Dan Wesson

Looking on the auction side at the Dan Wesson model 15. There is the model 15, 15-2, 15V, 15HV etc.
Understanding that on some models, different barrel lengths can be easily changed with the company tool. Was wondering the compatibility of the barrels on this model? Will a model 15 barrel work on a model 15-2, and others?
I have been a pistol guy for 20 years and thought I would give the revolver a try and like the looks of the older Dan Wessons.

    I have a Dan Wesson pistol pac that includes the 357 revolver with 8" barrel in stainless. It also include an extra 8" barrel with a Burris 1 1/2x-4x scope. Can someone tell me what I should get for it? I am in Indiana if that makes a difference

(2.What is the frame size/style(So I can get a holster)? (3.Is it possible to still obtain parts for this model)I am looking for barrel/shroud parts in various lengths)?. I have been asking locally with no success.

    I have a Dan Wesson .357 that has a barrel length of 7.5". Would that be the actual barrel length or would that be considered a 7" or 8". Also what is the "choke" screwed into the barrel? I believe it is a model 15 in ss

    Any info good or bad about the Dan Wesson 1911's made in Norwich NY. I'm considering buying one or maybe an older Dan Wesson revolver.

    Dan Wesson makes an awesome 1911 and CZ usa just purchased the company so things will just get better.

    My buddy had a pistol pack and when barrel was changed, proper adjustment required, gun shot like a true winner. Surprised to hear Company is out of business. As I remember, guns were of excellent quality and fit.

    You will be seeing one on GB soon as I am doing some stuff for him and old Dan is going to be put up for some serious consideration by someone online.

    Enjoy the day! Life is great!

    If it is a 5 shot it is a 738 if 6 shot probably a 715. Dan Wesson firearms are currently being made by NYI in Norwich, NY. Most parts for the older guns are available check their web site for current info.
