I took it to the range a couple hours after I picked it up and ran 160 flawless rounds thru it.

Measured trigger pull was a crisp 4.5 lbs.

Shot these 4 at 7 yds before I left to round it off to an even 160 rds.

Beautiful! I did not know DW did custom builds. Really reasonable wait time. this has opened my eyes.... not sure that is a good thing. :)

Very very nice pistola, you really put a lot of thought into what you wanted and DW delivered 10x. Enjoy sir.

Very nice congrats. Not a huge fan of two tone but that is a great looking pistol

Thanks fella's!

I contacted VZ about getting those same grips cut to cover the MSH pins and they said they don't offer that with Bawidamann series grips. Anybody know why? Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.
