Finally got some photos up:
715 and 722, both with 2 1/2" and 4" VH barrels (the 715 also has a 6"VH), both with original box, instruction manuals, barrel wrench/gauge, some extra sights, and the 722 also has the smaller, round butt grip. All I really need now is an original Monson 6" VH for the 722.
I'm pretty happy with these guys.

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.

Hi guys! First post, and my first DW revolver, though I'm thinking not my last.
From what I have read in the model guide, I think it's a Model 15 (not the -2), but please correct me if I'm wrong.
It is pretty darned used, but it's still one heck of a gun. When I get the time it's going to get a new polish, a nice hot blue, and a refinish on the grips (to fill the grain and bring out the figure a little more)

Here's my other two...are we allowed to show our other plinkers? (delete if these aren't allowed. )
This is my little Colt .357 Lawman Mk III, which I believe was made in 1971.

This one's my Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 10.5" barrel. I acuired this a few months ago from an older gentleman who bought it in the 80's...

...he never did shoot it. Didn't even remove the cylinder zip-tie!
This was the day I brought it home.

This is my first DW, and honestly, my first handgun in general. Inherited it from my stepfather a couple months back and I have been nothing short of astounded by how accurate and fun this thing is at the range. There is no model name to be found, but it is a .357 magnum, stamped with Monson, MA and from what I can gather, I have a Model 15-2. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Unfortunately, the patch, belt buckle, and case are missing from the Pistol Pac, but I do have the original barrel and gap tool. I absolutely love the way it shoots, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a replacement rubber grip? I love the look of the stock wooden one but it just doesn't feel that spectacular in my hands. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Hey Dusty - just be origional - I chang eit every month for thes eason......have fun!
Roche, go on lone and look for rubber (Pacmyers) grips for the 15, it won't look as good, but, might feel btter with heaver loads....nice gun - enjoy!

I've got a Pacmyer (sp?) grip on mine (was on it when I got it), and although it doesn't look as pleasing to the eye as a wood grip, the fit in my hand is much better than an original style.
Great looking weapon, by the way.

Photo - LOL! I meant I might use your line on my wife, not on my post!
Roche - like Photo said, Pachmayr presentation and grippers are available (usually a couple on eBay or GunBroker - both are excellent. Unfortunately the best thing about the stock target grip IS the way they look.
For the shorter barrel I like the wooden "undercover / Hi Std" model - much smaller, VERY comfortable. Also several on eBay and GB.
Great looking set - nice pic with the speedloader.
