45 Auto +P and DW Commander

[Roverron]

I'd suggest contacting DW to see. Most 1911's don't play real nice with +P. My NH and my USP are +P rated and the paperwork states as such.

Dave, I shoot a lot of +P 45ACP through my RIA without any problems, your DW should be fine. For a long time I used Hornady TAP XTP 230gr.+Ps as my carry-load. They did 904fps ave(Chrono'd) in my five-inch Rock. Now, I carry Winchester Premium 230gr. SXTs in it, they do a flat 900fps.

I see no issue with it. I too asked this question awhile back but didn't receive much response. A phone call to dw and my Vbob now has a 20lb recoil spring. I received as a pay back 1000 rounds of win ranger t +p. I plan on using that as my carry ammo and have run about 250 rounds through my Vbob with no issues.
Like I said if you plan on shooting alot of it I would suggest upgrading to a 20lb recoil spring, Saves the slide and frame abuse caused by +p ammo.

I've never had a problem with +P in my DW's you should be fine. Mike

And I've never had a problem with +P in my Kimber.

Kicks hard, and bites, but the gun goes on and on and on and on.

Now I gotta dig up the paperwork and see what spring came with the CBOB. I thought it was a 20lb spring.

Dave,

If you call or email Keith Lawton you'll learn what you need to know and make a personal connection with The Man at Dan Wesson. Great guy and always happy to help.

On a personal note. What are the chances of your wife divorcing you and marrying me

+P ammo should work just fine in your DW but I really have to ask why?? 230 grain ball or JHP ammo will do what you need it to do and not put any un-necessary wear on your 1911.

+P will probably give you 100fps higher velocities so if you were going to carry +P ammo you also need to train with it. Price point is a bit more also.

IMHO there should be no issues shooting +P in your DW.

Thanks for the link up.

As to your personal note: We've been married for 47 years, which included 17 years of my 20 year military career. Whaddaya think your chances are? BTW, Slim just left town.
