Hey Y'all!!!
Been a Dan Wesson revolver fan for about a year now since I bought my first. I just got back from my FFL with my second. I own Rugers and Smiths, but to me nothing beats a DW!!

Well, that's what brought me here to be honest. I don't know. Here is a pic of both of them. I have been trying to read up, but I am confused..
The one I brought home tonight is on top.
They are .357 and both have adjustable rear sights, and removable fronts. The one on top is Monson, the one below is Palmer and does not have the removable lug desined barrel.
I'm sure you guys are going to know in a second, but I truly am confused. Any help will be soooo appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Both nice looking, looks like you have one of the 715FB (Fixed Barrel) models. Not so common, they started showing up here less than a year ago. Seems strange for DW to do that, trading away a signature design characteristic. They are reportedly great shooters, however.
And
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.

Thanks for the details, and I have to say it is an awesome shooter. I'm looking forward to reading more about them here.
And btw- I love the shot fired for new posts... Very Cool!!!

to the DWF Joseph!
You are now an official CRA - check under FAQS on the right side of the forum for acronyms...
And find a ton of info under the archives / files tab while your looking for cool stuff to read.
Apparently DW made fixed barrel guns since the very first service models, but they were few and far between and as Steve said, sort of voided the signature concept. Nuthin' wrong with 'em though...
Good to add to the Texas contingent!

aboard, glad to have ya!
Looks like you've got yourself a couple beauties there, nice work! The one on top is a 715 6V (7 {stainless} 15 {357} 6 {6" barrel} V {Vented shroud}), and the bottom one Steve took care of you on.
Thanks for showing off your new toys!

You guys are great and thanks for the info again. I'll be bringing the 715V out tomorrow so I let you know how she does. Too date it is the longest barreled pistol I own and am interested to see how I do with it.
And I just read what CRA meant ... Very funny.. It seems even my Rugers and Smiths are Stainless too, so I guess you are right. For some reason I always go for revolvers of that kind.

Hi Joseph! Two nice Dan Wessons there. The fixed-barrel one is a bit more scarce. You should try some 8 and 10" barreled revolvers. They are almost like another world when it comes to shooting them.

That will be my next step for sure. I looked into a replacement barrel on my 715 V6 but it is cost prohibited. I'll just wait till I see a nice complete DW.
