Hello All,

New here from Monroe, La. My wife bought me a Dan Wesson .357 I was eyeing in the pawn shop for an anniversary gift. I don't know what model it is but from reading here I am leaning towards a Model 14 Service, it is not a Pork Chop. The gun has alot of finish wear and needs a ton of cleaning. I plan on getting it serviced and re-blued. I don't know alot about these guns but for $200 I wanted it!

Yep she's a model 14. That's not finish wear, that's experience.Big Grin Welcome to the DWF Sign.

Welcome to DWF. That 14 is begging for some TLC. Start with a good cleaning, maybe pop off the sideplate for a cleaning and interior lube. If it's a good shooter, grips are easy, and a reblue is pretty easily arranged, if you're so inclined

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.

And character!Big Grin Which is never a bad thing.Wink
For $200, I'd say you definitely got yourself a good deal.occasion Your model 14 (14-2, to be specific) probably had a matte blue finish originally, so if it doesn't shine like a "bling gun", it was built that way...built to be a serious no-frills shooter.Laugh 

 

Welcomeaboard and congrats on your nice score! Kudos to such a cool wife too, for buying an irreplaceable piece of history for an anniversary gift.  That's really neat.

I'm sure that with a good scrubbing, it'll be a great gun for you (or both of you).DWF Sign

Welcome to the DWF.

Nice looking Dan.  If you really want to re-blue, contact member HotBluer.  He di the blueing for Dan Wesson at one point.
