I found this site because I am storing a Monson era Dan Wesson 357 in my safe and will ultimately become the owner of said pistol.  I came to possess the revolver because of helping my wife’s aunt as she cleans and prepares to sell her house.  

In an effort to learn about the revolver I’ve already been surfing the site.  Its a “barney” gun at this point with a 4” barrel.  That’s the extent of what I know oh and that its at least as old as I am if I read correctly that Monson stopped producing by 1983. 

 

I used to blow things up for the Airforce and drink beer. Now I just brew beer/sell beer and drink beer from time to time.  I couldn’t trade recreational hobbies and occupation with my transition.

Welcome from a fellow PA member!

Thanks for your service!

 

The gun you have is a great example of the Dan Wesson brand and the model most of us started with, a 15-2.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Monson stopped production in 1991. Large frame guns were always made at Palmer but roll marked Monson until 1991.
