Default My First DW - RZ10 10mm

So, the big day finally arrived, the stork just delivered my new (well new to me) Dan Wesson RZ-10 in stainless; has standard front bead and adjustable rear sights. It came with the case, original magazine and 2 after market ones. It is both my first Dan Wesson and my first 10mm.

Unsure how to determine its age - I do know it is pre CZ merger - the serial number is 146.

The grips are black, and appear to be Hogue Grips - I can't believe that is original issue is it?

Won't be able to shoot till later this week - any recommendations other than a good clean and lube first are certainly welcome.

Best,
USNMike

Congrats on the DW, only suggestion I have is find the ammo that functions properly in it and keep it, because I have a feeling shortly the prices will go up and such fine Guns will not be made any more.................

Okay - went to range with handfuls of scarce 10mm - what an amazing pistol!! Looks great (to me anyway) and as I suspected - shoots better than I do
