Talking Father's Day at The Range. Wilson vs Wesson

This was a comparison, Dan Wesson Silverback vs. Wilson Combat CQB.
Each Target was at 50 feet. 20 rounds each, Federal 230 grain ball ammo
Light Wind, pretty high humidity, about 85 degrees.
Personally, I Love both guns! However, I don't see the justification to pay over $1000.00 more for a Wilson CQB over a Dan Wesson Silverback or even a Valor.
Judge for yourselves. By the way, both guns ran Flawlessly

Just because...that's why! Some people want a WC, other's don't. Some people want a DW, other's don't. It's just personal preference, that's all.

Some people have the need for a Porsche Panamera Turbo while other's are happy with a Toyota Corolla.

All we really need is a 1911 that shoots accurately and a Llama, Citidel or RIA can do that, right? Being hand built with all the bells and whistles are just ego boosters and this is coming from a guy who dropped serious coin on a Baer, just because he could.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

I agree 100% . But I have sold a few Wilsons just to buy more Dan Wesson's
Just Because it is what I like!
All I am saying is this: Dan Wesson has been getting better & better. And IMHO reasonably priced for what you get. My "Test" just shows that a Dan Wesson 1911 will shoot as accurate as a Wilson and the fit and finish is equal to a Wilson, so is reliability. Believe Me, if I had the money to spend, I would buy a Wilson Supergrade in a second! And I would have it made to what I want it to be! One thing I really like with Dan Wesson is No Billboard on the slides, and no front serrations! Clean and Sleek!

Great shootin. I agree dan Wesson is a good 1911 value. My friend has an Ed brown and bought a couple of dan wesssons and they were just as accurate in our hands.
