Default Dan Wesson Silverback 10mm

Found this on 1911forum. Word is February 2015 with an MSRP of $2095 which will put it in the same ballpark as the Valor and VBOBs with the duty treatment.



Here is a photo sans script.

If it shoots as well as I suspect based on my DW experience you bet. Do not have a 10.

Adj. rear sights.

OP, Cbob's are only $1650.

I like it except the funky looking trigger and adj sights. But that's just me.

I like any 10mm.....but I don't like two tone guns....but I bet its a sweet shooter though. I like the trigger, looks different. I would get one if I had the $$$ laying around.

Not sure what this means, but watching the street prices for Valors and VBOBs, not CBOBs, they are in the $1800+ range new. MSRP is in the $2000+ range at $2012 and $2077 respectively.

I suspect that with an MSRP of $2059, this one will sell for around the same.

My RZ has adjustable sights much like this one. The trigger doesn't seem to be much loved. The new SIG Super Target I have recently purchased has the same trigger and it's one of the features that seems to get the most negative comments.

I'm all in for a 10mm 1911. I have two, an RZ-10 and a CBOB. This one is more of a Valor quality 10mm 1911 which I like. If they made the Valor in 10mm as a regular offering, I'd go for that.

That's the point, it's not that different, BUT it's in 10mm which you can't get in a Valor except as custom.

I haven't seen a list of parts but I expect they are Valor quality.
