I have a couple of questions regarding Dan Wesson handguns, particularly their 1911s. I’ve been lusting after a Dan Wesson 10mm, 1911 Commander size bobtail since I seen a picture of one about a year ago. In fact, I think I saw that picture on THR. But so far, I haven’t seen one for real.
Last night I went to the Dan Wesson website and looked up the Dan Wesson dealers in our area – two in Pocatello, about 30 miles north of here, and one in Logan, Utah, about 80 miles south of here. We visited all three dealers today and not a darn one of them was even aware that they sold Dan Wesson handguns. But after checking their catalogs, each of those dealers, sounding kind of surprised, told me they could order a Dan Wesson 1911 if I really wanted one. What do you folks think is up with that?
Secondly, I’m asking for opinions about Dan Wesson 1911s, particularly the Commander sized bobtails, from people who actually have them. How do you like them? Are they reliable? How’s their accuracy? I’ve read about Dan Wesson 1911s in a few gun magazines, but I take what professional gun writers say about guns they’re evaluating with a grain of salt. I’d much rather hear from people who had to lay out their hard-earned money for the guns.
Thanks in advance.
