Versatile Dan Wesson Model 15-2 Revolver – .357 Magnum (4″ Barrel)
The Dan Wesson Model 15-2 is widely respected for its robust construction, exceptional inherent accuracy, and its innovative interchangeable barrel system. This specific model is configured with the highly versatile 4-inch barrel, striking the perfect balance between a sufficient sight radius for accurate target work and a manageable size for open carry or home defense.
Outfitted with practical, shock-absorbing black rubber grips, this revolver is designed for comfortable, all-weather shooting. The rubber grip panels expertly mitigate the stout recoil of heavy .357 Magnum loads, making this a highly shootable and dependable workhorse for the range or the nightstand.

Condition Report
This Model 15-2 is in very good, well-maintained condition. It is a solid, clean shooter that shows standard signs of careful use.
-
Finish: Retains approximately 90% of its original deep factory bluing. There is minor edge wear present around the muzzle and the high points of the cylinder, consistent with light holster use.

Mechanics: The action is exceptionally smooth, a hallmark of the classic Monson-era Dan Wesson revolvers. The front-mounted cylinder latch operates cleanly, and the lockup is incredibly tight.
