Just purchased my first Dan Wesson the other day. I've been searching through this website trying to learn more about the revolvers. I had always wanted one, and I finally found one. It is a Md 15 or 15-2 (not sure, hope someone could help) .357 mag with an 8" barrel, manufactured in Monson. It has a six digit serial # begining with 14xxxx. It's in great shape and the blueing is pretty good. Some of the pics make the blueing look bright because of the flourscent lights. Any comments would be appreciated.

Good morning and welcome to the 
Your DW is a model 15-2 with a standard 8" shroud. The standard shrouds are actually less common than the vented and vented heavy shrouds in my opinion.
That serial number dates the revolver to approximately 1977.
Thanks for posting the pictures. Enjoy the forum!

Thanks for the info. Am I correct in thinking that a VH barrel and shroud would fit this? I was thinking about getting a 6" VH for this also.
I can't wait to but some rounds through her. I ordered a barrel wrench set from CZ-USA, found the number on this site, coming in handy already. I want to make sure the barrel is secure and the gap is correct before I take her to the range.

You are correct the VH barrel and shroud will fit nicely on your frame.

Welcome to DWF. Thanks for the pictures, and keep shooting that 15-2, it's perfect (in great shape, but clearly a shooter).
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.

aboard, that's a great looking 15-2 you've found.
I'm sure it will be a great shooter, once you get it to the range.

Another PA guy ... Nice looking DW. If you want to get the addiction rolling quickly, just let me know.... I have a lead on a 15-2 in Pittsburgh for a good price. It can be yours with a simple phone call !
