Mostly just lurk in here from time to time.
Have had a 15-2 for 30+ years and it has been flawless.
Picked a second up about 5yrs ago NIB that had just sat till I stumbled upon it
got it for a steal also.
Every now and then the action would lock up and would need to advance the cylinder by hand then
it would be fine for a time some time long sometimes not - worse if you held it to the side.
Decided to finally pop the side plate and see if I could wreck something as usual.
After not finding anything out of place to my eye after the third time I started a search in here.
BINGO my hand spring had the tab end on top of the hand instead of the groove - I wonder if
that is why it sat for 30+ years unsold - Works flawless now.
Just wanted to say Thank You!!!

Great use of the forum. I noticed that it's very easy to make that mistake when reassembling a Dan Wesson, mainly because the spring is so small and my eyes are what they used to be. I bought a magnifying lamp to solve that problem and it has been one of the best tools I've purchased in a long time. I use it almost every day.
Now, you need to post some pics of those Dan's.
(it's not really worthless but we sure would like to see them)

Jerry- well played on the Smiley 
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.

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:
if you find one...what's your plan?
