Sight picture and shot of trimmed down safety. Can't believe I missed the lint in the wipe down
I love the dehorn they did and the smooth face trigger feels amazing. A look at the undercut trigger guard also.
Every 1911 I've ever owned had a little wiggle in the slide/frame fit and such but this thing is solid and glides so smooth. Big thanks to Keith at Dan Wesson!
The housemate and I put 300 rounds through it today, 150 Fiocchi followed by 150 Blazer Brass. This thing is insanely accurate and runs like a freaking top.
The last 1911 I shot was the production DW CCO worked over by SACS and I was surprised by how different it felt. I prefer how this one new shoots over any 1911 I've ever fired, including full-size versions. I imagine it's a combination of the size, steel frame, DW's craftsmanship, and the flat-wire recoil spring.
The result of today's blasting
After break-in I'll be sending it to a smith to do a couple things DW couldn't, like checkering under the trigger guard and French borders. It'll eventually get a yet to be decided finish as well.
