Just found this DW site and figured I would check in. Several years age I picked up a Dan Wesson 357 in stainless, sn# 357S005288. Figured I might be able to get an idea when it was built. After reading some of the information on this site and others it seems to me that this might be a fairly early model, or am I mistaken?
Thanks,
Jim

Welcome to the Forum. The others have already suggested you post photos, so I won't.
Yeah, Right!
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.

Allright, I'll see if I can get a picture of it up. Actually it looks just like the one in lbruces picture. As for getting another, for now I think I might just try and get a few more barrels for it and maybe the case for it. Right now it has the 6 inch barrel with the vented full underlug shroud. Also noticed it shows it is a Monsen built gun, thats a good thing right ?
I am a fan of the 41 mag, I have a Smith in that caliber, might look into a DW to add to the collection.
I didn't buy this gun new so I don't know if I should do the serial # thing or not.

That would be a 715 6VH. Monson guns are the most common, Palmer guns get an unfair (IMHO) bad rap for quality.

Thanks for the warm welcom, don't know that I have much to offer as far as DW goes but I have been shooting awhile, played with IPSC for a couple of years and am considering giving IDPA a try. I like to do a little reloading now and then too.
