How is this pistol different: Dan Wesson

[Monadh]

I also do not want to start an argument, but I can speak to my own experience.

I am no company's fan boy. I have had any number of Colts. I own the only Kimber ever made that is dang near perfect. I have fired several Wilsons belonging to others at the range. I have handled Nighthawks and Baers but never had the privilege of shooting one. My DWs have been a Heritage and a Valor. Both have been exceptional in quality, build, and accuracy. To say I would rate them as better crafted than all I have ever seen with the exception of one particular Nighthawk is me simply giving my experience. I would like to own a Baer, but it would not be due to any insufficiency I have found in my Valor. I just want a Baer.

Others may buy a pistol from the semi-custom manufacturers and believe they have bought something far superior to anything Dan Wesson makes. I say good for them, but I would also disagree that there is that much of a quality difference in build or function to justify spending the extra money. Dan Wesson makes an excellent 1911.

I bought my black duty finish Vbob after researching a lot. I bought with carry in mind. I bought my Les Baer PII Tactical in blue because I wanted it. As for accuracy the Baer is more accurate probably because it is full size. I've been talking to my LGS about one of the SS Ed Browns they ordered at Shot Show again just because. The fit and finish is excellent on both guns and I hope the Brown will be a notch above both. BTW I paid $70 more for the DW than the Baer. Ron
