Got the gun delivered to my local FFL. Which came in quick and hassle free (Thanks Buds!) as I was leary due to this being my first online purchase. The people at Buds walked me through the process and it was easy. Now on to the gun.
I opened the box and racked the slide. It was in fact tight and kinda had a few spots where it hung up. I was very nervous at this point. My Specialist was like glass right from unpacking, another Dan Wesson 1911 hence prompting my purchase of this gun. I read through the manual and it stated that you needed to run 300 to 400 rounds through it to shot it in. With intervals of proper cleaning and using specific oil. I opted for Wilson Combat Ultimate oil for all, except the slide rails with I used Wilson Combat universal (touch thicker and sticky). First range trip (100 or so rounds) this thing have several failure to battery issues. It was one every mag or two. Very frustrating! I emailed Dan Wesson that night. They were confident if I stuck with the break in it would be fine. I at this point was not sold on it. Second range trip another 100 or so rounds and the failures were less frequent, so it was getting better but far from earning my trust. Third trip was the charm 100 or so rounds later and more cleanings it performs like a champ. Cycles like it's on bearings and shooting the x rings out with the tightest groups I have ever been able to produce! It gobbles up all kinds of ammo and has not had any issues at all now. I trust this firearm completely now and it is my sidearm of choice! You get out what you put in, follow the directions and you will end up with a very nice firearm.
