The Dan Wesson CCO is an officer's size (short) aluminum 70 series frame with a steel Commander size 4 1/4 inch slide. The finish and finish is outstanding. Even with the upper and lower being made of different materials you cannot see a color difference in the finish. Dan Wesson includes a barrel bushing wrench which is good because the fit is so tight you cannot remove it without the wrench. The sights are three dot night sights and it has a match grade barrel. According to Dan Wesson there are no metal injection molding parts installed in this gun. This 1911 has the traditional breakdown. The front strap and main spring housing has a "chain-link" treatment instead of checkering. I was a little concerned about the chain-link treatment but when I shot it I found it had plenty of purchase in the hand. This gun comes with two seven round Check-Mate Industries magazines. When I took the gun to the range I used the Check-Mate as well as two 8 round Springfield Armory magazines and the gun ran without a hiccup. I fired approximately 140 rounds of ball ammo and 10 rounds of Hornady 185 grain flex tip HP. Not one failure to feed or failure to extract. The slide locked back on every empty magazine. The gun ran perfectly. The point of aim is point of impact - the sights are dead on. This is my second 1911. The first being a Springfield Loaded Stainless. The quality and fit of the Dan Wesson is head and shoulders above the Springfield as I would expect it to be. If you are looking for a carry gun give the Dan Wesson CCO some serious consideration. If you purchase it, you will not be sorry.
