New DW models for 2016
Not sure if y'all have seen these or not but here they are anyways. I'd love to get one of the 715 Pistol Packs!!!
The write ups are not mine, but copied from here:

From Dan Wesson there are a few things that caught my eye. First, nearly all of their 1911s are going to be available in 9mm for the sacrilegious. Except for this long-slide Bruin, which is made for 10mm but also available in .45. It’s Dan Wesson’s first long slide, and it sports a 6″ barrel.
Also available with bronze frame and black slide.
I’ve been twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the right 1911 to come along so I can add one back to my collection. I haven’t owned once since I sold my Springfield Pro (legit FBI HRT one w/ Nowlin barrel, etc) in 2012, and I’ve been waiting for something of high quality like the Valor I reviewed, but with a few more bells and whistles. DW’s Specialist came close, but I was holding out for a threaded barrel and suppressor sights. The Dan Wesson Discretion (it’s the better part of valor, right?) delivers
I’m not 100% sold on the aesthetics of the slide ports in these photos, but this is my next 1911 regardless. Now I just have to figure out if I’m going with .45 ACP like I should, or ordering one in 9mm because it’s less expensive to shoot and quieter when suppressed (given subsonic ammo). At any rate, a Discretion in one caliber or another is in the review queue for sure.
We saw this coming when the Dan Wesson 715 shipped in a case with reliefs for two more barrels, and for 2016 it’s official. The Dan Wesson “Pistol Pack” is back! In this case it’s the superb 715, in .357 Magnum, with a 4″, 6″, and 8″ barrel.
