    I'm in Charles County and I'm looking for a gunsmith with some expertise with revolvers. I have a Dan Wesson 15-2 which has problems with light strikes on the primer when fired double action. Thanks in advance.

    There is no one that I would personally trust in the Southern Maryland area for this.

    I'd call Scott's Gunsmithing and see about taking it to him. Dan Wessons are a bit odd internally and if you've never worked on one, it can be tricky.

    I had been referred to Scott's Gunsmithing before, but was wondering if there was a closer alternative. Yes, the internals on a Dan Wesson are different from most other revolvers.

    Yes , DWs have their own internal design . If you were looking for somthing like an action job , you would need a specialist . But just swaping a mainspring isn't bad . ( Source- having total detail stripping on my DW. Once .)

    If it's just a mainspring. That may not be the problem.
