Recommendation on 1st DW.
I decided to make 2017 my first Dan Wesson year. So I ask for your recommendations.
I'm very familiar with 1911's and own several makes and models, jut not a DW. Thanks.

Kinda depends on what you want...
What length barrel? What frame material? What finish? What caliber? That will narrow it down considerably...

Great news indeed !!
 I own one of the CCO's and have had 'ZERO' issues with it and the fit/finish is faultless.

I have a VBOB. It looks lovely in the safe. It fails to go into battery. The slide stop and thumb safety fell off....twice. I spent $$ to get it fixed.
I tried to sell it, no luck. Apparently, I got the only lemon that DW ever produced.

, I am with the Sky Pilot Michael on this one, especially since it is a play time choice. I have several 1911's, Wilson Combat and DW in 9mm and .45 both but my favorite play time pistols are a WC full size In 38 super and the most fun of them all, DW Guardian in 38 Super. I love the cartridge and the Guardian is a natural point and shoot for me. It is magic. I don't remember the last time looked at the sights. It shoots where I look. The only other that worked that well was the DW ECO I traded for it. I have acquired another ECO 9mm because I missed it but truthfully I have had it close to a year and it remains unfired. Good luck with your search. Dennis  Up
