California Classic
Hi Everyone & Happy Easter!!
It's been awhile since cruising these boards(since my new member intro)and thought that Id update everyone with a few pics of my first DW and my first impression of the gun so far without shooting it yet. So after picking it up I was so tempted to go straight to the range and sling led down the pipe. Instead I went home to have a closer look at my newest purchase. I was so excited to finally be able to take it home After doing some heavy research on custom 1911's I decided on a DW I knew to expect that the gun would be fitted tighter than most production 1911's. For a minute I had to wrestle with the barrel bushing and torque it with the supplied bushing wrench because it was so tight. I was pleased by it! Finally I get it loose and proceed to field strip the gun. Here it is naked The look, the fit, the feel & quality that other DW owners express is evident. I could not agree more!! I recently looked up a 1911 armorers class here in the Bay Area as I would like to learn how to do a full detailed strip on my own in the future. but I was unsuccessful in my search I guess youtube videos will have to do for now. Fresh out the box Beautiful!! After cleaning, lubing & reassembling I thought that Id try on a set of grips from Sarge. http://shop.thefinergrain.com/ He is absolutely great to deal with & does a outstanding job! See... The species on the left is Honduran Rosewood. I guess I visited Sarge's online shop on the right day The set on the right is Redwood Burl. Both sets display natural two tone. I love them both. Thanks Sarge. I hate to leave it at this (follow up range report coming soon) cross posted @1911forum Last edited by alvinSF49; 04-08-2012 at 05:03 PM. |
