Dan Wesson 15-2 good deal or not?
Ive posted the question on a few forums to get a true consensus of if I should pay for and keep this layaway or let it go and just lose a few bucks. Well here is what went on today:
I was walking around of all places Gander Mountain today stopped in on the way back from some AM fishing(only caught some Perch). I dont often look in there unless its something on sale. But I just happened to be back at the gun counter when I saw a familiar sight A Dan Wesson..it is a 15-2 Monson made 6" barrel with the orange sight insert and the vent barrel rib. Lockup was good. There was a slight binding which I believe is someone has the barrel snugged up way too tight against the cylinder(know this can happen as ive accidentally dont that to my current 15-2 when setting the barrel gap).
Looked to be in real good shape, had the wood grips VS my guns Rubber ones and a 6" vent rib barrel VS my "plain" 4" one. I kinda had to do a double take when I saw the $229 price tag. When the counter guy finally got over to me I asked to see it and asked if it had any case or tools with it(at the price I didnt expect it would ) he said no just the gun. So since I didnt have the $$ on me to buy it straight out I put it on lay away
Did I do good with $229 price tag on it in real nice shape but with no tools(which I already have BTW for my current one).
Now im debating taking both to range when I get this off lay away in the next 2-3 weeks and making sure the new one shoots well(i know the 4" one is fine) and then selling one...or maybe just keeping both dont know..well anyways what do you think??

Re: Dan Wesson 15-2 good deal or not?
compared to that one I this one was almost NIB lol..I did see a scratch(very slight) near the left side grip but that was it no other dings or dents i saw no pitting and a VERY SLIGHT bluing loss in the backstrap area or may have been just purpling that these seem to get.

Re: Dan Wesson 15-2 good deal or not?
That's a crazy price IMO for that DW. I think you should take if off layaway and PM me as to the time and date you will be taking it off layaway so I can be there to uhh... look at some other things.
I'd snatch one up in the shape you described for that price.
