This is probably my favorite 1911 in my stable.

Sweet!!  When the heck did DW get in the 1911 business?

I really would like to have one of those!  I tried to buy one a guy was selling a while back but I missed out on it.

Do you carry it as a CCW?

Dan Wesson has been making 1911's since 2000. They started with the Pointman, and have several models available now.They are kinda hard to find, from what I have been told, they only produce around 2500 pistols a year. Due to their popularity and scarcity, the price has gone up considerably. I bought mine used 2 years ago for $700, now they are going for $900-$1000.

The quality is superb, I would even say higher than my Colts or Springfields 1911's.

If you do get a chance to get one at a decent price, I suggest you jump on it, or at least tell me where it's at.  ;D

Nope. I carry a Kel-Tec PF9 in the summer time and in the winter,  I carry one of these Hi-Powers or my Colt XSE Commander. See below -

I have a fondness for High Powers and 1911's. Your pushing all the right buttons with me :)

I have 4 Hi-Powers, and still want to get at least 2 more, a Browning Mk 3 and a Practical.

I have 8 1911's at the moment, but will add more when I find one I "need".
