The problem: You’ve only got enough money for one revolver and can’t decide on which barrel length you want.
The solution: Place your bid on the Dan Wesson Model 15 “Pistol Pack” in the April Collector’s Elite Auction. With four different interchangeable barrel lengths, you can have whatever length you want and switch it out at will!
If the name Dan Wesson sounds familiar, it’s because Dan Wesson Firearms’ founder was Daniel Baird Wesson II — the great-grandson of the Smith & Wesson co-founder. After Smith & Wesson was bought out in the 1960s, Dan Wesson opened his own company to carry on the family’s legacy of high-quality firearms. It’s been almost 50 years since he has passed away, but the Dan Wesson Firearms legacy lives on.
Dan teamed up with Karl Lewis, a gun designer who had worked with both Browning and High Standard, to create the Pistol Pack. Lewis had been kicking around the idea for a modular gun for quite some time. It wasn’t until his work with Wesson that it came to fruition.
Dan Wesson Model 15 Pistol Pack
The core of the Pistol Pack is a Dan Wesson Model 15 revolver frame and cylinder chambered for .357 Magnum. Users could choose to outfit the gun with one of four removable barrels in different lengths: 2.5, 4, 6 and 8 inches. Unlike other revolver designs where a gunsmith is required to change barrel lengths, the Pistol Pack made the process simple. Users could do it by themselves. Just follow the included instructions and use the included tools.
Each of the barrels in the Model 15 Pistol Pack has a pinned red ramp front sight, which pairs perfectly with the adjustable white outline rear sight that’s mounted to the frame.
In addition to choosing barrel length, this package also lets you choose the type of grips to use. There’s a pair of rubber finger groove grips already installed. It also comes with a pair of smooth wood finger groove grips and a pair of checkered wood grips. When you consider that there’s four barrel lengths and three grips to mix and match, there are a ton of different combinations.
The Model 15 Pistol Pack being offered in the April Collection is the absolute complete package. You’re getting the frame, four barrels, three grips, paperwork and instructions, tools, inserts, a belt buckle, and a patch all packaged neatly in a padded aluminum carrying case.
In terms of condition, it doesn’t get any better. The entire Pistol Pack shows no evidence of consumer use or handling. It looks just as perfect today as it did when it left the factory.
Don’t miss your chance to score one incredibly unique revolver with a ton of different combinations. Place your bids on this Dan Wesson Model 15 Pistol Pack now!
