Default Late the to party

I have a number of 1911s. Most of them are DW in both .45 and 10mm. They are some of the best of the best 1911s out there. I would take a DW over a Colt or Kimber any day of the week including Sunday.

The CZ Dan Wessons are, if anything, better than the pre-CZ Dan Wessons. The Heritage is an entry level DW, IMO, but does not, in any way, shirk on quality, fit or finish, it's just not an $1800 or $2000 Valor or Specialist.

The RZ was first a 10mm and took it's name from the rib on the top of the frame. When CZ started in with DW, they made the RZ-10 and then later a .45 version of the same design which is the Heritage.

I would recommend this gun to anyone who was ready to spend a little over a grand for a 1911. It's the best deal you could get.

Can't speak on this DW but I would not give up my Gold Cup for one. I have had Gold Cup for a couple of years and its a darn fine gun. Shoots straight and true and its a tack driver. DW are super nice though, not taking away from them. I sold my Mimber to get a Colt. You will not be sad to get a DW.......
