Picked up the PTE-S today (DW #4) ... Only in America can you buy a firearm of this quality that was built 14 years ago and has been out of production for 8 or 9 years for $800! But I do have an issue with it. I am not a big fan of the two piece FLGR. Can anyone give me a good reason NOT to replace the FLGR with a normal GR and plug?

Yes Guys and Gals ... I have included pics.

A steal at the price.! Good find! How is its condition? Pics don't always tell the whole story....has it been shot much?

Nicely done. It is nice see only a few of these old DW's getting the respect they deserve.

Very nice, it may be older but I bet you can't wear it out. FLGR I have both no big deal to me. The only problem I have with them is they are a PIA! " IF it needed one, JMB would have put one in it"

It has obviously been shot ... but it does not appear to have been worked very hard. If I were to rate it I would give it a 94-95% The grips are excellent, there are two small blemishes at the rear of the slide (left side), trigger is very nice, crisp with no creep at all. Talk about a win/win ... the dealer got his asking price and I got a smoking good deal. I don't think the dealer really knew what he had, he wasn't very familiar with DW 1991s.

What pig said. The 2 piece guide rod doesn't really do anything for you in My Opinion.
That's a Beauty, for what you paid, you stole it. :)

Nice....I am not a fan of FLGR's...I don't like the look of the "hole" in the front end. JMB designed it with a GI rod and plug for a reason.

Another example of just how unfair it is in America today. You have FOUR and I don't even have one...:slap:


Nice pick up.. Best of luck with it.
