tell me about this gun

Can't speak to the Colt... don't own one. DW tho? I own a Patriot and a CCO. If you're going to buy one sight unseen.... Call Dave Severns at Severns Custom. One of the most reputable people I've ever met.
Just my 2 cents.

Well I sold my Gold Cup to get my DW . Also based on what I've read. Haven't shot it yet. My feelings for the Gold Cup changed when I got my Eclipse II. The Kimber shoots groups inside of what the Colt would do. About the only thing I'll miss is the incredible blueing my Gold Cup had but not the sqishy trigger. Now if it's range only gun and a pristine 70's series, that changes the game. It's a Colt and it will never lose its value. BTW the Colt was my first pistol and I had it for 21 years so a lot of thought went into letting it go, so hopefully all goes well when I finally get to the range and if it does, I'll have no regrets.

I have a number of 1911s. Most of them are DW in both .45 and 10mm. They are some of the best of the best 1911s out there. I would take a DW over a Colt or Kimber any day of the week including Sunday.

The CZ Dan Wessons are, if anything, better than the pre-CZ Dan Wessons. The Heritage is an entry level DW, IMO, but does not, in any way, shirk on quality, fit or finish, it's just not an $1800 or $2000 Valor or Specialist.

The RZ was first a 10mm and took it's name from the rib on the top of the frame. When CZ started in with DW, they made the RZ-10 and then later a .45 version of the same design which is the Heritage.

I would recommend this gun to anyone who was ready to spend a little over a grand for a 1911. It's the best deal you could get.

Can't speak on this DW but I would not give up my Gold Cup for one. I have had Gold Cup for a couple of years and its a darn fine gun. Shoots straight and true and its a tack driver. DW are super nice though, not taking away from them. I sold my Mimber to get a Colt. You will not be sad to get a DW.......
