At the time I came over from the big forum, in the first wave, I owned a DW Patriot Marksman Stainless.
and Pig tell me I am one of the founding members but I don't have that neat Icon with my name. Since I came over I purchased a stainless CBOB from Bob, with a custom serial number since the advertised pistol was sold twice. I had fairly significant issues with the external extractor pistol that after some cuss fights, after Bob left, a few hundred dollars of fedex and exchanges of cash the mother ship finally broke down and fitted an internal extractor slide. Pistol runs great now. In fact it is on my hip now in an Alessi CQC/S Have added a couple other 1911s to the mix in the intervening years a high end Fusion Bobtail for my 50th, a Stainless Combat Commander that was a steal with a bad plunger tube stake job. Love my DWs right now. Just a rocky road to get here.
