    Hello! Im new on here and just bought this Pistol! I bought it for my wife, we're still seeing if it's going to be too much gun for her. If it is, I won't mind at all caring it myself.


    If anyone wants to chime in about this gun or their experiences with this gun I would love to know more about it. I've read about its performance and it gets very high reviews. I plan on throwing a few downrange with it in the next day or two.


    Anyway, thanks

    Welcome! I am not familiar with that model, but have heard nothing but good things about Dan Wesson firearms. The ones that I've looked at (Dan Wesson's) are very nice in fit and finish.

    Before someone else chimes in.......we like to see photos.

    Look forward to your range report.

    Terrible experience here. I shot 125 rounds yesterday with a 50% failure to return to battery it was extremely frustrating! Today I shot 200 more rounds after cleaning and oiling last night and it still failed to return to battery about five times per 100 rounds still not near where it needs to be. My friend and I took it back to the dealer to send back to dan Wesson today. Hopefully it will come back functioning 100%.

    In that case I think you did the right thing. That is not the performance I would expect with the glowing reviews I've heard about Dan Wesson.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Thanks! I am hoping it does the same thing with them, and they fix it.

    Sorry to hear about your issues. Let us know how the warranty service goes, I've heard nothing but good things about Dan Wesson and I'm a big CZ fan.
