Long time revolver owner. I have Colts, Smith and Wessons, Rugers and Piettas. I acquired my first Dan Wesson, a 15-2-6" Fixed Barrel, from Palmer, MA this weekend. I look forward to the forum.

 

Thanks.

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, all. After complete disassembly and cleaning, everything appears to be nearly pristine. Internals and bore are solid and now immaculate. Correct wooden DW grips are on the way. More after I get a chance to run her some. Here is a pic.29541676_1855721601125722_2449537790020110658_n-2.jpgImage Enlarger

Thanks, Dan Fan. I'm looking forward to seeing her with some wood. I'll post an update here and the PIC thread.

Some models came from the factory with rubber grips.

I've come to find that. This one in particular did come with the rubber grips. 

I amend my comment: I can't wait to put the incorrect wooden grips on her. Lol.

The wood grips make it look older.laugh It's okay though, whichever way you prefer it is totally fine. That's a good looking DW, thanks for showing it off!
