PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

So what do you think?

I've been reading around on this forum for quite some time and decided to finally get a 1911. Everyone here seems to speak highly of the Dan Wessons so when I saw this one I decided place a bid on it and won!!
http://www.auctionarms.com/closed/d...ItemNum=7885213

While I have yet to shoot it, It looks even better in person than what the pictures show. Anyway I'm very excited and look forward to hearing what you guys think of it? Did a pay a fair price? Does anything look odd or customized on it? Is there anything I need to change on it? The shop that I had it shipped too said it is a very tight and well built with a very nice trigger pull when he inspected it. I get a feeling this wont be the only 1911 I'll be owning.

I think the value of that DW 1911 shows in your excitement and enthusiasm and that is all that really matters. Having never owned a DW 1911 (though I did own a very sweet DW revolver) I can't tell you if it's been customized. As far as changes go, shoot it first and lots before you start making changes. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Congrats!

Beautiful looking gun, sorry I did not see it myself. I think you will be happy with it as mine is very accurate and will feed anything from lead semi-wadcutters to hardball with no problems at all.

Great firearm.. Dan Wesson 1911's have been getting great reviews. I had a Dan Wesson revolver years back with inter-changable barrels. I remember the quality was outstanding. Good luck. Bob O
