Hi all. I just joined up here after purchasing my new to me Dan Wesson. I'm a long time handgunner, but I'm mostly a Sigaholic, this is my first DW, although not my first 1911.

I haven't yet received my new pistol, and I've been trying to learn more about it (I traded away one of my Sig 229's for it). Its a Dan Wesson PM3, but I can't find any info about that particular model on the DW site, or on here. The serial number is the initials and birthdate of the previous owner, is this a common thing with DW guns? Can you just request to have that done? The gun looks great in the pics I've seen, and it it shoots as well as I anticipate, I think it might become my new carry gun. I love the Sigs, but I just shoot 1911's a heck of a lot more accurately.

Anyway, thanks for having me here, I look forward to becoming a member of this community. Any advice, info or tips you have regarding the PM3.

DW will make the serial # what you specify (as long as it is unique). It sounds like you have an earlier Pointman. Sorry I do not have the specs on it. Some of our people may have info on it. If you should need a user's manual, you can get that directly from DW (in .PDF form) on their web site.

Congrats on you purchase and welcome to the club!
