Hi Everybody:
Hello from New York. I'm glad to find a forum for Dan Wesson Firearms.
Just bought my first revolver and am very excited to get it out to the range! Its a 715 model and I looked up the serial number and I think it was manufactured in Monson, Ma. in around 1991 or 1992.

Welcome to the Forum, nice looking 715, and with a Pachmayr Gripper, that's a nice add-on.
Take so advice from one who learned the hard way: The plastic DW barrel wrench is crap and is a disaster waiting to happen. Use it very carefully, AND BUY AN EWK BARREL WRENCH!
(I know the CAPS can be considered rude, but this is important)
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.

That's a nice looking Dan. My favorite is my stainless 15-2.
Thanks for the picture.

x2 what Steve said about the wrench.
That's a nice looking 715.

Welcome! First post and you already figured out the model, date, and how to post a pic
I agree w/ Steve and Bruce (did I really just say that???) Get an EWK barrel wrench.

You're going to love it. I have a 715 with a couple of LB custom grips and 2.5 and 6 inch barrel. A lot of guys don't like shooting the 2.5, but I love it! I was surprised how accurate it was for such a shortie. The 6" is just an outright tack driver. You might want to check LB Custom grips over there ---->. Also the EWK fiber optic front sight is really amazing.
