Not oil folk, Dan Wesson.

Had a change to shoot my DW 15-2 6" again the other day and it's just amazing how nice a shooter this old gun is. It's very, very accurate and the trigger is smoother than any of my Colts or Smiths except perhaps, the old Improved New Service.

Before I went I reseated the barrel and set the gap down to about .002 (works great but I find I have to wipe the front of the cylinder off after every ten reloads or so) and stocked up on 38SWC and a couple boxes of 125gr 357s. It has the Wolff reduced power trigger spring and the 7.5# hammer spring.

Nice gun, I have owned a couple of DW's and have not been disappointed in them...

Just out of curiosity what does the double action trigger pull run around with the reduced power Wolff springs? Thanks as am curious.

Nice. The OTHER Wesson was one I had my eye on several years ago. I liked the idea of barrel changing.

I haven't measured it. I need to do that sometime when I remember to, but from feel, it's a little lighter than the SA pull on my Army Specials, DS or 1917s. I'd guess (and this is really a WAG) that it's around 4.5#. It's still a long pull but smoother even than my Smiths, none of the Colt like stageyness and feels like a rollerbearing on glass.

I've had my M15 for years and it has served well. Accurate as all get out (as long as the B/C gap is right), tough as nails, and not a bad trigger once you get used to it. Since father time is starting to show up in my eyes I think she will get an optic sight of some sort mounted on a new shroud.
