[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ... Dan Wesson, Model 15-2 "Pistol Pack". Ever heard of it?

.. w/four interchangeable barrels, differing lengths

Would you buy the pack, or was it a passing fad from the 1970's?

I might have in the 70/80s, but now my wheelguns rarely get shot. Seemed like a good idea with the different bbls, but it never really caught on, and we shooters moved on to autoloaders. I got caught up in 1911s about then.

Dan Wessons are great guns.

The DA pulls tend to be a bit rougher than S&W, so if you are primarily a DA shooter then take that into consideration.

The tensioned barrel produces excellent accuracy.

I have a DW .44 that I enjoy shooting and it delivers the goods. DW revolvers have started to appreciate over the last few years if that matters to you.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat in .357 mag as it would fit the bill for the wheel gun in my collection that I don't have.

Great set. Do it without hesitation.

Neat sets, starting to gain some collector interest in the past few years as well.

Just picked up a unfired .357 Wesson 6", i love it. Plus it was $250.00 what's not to hate. Would love to find the barrel pack for it

Extremely strong gun for firing max loads. The 8" was great for hunting. I shot a rabbit in the head and paced it off at 50 yards. I wasn't that familiar with it but laid down in prone and could only see the ears so I lowered it a "hair" and squeezed one off. Couldn't find the head or the ears.

I had the 4" and 8" barrels. Wish I would have kept it but still have 586 I traded for.

Yes get it! My father has one with the four inch barrel, and it is insanely accurate. These rival a Colt Python in accuracy, in fact they are better.

The spare barrels online are a couple hundred EACH, so please let me know the price you paid if you did get the pack.

I just bought a four barrel pack. I paid a pretty penny (fair though) and the value of these will continue to rise. They are so very accurate, and they are tanks. Will be the revolver your grandchildren shoot.

I've also been on the look out for a pistol pack in .41 Mag. Buy It!

Very underrated and under valued,... That has been changing in the past few years.
Prices are climbing.

Great guns. Very accurate beasties.
