Timothy - I own several Dan Wesson 1911s, but not this particular model. I can honestly say I have never owned another production pistol that has been as meticulously fitted and finished as a Dan Wesson. I have never had a single issue with any I have owned - but I know for a fact their customer service is some f the very best in the business and they do all they can to take care of you should any issue arise. I think you will be happy you purchased a Dan Wesson, and proud to show it off to your friends. Wessons' "Duty Black" finish puts to shame other manufacturers finishes, and Dan Wessons parts are hand fitted. These are the most 1911 one can get for their money, in my opinion, and while I have experienced some of the 'semi-custom' pistols costing 3 even 4 times s much, my Dan Wessons are the ones I know I can depend on if I ever need a firearm to defend myself or save a life. I don't think you would ever be sorry you purchased a Dan Wesson.

Dan Wesson and STI guns are some of the best 1911 guns made Unless you get to the true Custom 1911 at 2-3 times the price If you do have a issue DW will do whatever it takes to resolve it

Timothy, Dan Wesson is "Top Tier" in fit and function. This is not to say things don't happen so take solace in the fact that Dan Wesson also has "Top Tier" Service and Support. It's not always the product but, the after service that makes a good purchase value - and this is definitely one in this scenario.
