dan wesson

260
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

    260,

    I don't know of a 357 super mag. - could he be looking for the 357 Maximum?

    To my knowledge, the 357 Max. is no longer offered as loaded ammo but new brass is still avalible. If so, he will probably have to load his own or look to a custom loader to do it for him.

    Technically 357 supermag and 357 maximum are different.

    The supermag cartridge is just a teensy bit longer (something like 1.610" vs 1.605").

    The difference had to do with some production issue, with Ruger not wanting to make a different frame size for their version of the gun.

    But for practical purposes, these are the same. 357 maximum cartridges will work in the Dan Wesson 357 supermag guns giving you effectively identical ballistics.

    This customer will probably have to get .357 maximum brass and load it.
