1969 Dan Wesson Pistol Pack 4-Barrels *FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION* 357 Magnum 38 Special E
This is one of the coolest and most unique setups out there, not many people are hip to it so thought I would share!

The only thing better would be if the barrels were all vent/heavy.
A Dan Wesson 15-2VH was my first handgun purchase.

I've since added a new 6" VH barrel, which I think balances better. I like the looks of the 1980s version, without the pork chop part and without the external barrel nut.

I love VH too, and the EWK VH w/ rail! I got another DW set with all VH - that is the one I actually shoot =)
These early models (first 6 years) didn't have VH yet. I think those came out in 1975 with the 14-2 and 15-2

Is that when they went to the tab lock? Anyway, there's a regular profile vent rib as well, which is what my 15-2 has.

Mine was a 744 VH pistol pack - still have it. Also bought a 15-2VH pistol pack a few years ago or so.
Awesome revolvers!

I'll do a video soon on my other DW setup, I am awaiting parts from EWK to showcase =) it is an insanely accurate shooter. And after a tuning it feels like a sweet shooter

Mine is in a mismatched case (a .44 case), no buckle, no patch, just the one set of DW grips plus a Pachy. And it's been shot a LOT. Still snatched it up, but it's a shooter. I replaced all the barrels though. They were like $28 or something. It's the shrouds that cost $$$$.

I had a 1970's made Pistol Pac but the DW frame habit of going plum bugged me enough to sell it off. Found this one a few years later -
Attachment 1169155 Still. I like the 8" non-lugged barrel best as an all around shooter. Not to go off track, but the DW isn't on roster because?

Dunno. CZ quit making them, and now they own Colt. I think DW is upscale to Colt myself, but the pony sells guns. they should at least offer them in the custom shop. |

LOL yeah, it's the high content of nickel in the alloy.
I actually think it looks cool My other DW set is even more epic than this one, I'll share it later

I'm already jealous. I actually turned down a 715 pack 4 or 5 years ago. It was too rich for my blood. Regret thinking that now, but I have more .357 revolvers than anything else already. What I'm after is a .41 or .357 Maximum.

I've got the next gen (recessed lock nut) pork chop barrel model, made in 1975 by DW for High Standard. I have a 4" and 6" barrel for it..

I?ve gone hunting a couple of times in the intervening years, but didn?t find a reasonable deal when I was still in Cali. Now that I?m out of state, I may increase my efforts as there are more sources available.
