Dan Wesson is without a doubt the best production 1911 made today. Others may have the prestige of their name stamped on the gun, but DW quietly produces an entire line 1911’s that can only be surpassed by true custom guns.
Specifically, what makes the Dan Wesson 1911 pistols better than any others? If you would address the accuracy (at least 25 yards), reliability, internal components, trigger job, sights, fit and finish of the frame and slide, I'd appreciate it.Right on my brother, and they only make about 7000 guns per year. How many do the other big name make per MONTH? It's probably more than that.
Military 1911s are loose because one of the requirements was that all parts had to be completely interchangeable, across all manufacturers and their equipment.
A bucket of parts from X pistols, could be reassembled into X working pistols, without regard to who made the individual parts.
Without that requirement, can anyone here say that was really JMB's intent? Looking at his other designs, which are still in use today and are not designed to be loose, I have my doubts.
My Rock River is tight, needed no breakin period, shoots under 3" at 50 yds with hardball ammo according to the test target, and has never malfunctioned even after over 1000 rounds between cleaning.

They are priced right considering what you get and what other 1911 manufacturers offer in the same price range. And most of their guns are beautiful. Not over done and over hyped like others.
