I recently acquired a blued DW 15-10VH in .22lr. The fellow I purchased it from did a ton of silhouette shooting back in the day. Also won 2 back to back state championships with this gun. I fondled it before I bought it and it had an awesome trigger pull on it. He had it in to DW a few times to tune it....here is my question... I never attempted to dry fire in double action till I got home...it WILL NOT rotate the cylinder and binds up. Did DW make single action only triggers for .22lr and other calibers?? Or is this an aftermarket parts or a factory tuning job? I took a pic of the internals but cant figure out how to post from my cellphone. Will keep trying...sorry. Hope I have this in the proper topic.....

That is a Model 22, not a15-2. Yes, I've heard of SAO Model 22's, but not sure about other calibers.

First of all, this is the right Forum for your question.
A 15-10 VH in .22lr is not a valid DW model, a "15" would be a .357 Magnum
There were Single Action only DW revolvers, and I think they might have been in .22, and they would likely have a "hooded" front (or rear?) sight, and have been set up for silhoutte shooting and have a ram engraved on the shroud. If you have this gun, it's pretty uncommon.
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.

I have a Palmer 22 with a 10 inch barrel that is SAO, it has a ram on the shroud, and a patridge site, no hood. I have a Norwich 22 V10 with a Bomar hooded site, it is double acrltion.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

OK...I think I figured this picture thing out...
Below is my new (to me)single action only DW22-VH10
My bad for all the fingerprints on it. I fondled it to death
And yes...it does have the ram on the shroud
Below:
Here is the reason for my post. I find out that after I thought it was broken (No double action)...
that it is a single action only, from the guys of this forum (Thanks Guys!)
I didnt realize that they were made. But thats why Im here!!
I see the absence of the linkage that cocks the hammer.
I had to open it up and see..
But..It is now time to go out
and shoot tonite after work if the rain holds out. I'll have a range report as soon as I can.

You beat me too it. Yes there is SA only silhouette 22s. 10" in either V or VH, Blue or stainless. They can have hoods or not. The hammer IS different. No strut,hence no DA. I have one in stainless. I also have a hammer from a DA Dan. I will put it in and convert it to DA. As far as I know, it is the only difference. 10" was the longest 22 length made but if you could have EWK make you a longer one you could use a 15-2 shroud in 12 or15 inch.

I can't wait to see how that 10" performs .. if that guy did so well in comps, I'll bet it's sweet !

I think also that there is/was some kind of provision in California that made an otherwise not allowable revolver OK there if it is modified to SA only. This resulted in some people "neutering" a DA revolver to SA to make it legal to bring in to the state. As noted, I "THINK" this was happening at one time.

My Norwich SRS-1 22 V10 is a tack driver, the Palmer is NIB and unfired but I would bet money that it is a tack driver too.
Ron I believe you are correct on the California SAO modification.

As far as I know, none of the Monson or Palmer 722 Silhouette guns had hooded front sights from the factory. At the time, the IHMSA rules did not allow hooded sights on any .22LR, except the Browning Buck Mark Silhouette with 9 7/8" barrel.
You got a nice treasure. Here is mine, a Monson.
