Are all model 15 barrels removable/interchangeable? If not, how do I know which ones are. I found a pretty nice 6". When I asked, the guy said he "thinks" it's an interchangeable model.

Ensure the revolver is clear and then look at the muzzle end. If there's a barrel nut, it's removable. On the fixed barrel heavy lug, there is an angle cut leading towards the muzzle. Sorry, not where I can post a pic, but someone soon will.

Yes DW did a run of fixed (non removable) barrel revolvers during the Palmer years. They aren't real common but do show up. The pics above show the differences. Both are good shooters, just the fixed model doesn't have the flexibility of swapping barrels.

When shopping via online. Pictures can tell a lot if you know what to look for. While DW's do have a lot of one off variations out there, as a general rule fixed barrel models all came from Palmer. FB's have a bevel on the front of the barrel lug, and will have a solid rib (no vents). So even if you can't see the muzzle a FB can usually be picked out fairly easy. The picture you added is surely a normal switch barrel model. Good luck and you are no pain cuz we love answering questions. It's fun to feed the need.
