The Model 14-2 is a double-action/single-action .357 Magnum built in the United States with an all-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel. Its blued finish pairs with a one-piece checkered wood grip set that carries silver DW medallions, offering a traditional Dan Wesson look and feel.
Key to this model is the interchangeable, tensioned barrel and shroud system. This example is configured with a 2 in barrel under a standard partial-underlug shroud that leaves the ejector rod exposed, providing a compact profile while retaining the rigidity benefits of the tensioned design.
Sighting equipment is straightforward and robust: a ramped front sight and a fixed notch rear sight that is milled into the topstrap. This fixed iron sight arrangement supports fast alignment on a carry-length revolver.
Operational features include the distinctive forward crane-mounted cylinder-release latch and a six-shot, six-flute cylinder. Factory markings include the Monson, Massachusetts "DAN WESSON ARMS" rollmark and the "DAN WESSON ARMS 357 MAGNUM CTC" marking on the barrel assembly.
