For those that own(ed) a Specialist what are your experiences? Any issues with the rail (do some lights/laser brands fit better than others)? Stainless or duty black and why?
Initially I was considering commander size in stainless. Size due to CCW and stainless due to price differences (ie. cheaper). I've since rethought the previous details and am now leaning toward full size in duty black. The reason I re-thunk size for ccw is; it isn't the slide length, it's the grip that is the concealability factor. Also for me personally I shoot full size 1911's better (accuracy). As far as duty black cost factor. Well, if I'm fantasizing about owning a Dan Wesson Specialist price is no object and I like the look better.
I've owned 2 other railed FS 1911's by other manufacturers and wasn't satisfied for, well, my reasons. They both went bang every time I pulled the trigger with no malfunctions. They just no longer reside in my personal arsenal.
I like what I've read about DW 1911's and would like to own one and shoot one, a lot.
cheers.
