Hello from Oklahoma!
Pleased to have joined this forum, after just reacquiring a Dan Wesson revolver. I had a 445 supermagnum, back in the 90's, which as we all have done, regretably sold; probably the most accurate Handgun I have ever owned.
I picked up a 15-2v 6" 357mag yesterday, with the original case, but no wrench etc., but ordered the aftermarket ones from EWKArms. Serial No. is 293xxx, so I believe is a 1980 model, manufactured at the Monson plant. May have paid a little over the top, but in todays Gun frenzy, I felt very comfortable paying $510. The gun shows very little use and I would rate in Exc+ condition, with barely any bluing wear & the barrell is as clean as a whistle & cylinder travel extremely minimal.
Took it down the range this morning, had some nice grouping at about 20yds, but all high & to the left, probably user technique error?? On receipt of the barrel wrench will check the gap. I shot 38 Spl+P & 357mag & found the latter to perform better.
Once I figure out how to upload photos, I will do so & would be pleased to have some input on my newbie! Obviously have not researched the site extensively as a guest, but as a member, I am sure I will find plenty more useful info.!

I found high left groups cause by ammo and grip. Fine tuned with some
barrel gap adjustment. Do a little more shooting and pay close attention
to your technique before you make any changes.

Thanks for the Welcomes!
Your comments Blacktop are noted, just awaiting the wrench set up from EWK to check the gap. I plan on getting their 2 1/2", which I was informed, should be available in Februay. Anyone have expierence with this barrell? I also shoot Rugers LCR, which is a cannon in 357mag, but fine in 38Spl + P & very accurate. My thinking, EWK's 2 1/2, will be more manageable in 357 mag??
