    Thanks, I was very impressed considering how tightly this pistol is fit, I was expecting a few problems during break in but in over 250 rounds there was only 1 FTRB at round number 87 and a couple drops of oil on the slide and barrel took care of the issue. I was shooting 125 gr.FMJ and a variety of lead reloads that consisted of 105 grain SWC and 125 gr.TC without another bobble at all . I will run another 300 or 400 rounds through it before I start to use it for a CCW piece. The trigger breaks a 4 1/2 pounds and the straight 8 night sights are yellow in the rear and green up front. It came with 2 metalform mags that functioned perfectly as well.
    That's really good news. As I'm sure you know, the reliability of these guns was heavily criticized in the early production run. Your experience suggests that these issues have been addressed--and hopefully resolved permanently.

    All the best!

      If any of you are wondering what to get me for Christmas, this will fit the bill.....

      DW Razorback 10MM

      Nice purchase SG. Every DW 1911 I've ever handled was "tightly fit". To my eye they are very well made for production 1911s. I've come close to purchasing one several times. I know that one of these days I won't be able to suppress the voices in my head.

        I'd return that 9mm.

        They forgot to put a barrel bushing in place.

          You have to get the premium version to get the barrel bushing.

          Probably still good for 3 or 400 rounds before it's worn out.

          Funny thing Glockrocker, that's exactly what I had down for you on my Christmas list. Is that absolutely amazing or what?

          What are the odds.

          I kind of blew it on my Cbob. First one I saw was at a gun show and it was only like 750 bucks. It was used but perfect and I wanted it but of course didn't have 750 bucks.

          I was gonna make it happen the next month but somebody wisely bought it. It was right about that time they came out with the Vbob which was twice the money but many said not as good.

          Well that created an emergency on my part. So the search was on. I found one in North Carolina but the Vbob drove the price of the Cbob up double nearly over night. I paid for my sins of leaving that first one on the table.

          But I do love mine, worth every penny in my book but would of been even nicer at half the cost too. Go figure.

            Dear Bawanna Claus,
            Thanks so much for putting that DW 10MM on your Christmas list. I know that a 1911 in any any caliber other than .45 ACP is considered blasphemy by many, but I've recently started a love affair with the 10MM and would really like a 10MM 1911 for a companion to my G20. I've been really, really good this year (kept my Kahrs cleaned, lubed, and well fed, and haven't started any major arguments on the forum), so if you could see your way to include a set of those Bawanna custom grips and maybe some ammo, that would be great!
            Thanks
            GR

              What's wrong with an Springfield Armory EMP for about $600 less? I know, it ain't a Dan Wesson.

                Your just like my wife, more, more, more.

                I will have to upgrade my list, I had you down for a 45 but I can easily change that to 10MM. No worries.

                Grips, not a problem. Saber Tooth tiger thigh bone too flashy?

                And ammo, I'll see what I can do about the ammo thing.

                      Hey muggsy, I had a EMP 9mm for 4 plus years and it is a good pistol. My complaints with it was too many sharp edges on the slide , and I do not like ambi safetys , and I realized that I prefer the officer sized grip frame more than the EMP's size which is it's own critter altogether. And the biggest reason is I really like my Dan Wesson's

                        Yeah and bawanna don't know nobody with the EMP size so grips for that ain't happening.

                        Officer size no problemo although certainly not needed on this one, already gorgeous.
