Dan Wesson Model 15-2 Snub-Nose Revolver – .357 Magnum (2.5″ Barrel)
Built like a tank and renowned for its rugged dependability, the Dan Wesson Model 15-2 is a classic piece of American revolver engineering. Unlike the pristine collector packages, this specific 2.5-inch snub-nose model is an honest, “shooter-grade” working gun. It carries the cosmetic character of a revolver that has seen years of genuine carry and use, making it a perfect candidate for a trail gun, a tackle box companion, or an everyday concealed carry piece that you won’t be afraid to put through its paces.
Even with its well-worn exterior, the fundamental Dan Wesson mechanics—including its famous front-latching cylinder and tensioned barrel design—remain inherently solid and ready for the range.

Condition Report
This revolver shows a decent amount of honest, working wear. It is a functionally sound shooter, but it is not a safe queen.
-
Finish: Retains roughly 60-70% of its original bluing.
-
Bore: Good to Very Good. Despite the exterior wear, the bore remains remarkably clean with strong, well-defined rifling.
-
Grips: The smooth walnut concealment grips show distinct signs of use. There are visible dings, compression marks, and edge scuffs, but they remain structurally sound with no major cracks that would compromise your hold.
-
Mechanics: The action remains reliably smooth, true to the Dan Wesson pedigree. Cylinder lockup is good, with only minor rotational play expected from a heavily used revolver. The front cylinder latch engages positively. Both double-action and single-action trigger pulls function as intended.
-
Note on Barrel: The barrel nut is tight and secure, but please note this listing does not include the proprietary Dan Wesson barrel wrench necessary to swap or tension the barrel.
Included Accessories
- Note: This listing includes the revolver only. There is no original box, paperwork, spare barrels, feeler gauges, or barrel wrench included.
