Default 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.

No preference on any except it has to be a .45.

I'm going to say buy a Valor. It has everything you would want in a 1911 and the price can't be beat.

Good luck deciding.

I recommend you enjoy it!

I would go with a CCO, I'm on my second one, to me they are just perfect. I hardly shoot my Valor, I just like the CCO so much better.
