What’s Included
- Dan Wesson Model 15-2 .357 Magnum revolver (6-inch barrel, straight shroud)
Built on the modular Dan Wesson 15-2 platform, this revolver uses a tensioned steel barrel within a removable shroud secured by a muzzle nut. The design allows the user to set barrel/cylinder gap with a feeler gauge and to change barrel lengths and shroud profiles within the system.
The 6-inch straight, non-vented shroud with a partial underlug provides a clean profile and steady sight picture. The topstrap rib is matte/serrated to cut glare. Sighting is handled by a ramped, pinned front sight with an orange/red insert and an adjustable square-notch rear.
It features a six-shot fluted cylinder with a crane-mounted forward release latch, a hallmark of Dan Wesson revolvers. The action is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer, and all major components are steel with a blued finish.
Target-style, one-piece checkered walnut grips offer a solid hold for deliberate double-action work or precise single-action shots. Made in the United States during the 1970s era, this example reflects Monson manufacturing quality and the distinctive engineering of the 15-2 series.
