That’s a pretty darn cool but I was specifically looking at 9mm 1911s.

I was looking a CZ TS2 locally too but ruled it out because I wanted a “nicer” 9mm 1911 right now. I still might grab it if I sell some other stuff. I really liked it.

I’ve got some less common 9mm pistols already.
For example: a couple of HK P7M8s, SIG P210, S&W 3906/CS9D/3953.

I just picked up this Firehawk. I tried it out last week. Definitely one of my best shooting 1911’s.

That’s really nice.

I have a Kimber ultra cdp in 9mm. It's a little more expensive than some of the Kimber. It is as accurate as my Ed Brown 9mm. The Dan Wessons are very nice pistols as well.

That’s a neat looking pistol.

I believe you will really like that Dan Wesson.
I purchased a DW Pointman 9 some years back.
It is fit extremely tight and I expected malfunctions, but haven't experienced any.
Run it wet with plenty of oil.
Being they like to be run wet, I don't like wood grips as they always soak up oil.
I've switched to some VZ G-10 grips, but don't have a picture with them installed.
I've posted photos of the Pointman 9 before on this Forum, but here are several again.

I originally had a similar decision: I passed on a Kimber Royal and eventually purchased a DW Valor in blue. I’m over 7K rnds with absolutely zero gun-related malfunctions. I also have a Colt Wiley Clapp Government to compare it to. The fit and finish are much more refined on the Valor but the reliability is even.

Does either the Colt or Dan Wesson shoot noticeably better than the other?

I added some VZ palm swell grips. These are really comfortable. I'm very anxious to shoot it.

I love my Dan Wesson Valor, totally reliable, it’s also a 9mm.

I had a 1911 9mm phase a few years ago.
SA EMP, Kimber Ultra CDP II, RIA, and Dan Wesson.
Out of these, my favorite was my Dan Wesson Guardian.
Probably the most accurate handgun I ever owned.

Nice looking gun.
Dan Wesson knows how to build a fine pistol, no doubt about it.

A better photo of the BUL commander, a fine pistol in its own right.
