I am sure many of you have been on EWK site and saw his prototype 15 inch Dan Wesson barrel on his home page. I wanted one bad but could not justify the 700+ dollars they were going for one gunbroker. I asked Eric about putting a deposit down on one a few months ago. I knew he was not making them right then but I wanted to make sure I got one when he started.
I sent him a check for $200 and waited. I got an email from him on Monday saying that he shipped the barrel/shroud. I was expecting to pay more on top of the $200 I sent but no additional money was asked for.
I got it today and it is super nice. It is very well made and the blueing is a very nice deep blue. I put it on my 15-2 as fast as I could. I took a few pictures with my cell phone.
Also, the grips shown are LB Custom and shaped as large frame grips.

I think that having a guy like Eric start producing these much desired items is a great thing for all of us, especially at prices like this. I confess that a 15" is kind of lost on me, but I love the 4" in .357, the 6" is OK, and the 8" is a nice to have, but I don't shoot it much.
Now, for my clamp on red dot mount 
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 don't have a purpose for this, or for most of my guns, but I just wanted one because it was so different. I wonder what it would look like if I took my scope/mount off of my maximum.

Very nice. I'll bet that 15" turns heads at the range!!

That 15" barrel is awesome looking. $200 seems like a steal compared to what I've been seeing on GB lately. Congrats!

Got to the range yesterday. Everything worked well. Kept all 50 rounds in the black at 25 yards which is very good for me. I was shooting heavy loads, hardly any recoil though extraction was sticky. Got a lot of positive comments on the gun and the grips.

I've posted pictures of one or both of these elsewhere on the Forum, but whenever anyone talks about a DW with a 15" barrel, I just gotta show them off one more time. "Ain't nothin like the real thing baby"

The one on top has only 12 rounds through it (if I can believe the guy from whom I bought it). It is extremely clean with no drag or burn marks.
I believe the bottom one to be unfired. I bought it from the original owner who purchased it in Junuary 1979.
They both like really nice out in the sun, but I am hesitant to shoot either. I, like many on the forum, am looking for a 15" barrel for one of my Pistol Pacs...to shoot. To cheap to spend the money though.
