Awesome DW!! Looks like it’s all original and in excellent condition. You’re in for a real treat when you fire this revolver for the first time. Enjoy!!!

So thats the original grip? As soon as i find some ammo ill give yall a range report. My favorite part so far is the bill of sale from Pennsylvania in '76.

Those are one of the first of the standard target grips, circa 1973 to 75. Pre medallions. They are one of my favorites.

Well here is a stupid question is this a large or small frame? Took it out to the farm yesterday and shot it some more shoots great got my barrel wrench today so I'm getting ready to open her up and give it a good cleaning. Is there a good post on cleaning and disassembly i could refer to? Is it normal for the cases to get caught under that nub near the bottom left corner below cylinder? Thanks guys
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

(1) Small frame, you have a model 15-2
(2) Yes there is! Click--> Tuning up your 15-2 -- The Average Joe method.... Reloading, Gunsmithing and Grip Making Forum Dan Wesson Forum
(3) Yes, sometimes when you eject, a case can get snagged on that nub. It usually happens maybe in the 15%~ish range, so if it's happening more often, maybe you need to slow down & look at your technique. Just guessing here, I've never really had a problem...but I have also never been up against a clock in a timed shoot with a 15-2.

Thanks for that info on tune-up.
It was getting caught up before I Realized what was happening. You just have to pay attention to where the cases are in relation to that nub.
