Pictured is my 1979 Dan Wesson 15-2 .357 Magnum made in the Monson plant.   It sports a DW Mdl 14 combat grip along with a EWK Arms 2.5 barrel, EWK heavy shroud, EWK AR-style flash hider and EWK fiber optic front sigh.  I also got the barrel wrench and feeler gauge from EWK.

That a bad looking compact DW. EWK is the man with the plan. I don't think  you would have to shoot anyone with it. Just show it to them and they will run. smile

big-grin

Just follow the Dan wesson timeline-- Monson, Palmer, Norwich, sold to CZ, then sometime in the distant future CZ merges their DW branch with EWK industries...

Eric Restructures his key staff with members from the DWF and DW revolvers are back in full production with custom grips, silky smooth actions, and any shroud configuration you want...All Pac'd up in sexy cases laugh...

The DW plant now moves to OH where is stays in full production for the next few generations... The DWF now has millions of loyal members and stock options in EWK/DW.

Other revolver mfg's slowly die out due to the demand for DW's.

Oh my, imagine going into the local gunshop, and instead of a shelf full of Taurus and Rossi, the display case would be full of Dan Wessons in every caliber and barrel style?? wow

Finished, sort of.... Added a spring kit, so I could get familiar with the innards and added the Hogue nylon grips in case I want to grind and stipple.
