  I bought a 4 barrell set of the 15 (s/s) and am completely happy. I have had a DW Mod. 14 w/ 4" brl (fixed sight) for 30 years and it is the most accurate pistol I have...can hit 3"X3" at 50 yards consistently.

  I had a Model 15 with 8" and 4" barrels. I sold it to a friend for $300 years ago and he still has it. He loves it more than I ever did but I'd buy it back is he selling it. He also bought my M92 Taurus with 18 and 15 rd magazines. That was before the ban. Damn!

  Very accurate because the interchangeable barrels are mounted under tension. Very easy to change barrels and the finish is excellent. Exceptional double action pull for a revolver. The stock grips suck ... more »

  Hmmm. I have the DW 15-4 that I bought in 1978 for $180 new out the door. It is only worth about $250 today, as revolvers just aren't in demand. It's all about semi-autos today. I coudn't ... more »
