Hi I just aquired my first Dan Wesson revolver last week, I was doing some chainsaw work for an older gentleman who had a tree fall on a section of barbed wire fence, I cut the tree and two others into firewood and stacked it and repaired the downed fence. For payment the gentleman gave me his old Dan Wesson in .357mag. I'm very new to them and know pretty much nothing about them beyond the fact of what he told me about them having barrels that can be switched out for different lengths. So needless to say I maybe asking lots of questions.

Hello Kyle and to the

to our place and that is a cool way to obtain a Dan. It will likely be a special gun to own, obtained in that manner. There are as others stated a lot of threads to educate yourself here.

As soon as I can figure out how to get a picture on here I will get one posted, as for whether or not the gentleman was the original owner I do not know, he said he has had it for years and that if you point it at something you will hit it when you pull the trigger other than that he didn't say much except that he just didn't have the time to shoot it anymore.

not the best picture but here it is, a bit rough but it still shoots strait and is a smooth shot as well.

Hey thats not bad, most of the wear looks to be on the shroud, an easy fix if
your ever interested one day, but that don't make it shoot any better.
Congrats

Man, for a few hours work, I think you made out pretty well!
That is a model 15-2 VH6. Meaning a 15-2 with a Vent Heavy 6" barrel. Looks like a late 70's Monson gun, if the grips are original. Also, you can turn the medallion straight again by removing grip & pushing it out from the inside with a bent paperclip. Then just reinsert it in straight.
Congrats on landing that one & aboard.
