning. If it wears out, just make another one!

Very nice. Good price. When I started shooting the front sight was blurry with my bifocals using either the distance lense or the reading lens. I was 62 then and 70 now. I bought a model 12 because of the big sights. Didn't help. Then I got trifocals with the middle lense called computer distance. OMG. What a difference that made. I will never be a competitive shooter because of my eyes and starting late but I can put 5 out of 6 rounds within a fist size group at 15 yards on a good day. At 5 yards that is deadly. Lol.

I just gave up on the bifocals/trifocals after trying them twice. I can see the front sight well enough to shoot...eh, ok. Not like I used to for sure. Driving is where they really drove me nuts. I told my eyedoctor how much trouble I had with them and he said, "They aren't for everyone, some people just can't seem to tolerate them at all!", and that was that, no more bifocals for me. When I mentioned to a friend that I had given up on them, he was shocked and said everytime he complained to his eye doctor, he just kept saying, "you'll get used to them eventually!". My eye doctor got a new patient, and my friend now carries a reading pair and a pair he wears the rest of the time, and is much happier. I have a pair of "Computer Glasses" that I can't even stand to wear for using the computer! So they are now a spare pair of single vision cheap glasses without all the add on stuff (anti glare, transistions, etc) my regular glasses have.

Good score on a nice Dan Wesson!
When I am shooting iron sights on any handgun, I use my Merit Optical Attachment. It gives me a much clearer focus on the sights and the target. I always use this in silhouette competition and practice events and whenever I shoot my handguns at longer than normal plinking distances.

At 65 years of age and a lifetime astigmatism sufferer I wear progressive lenses for everyday wear. They are OK for everything except reading music and handgun shooting. Computer glasses work really well for the intended purpose and make excellent shooting glasses as well, for me at least. In handgun shooting the target is always a fuzzy blur anyhow as we focus on our sights. If I happen to forget my computer glasses on a shooting outing my neck will really start to hurt from having to hold my head back to be able to focus on the sights.

I found SSP eyewear a few years ago- really makes a difference having the bifocal on top to keep your head in the correct position.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

These would be great if I didn't have prescription glasses. They don't seem to be made to be worn over top of one's regular glasses. I appreciate the helpful hint though.

Check out the Methow kit and the adapter for 'scrips. Scroll through their products- they can also refer you to an optometrist who can flip the bifocal to the top.

I appreciate the information, but it's probably more than I want to get into. After a trip or two to the range without my correct glasses I learned to be very diligent about making sure I pack them in my range bag!
