From my point of view:

My first DW was/is the CCO. .45 cal, 4.25" barrel, 6 or 7 +1 (kimber mag is 7)

Second is the DW Patriot. Special edition from around 2003. 5". .45 cal. full size, don't even try to carry it. All stainless, top to the bottom.

Third and fourth: (and my personal favorites) 9mm Dan Wesson Guardians. I have one in 9mm that I purchased. My wife shot it and said "I like this, I want this, thank you for buying it for me." Three weeks later I purchased the same pistol in 38 Super (because I always wanted a 38 super). 4.25" barrels, superb triggers, very very accurate.

Those are my four, all are incredibly well made. I haven't seen the latest and greatest, but the name alone says "NO MIM" All tool steel. I like that.
