i just bought a 15-2 357 8" from the local gunshop for $249.00 . i honestly don't think they know anything about them because i bought a .22 6" dan wesson last year for $225.00 .
anyways my 15-2 has a screw behind the trigger in the frame that seems to be out pretty far. if i cock the hammer back and pull the trigger it almost doesnt go back far enough to set the gun off. My question is how much trigger travel should there be ? and is there a standard so many turns in on that screw ? thanks - Art

That is the trigger overtravel screw, and if it just allows the trigger to release consistently without additional travel, it is adjusted exactly right
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.

Art, looks like Steve has you answered. But if your local gun shop is going to give away Dan Wessons like that I'm going to come up there for a visit!

i know right .
the wood grips on the .22 i just got and are damn near mint. i also got those at the same gunshop. i was at the cash register and i happen to look down at this old case they have and i barely saw the DW on the grip under the dust. i asked to look at it and knew right away what they went to. i asked how much , he said " a wood grip must be worth $20.00 " , i said SOLD ! 
im keeping my eye out for more dan wessons every time i go there !

That's odd mine has a screw just inside the crook on the trigger, where it hits the frame just at the opening for the trigger.

Some had the over travel screw on the trigger, and some on the trigger guard. I don't remember which one came first though.

They were using the Blue Book of Gun Values for their price list.
Good for you, Congrats
