Picked up another Dan Wesson at Guns & Leather

[Kano]

The Dan Wesson CZ Heritage Bottom gun in the pic.

Guns & Leather had a new 2010 Heritage

.Slide to frame fit had no play

I like the sight set up and the trigger was very good .

I had 120 of my reloads with me and picked up a box of

Aguila Ammunition - 50 rds. 230 grain FMJ

120 Rounds Nosler 185 grain 4.2 Clays... My Reloads

50 rds.Aguila Ammunition 230 grain FMJ

No malfunctions

Don't like the Grips so I put a set of G 10's on it.

I may add a Ed Brown Maxi / Well.

After another 330 rounds with no problems I will

use it for carry.

The Valor & Heritage are well made 1911's.

Guns & Leather is a great place to shop and the indoor range

is one of the best around.... and the owners and staff are good

Fine looking 1911! Good addition with the grips too.

[Guest mac_05evo]

Good looking piece! I had it in my hands just the other day when I was up there.

[Magiccarpetrides]

nice looking cannon

[JeffsSig]

Sweet!

Always room for another DW.

May I ask the ballpark price on these?

[sigmtnman]

That's a sweet pistol. Congrats.

Is it a 2010? I am guessing it has to be looking at the serial.

I believe that one was somewhere around $1100.

A person always appreciates fine looking 1911's,a couple of nice ones there.

[Guest nashvegas]

Gorgeous...

Jonesing for a CBOB or VBOB myself.

[eapking]

Can't have too many DW's. Congrats.

I like the grips. How much difference is there in the fit/finish between the two models. I have a Herritage and love it.

[Guest razorblade]

Way to go Kano!!!!

[kb4ns]

Sweeeeet!!

[Guest cheez]

Very nice gun. How does it shoot?

[Guest Moody]

Outstanding firearm - I feel like a real f--king idiot for selling my DW a couple of months ago. They're just awesome, and the attention to detail is wonderful. That's a really good-looking gun, and I'm sure that it's a shooter, too.

I am not allowed to go into G&L anymore - I end up buying a gun every time that I set foot in there. I'm going to have to make it a point to leave my wallet at home, that way I'm not tempted. Great folks, knowledgeable, courteous, and a fine shop.

[SmokyBaer]

Have always heard great reports on the DW 1911s... I believe their prices went up to reflect their migration up to the next quality level. Bet before long they'll be putting cloverleafed 50 yard test targets in the box like Les Baer does.

Congrats on the acquisition, Kano. You done good!!

[R1100R]

Nice pistol. Be careful those DW's are infectious. I have two and one on order.

[Kano]

Thanks for all the nice words !!!!!!

[Kano]

Very nice gun. How does it shoot?

Only 1 range session and 170 rounds...

It is a nice shooting pistol and well worth the price...

[Kano]

Valor

Heinie Ledge tritium sights

FINISH: Matte Stainless

25 LPI checkering Front Strap

Better Back Strap

More hand fitting

The Heritage has a smooth front strap

Clark style target rib machined on the top of the slide.

It is a very well made 1911 and one of the best bang for your buck guns around.

But the Valor is just like a semi custom pistol you have to hold them to see and feel the difference.

That said the Heritage is also a keeper.

I like the grips. How much difference is there in the fit/finish between the two models. I have a Herritage and love it.

Sweet!

Always room for another DW.

May I ask the ballpark price on these?

[Kano]

Yes

That's a sweet pistol. Congrats.
