Let's see... my first 1911 was a 3" micro compact from Springfield Arms. Second was a Sig GSR . Both in 45. I was fascinated with the platform, which I hadn't fired since my military time. I went on the "big forum" and started asking questions.
I stumbled onto the DW forum there, and saw a number of people who had "COTEP" under their tag line. I contacted an old guy named "Doc" aka "
", and the rest was history.
Now, the stable includes the original two, plus DW Patriot, DW CCO, a Guardian in 9mm (which my wife absconded with, but I do get to clean it) and a DW Guardian in 38 Super (shhhh... she still doesn't know about it. It looks exactly like hers, but its mine mine mine....)
