This gun is so nice, I had to start a new thread after the one titled "My 2nd 1911" .
I decided rather than going for a budget 1911, I would get a nice 45. Granted the Dan Wesson Heritage isn't as fancy as the Valor or some of the others....internally it is the same and accuracy wise identical to the more expensive models (according to Dan Wesson inc.)
I bought it this morning on my way to my monthly IPSC match at my LGC for $1200. I traded in an old M&P 40 full sized that I didn't shoot anymore to soften the blow a little and allow me to get some wood G10 grips which I like better than the black ones.
So, I decided to use it in the matches entering 2 different guns, a ruger sr1911 10mm and the DW heritage 45. I was shocked at how smooth and easy shooting and accurate the DW was!!! During warmups I was putting 8 rounds of cheap ball ammo into 1 hole at 15 yards!!!
The weakhand unsupported shooting was easy and I was super fast with the DW because of how smooth and accurate it is.....this was especially nice during the double tap runs and the long range headshots.
Everything about this gun is better than my skill level is right now.
So far everything about it is spectacular, and time will tell on longevity. I also intend to carry it when I carry a full sized gun.
