So I found out today that a friend of a friend has a Monson made .357 Magnum, serial number 30910x. The gun includes three different barrels (not sure which length), the tool, and two different wooden grips. It's a blued steel finish.
- What model has he got?
- What is the approximate value of the setup? (good to very good condition)
Thanks in advance,
Mike

It's a model 15-2 if it has adjustable target sights, which the odds are it does.
If by some chance it has a fixed year sight, it would be a 14-2 (not likely).
That pistol is chambered for .357mag and will fire .38 special as well.
It sounds like a Pistol Pac (or the remnants of one) - which generally is:
4 barrels: 2.5", 4", 6", 8"
1 Revolver Frame
1 Target grip
1 Combat or Sacramento grip
1 Barrel changing tool
1 Hard sided "briefcase"
Optional: "vanity items" - belt buckle, jacket patch, keychain (?)
Value: if a complete pistol pac $650 - 850
If it is just 3 barrels, a frame, 2 grips and tool (this is my best guess): $475 - $600.
Wait for some other opinions on value.

Sounds like he's got a Pistol Pac. Does he have a suitcase too, like this?
The model is a model 15, then there's three differen barrel configurations that are available. If it's really clean, in good shape & mostly complete, I would say that it's at least worth $700...possibly much more, depending on what all's there.

Thanks for the info guys!
I'm going to look at it tonight to examine its condition.
He does not have the hard case, nor any of the 'vanity' items.
I'll let you know what I find....

It may not be an original Pistol Pack, but even if it's a M&M (mix & match), you're looking for a shooter and not a collectors item, and it's in the $500-600 range it could be a good deal. I'm trying to hook a buddy up for a good deal on a similar package that is "excess to my needs", but he may not have the ability to do it right now. If not, it's coming here first.

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.
