Just purchased a DW Mod 15 357. I'm new to Dan Wesson guns but have read about how sweet the trigger pull is. However, the pull on this gun seems heavy. I'm not a gunsmith so don't know how to go about adjusting the trigger pull on this gun. Any help out there?

Welcome to DWF. A couple of suggestions:
1) A good cleaning and lubricating under the sideplate is a good first step.
2) Replace the springs
3) Consider doing a little polishing on the internals
I recommend that you start your research here:

The Average Joe Tune up is very straightforward
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.

You gotta remember:
1) A DW revolver can be 30 years old, many of them have been safe queens, sitting around collecting dust and letting the factory lube petrify
2) Or they've been shot like crazy, cleaned repeatedly, collecting powder residue that mixes with lube in the cracks and crevices, and gunks everything up
Break it down, clean and lightly lube every piece.
If it's still not right, change the springs.
If it's still not right, try the Average Joe Tune-up.
DW revolvers are remarkably user friendly, old Daniel B. wanted to produce the revolver for "everyman" and he succeeded.
As a last resort, there are good gunsmiths out there that understand DW's, and DW/CZ is still very good at supporting these revolvers.
