Default Guardian - best of both worlds

So I bought my first Dan Wesson (yes a Guardian) 3 years ago in 9mm - it is an amazing 1911 to shoot - everyone (including me) loves it. I began wanting one in 38 super, but could not find one anywhere in the midwest that they had priced reasonably.

Problem solved, called Dan Wesson and ordered a .38 super barrel and spring, four mags from Wilson Combat and wholah (sp), its now a 9mm by day and .38 super by night.

Neat solution!

Mike

Well. I did it. Traded my trusty Dan Wesson ECO with a dealer in Pa. for the Guardian. I have it and it is beautiful. No range time yet as I am out in Palm Springs desert outrunning Roadrunners (the birds) and trying not to step on a Rattlesnake. Got stranded on the Top of the Aerial Tram yesterday afternoon when the damn thing broke down. Not fun. My last tram ride. Ran ge report and pictures to follow. Oh, I couldn't swallow Baer even though I found a new 2015 model GT Monolith Stinger in 38 Super. I ain't looking back.
