A five year warranty? On a near 2K 1911? The Dan Wesson lineup is beautiful, for what they cost I will not tolerate a limited warranty. I wonder why they aren't in line with other gun manufacturers. Now I wonder what Baer, Ed Brown, even Nighthawk offer in warranty service.

[QUOTE=milkmanjoe;99640]From Browns website:

Do you have a written warranty on your products?

Yes, we have a lifetime warranty. If you ever need service on your Ed Brown firearm, we are here for you. It doesn't matter what the reason is, how old it is, or whether you are the original owner. We never look for reasons to turn away service calls...if you've got an Ed Brown firearm and you have a problem, we are here to help you.

In addition to the excellent service we offer, effective April 10, 2007, all Ed Brown firearms include a legal written limited lifetime warranty as well. We are the only high end 1911 manufacturer to our knowledge who offers a legal written lifetime warranty on firearms, which demonstrates the confidence we have in our product. Anyone can claim their service is the best (and most do), but to go a step further and put it in writing in a legal warranty is something that Ed Brown Products, Inc. does, and the others avoid.

Should I have bought a Brown? Lol. I guess the Baers & Browns have this issue too.

They all eventually point to stainless steel is a soft metal.

Question is what would Ed Brown do about the peening. They do have the warranty in place forever on the forearm, not even just the original owner.

I'm getting the feeling a good set of Arkansas stones are in the future of some 1911's.

Ya, interesting read on the link, thanks. Mine's not exhibited the problem. Did you see someone also mentioned the colts s/s not peening as I experienced with several colt s/s guns?

I find that very interesting. Thanks for the link

That's was me; no peening on any of my 1911's, including three with stainless slides.

I pulled out 4 stainless Dan Wessons and didn't find any peening on any of them.
