CZ-USA had many requests to produce a Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm. In response, they've revived one of the early Dan Wesson 1911 models with a twist…
They have combined the best features from two of our most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The new Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed and make it comfortable enough for full-time carry. The Duty Black finished Commander-length slide and alloy frame give it just the right feel and balance. If you are looking for a lightweight Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm, .38 Super or .45 ACP, don’t pass up the Guardian.

Great gun. Have used many 1911s. The Dan Wesson Guardian is flawless in my opinion and extremely accurate. Best 1911 this side of a custom gun, and you have to pay a ton more to get anything beyond the Guardian.

Great service from Bud's. The Dan Wesson Guardian is a beautiful gun.500 rounds⁸⅘ and no problems. Good shooter and trigger.

Just recently received this item. It is the first 1911 I have owned, though I had a great deal of experience using .45’s during my military career spanning the 1960’s to the 1990’s. I have not had this Dan Wesson to the range yet, but the build quality and fit & finish is stellar. I’m confident this will become my daily carry piece once break-in is complete and my custom ordered shoulder rig arrives. More than satisfied with my purchase.

Sweet,
I feel safe with this in my hand. LOL
Could carry concealed if I wanted, matched with a Alien Gear Cloak tuck 3.5 IWB holster.

Very nice high quality 1911. Gun is tight and nicely finished. The crowned barrel and barrel bushing is a nice touch. Have put about 100 rounds through it and it shoots nice and accurate. The only thing that bothered me was that the slide stop is extended a little but straight out, so for me it scrapes the thumb of my support (left) hand. Most extended slide releases extend back and don't do this for me. Easy swap. Might just be me. I do think the quality is there and is one of my favorite.

I am a 1911 lover, I have two colts. One gold cup and one plain Govt model. I really like this Dan Wesson Guardian. I have not had a chance to fully run it througg a big day of shooting. But I love the fit, finish and feel. My first notice was how light it was in weight. I was a little concerned when i felt the weight that it may be difficult to keep from riding up in rapid fire shooting. But this was not the case at all. I loaded 4 mags and ran through all of them pretty fast at 15 yards and all rounds were in a 3” circle. I love the gun.

Out of the box I ran 250 rounds of 230 gt Geco ammo through it and 60 rounds of Honaday 185gr Hp without issue. Sights were dead on. Finish is excellent, this gun is the 1911 I’ve wanted for a longtime I donot need a custom model now that I have the Dan Wesson.

I purchased the Guardian in 45 ACP with the intent of making it into my primary carry gun as a replacement for my Colt LW Commander in 38 Super. The bobtail modification helps with comfort and concealment, and the lightweight alloy frame makes all day IWB carry more pleasant than with an all steel model. With full power defense loads, it does have noticeably more recoil, but it's easily controlled and quick to realign for follow up shots. The front strap checkering is aggressive enough for a good grip, but not so much it will chew up your hands or clothes. Trigger is smooth and crisp, reset is very quick, slide fit and barrel lock up are excellent. I also own a Valor VBOB, the fit and finish are almost identical. The duty finish is holding up well so far, and 300+/- rounds to date down range with no malfunctions. It feeds hollow points and flat-nose rounds just as well as it does ball ammo, smooth and clean. The ramped barrel is a nice touch, no worries about hollow points gouging the alloy frame. It's a high quality, accurate, well made firearm for much less than a Brown, Wilso, or Nighthawk. Great value for the money!

Received my Guardian in 45 ACP the other day. Put 200 rounds through it today at an indoor range. I used the two Dan Wesson mags that came with it, plus three Wilson Combat 8 rnd mags. I used inexpensive aluminum cased Federal ammo. Had the target set at 20 feet to start. The first two rounds made one hole at the point of aim. I was impressed and very happy. In 200 rounds, not a single malfunction. I shot at various distances out to 75 feet, and if I did my job the groups were fantastic. The only issue was that none of the Wilson mags would lock the slide back after the last round. These same mags operate the slide lock fine in a Kimber Custom Target.
