Dan Wesson’s Lewis-patent tensioned barrel design clamps the barrel between the frame and a muzzle nut, promoting repeatable barrel-cylinder alignment and aiding the accuracy that made the 15-2 a favorite in early IHMSA metallic-silhouette matches.
The forward crane latch and solid one-piece frame eliminate the traditional side-plate, resulting in a stronger lockup and easier maintenance. Collectors often seek Monson-marked examples like this one, produced during what many consider the company’s peak manufacturing period.
Interchangeable vent-rib barrels allow quick length changes with basic tools. The 4-inch tube offers balanced handling, while the 10-inch option stretches sight radius for target or hunting roles. Both barrels are factory-threaded for the standard Dan Wesson muzzle nut system.
Adjustable iron sights—interchangeable ramp and patridge fronts paired with a fully adjustable square-notch rear—let shooters fine-tune point of impact for different loads or barrel lengths.
Finished in high-polish blue over carbon steel, the revolver retains a classic appearance. The walnut target grip, complete with Dan Wesson medallion and sharp checkering, provides a secure, comfortable hold for both single- and double-action shooting.
