both great!
... but just... how do you see a target at 50'? Dang! At 45' I just point shoot the blurry thingy out there! Yes, I'm a newby. I shoot up to 25 yards only to adjust the group at 15 yards correcting errors, but just started the 25 yards less than a year ago and find extremely difficult if not impossible to aim.

bet it was a great day! I spent Father's day at the range also :D I deserved it too :D

Nice shootin'....... The name on the gun don't matter to me. I have barbecue guns and $300 Llama 9mm Largos from 1933....If the gun don't puke and is reasonably(combat) accurate at 20 yards and in.....I'm happy....And I do stop buying guns at the $2K price. I love Wilsons and Nighthawks, every time I fondle one in the gunstore they feel so good. Then I leave the store, split $1K into thirds and put it in my kids' bank accounts. That would be the "extra thousand" for the high end guns.

Just Because it is what I like!
All I am saying is this: Dan Wesson has been getting better & better. And IMHO reasonably priced for what you get. My "Test" just shows that a Dan Wesson 1911 will shoot as accurate as a Wilson and the fit and finish is equal to a Wilson, so is reliability. Believe Me, if I had the money to spend, I would buy a Wilson Supergrade in a second! And I would have it made to what I want it to be! One thing I really like with Dan Wesson is No Billboard on the slides, and no front serrations! Clean and Sleek! :D

I hear ya man, thanks for not taking my comment the wrong way. And you are 100% correct in the fact that you are getting a helluva gun for the price point when it comes to a DW.

And yes, the fact that DW slides come naked is a thing of beauty, "less is more"!
