I got my mitts on one a week or two back at a LGS.
It feels awesome, all around. Pricey...yes...but you only live once.
I hope it shoots like a laser for you.

I acquired a Classic Commander in August of last year and have really enjoyed it.

I’ve had my eye on one of those. Look forward to your range report.

Sure the father isn’t a High Point?

I sure love my 2 or 3 DWs, especially my ECO, but

Early morning on the range... two of my shooting buddies with me.
200 rounds of Armscor 115 fmj with two fail to feed malfunctions in one 5 round string while one of my friends was behind the trigger. He has arthritis and is known to limp wrist, so that was likely the issue. 198 rounds not a single hickup.

The DWXc was a bit snappier to shoot than I anticipated, but I am used to shooting my own 140gr cast bullets loaded lightly in my Shadow 2 or a full size 1911. The 4 pound trigger has smooth pre-travel to a well defined wall, crisp break, very little over travel, and a short reset that is tactile and audible.

The big green dot front sight is acceptable for self defense purposes, but I like a smaller more defined front sight for range fun. But she performed well.

10 shots at 21' and firing about as quick as I could regain the front sight. Not magdump fast, but faster than most indoor R O's would be happy with.

Out to 50 yards, I was hitting a torso size plate 80%.

Overall, I like it for sure, but I need to run a few hundred more rounds down range and report back.
