Living In A Bizarro World
Let me start off by saying that I think certain guns should only be American-made (At least for me to buy one). I wouldn't buy a 1911, revolver, AR15, or AR10 unless they were made in America. I actually didn't buy (when they were legal) a Springfield M1A because it was made or the parts were made overseas (I think Taiwan). An M14 or M1 Garand should only be made stateside. I wouldn't buy a Springfield 1911, even though they are great 1911s, because many of the parts come from Brazil. That said, I have two XDs. I also love CZ handguns and Glocks.
So when Dan Wesson was acquired by CZ, I wrote them off. I bought a few Colt 1911s, a Nighthawk, and ordered a Wilson Combat. Then I did some more research and found out that Dan Wesson 1911s are still made 100% in America (If you count NY as America! Actually upstate NY is totally different from downstate) and all of their parts are American-made.
I just purchased a Dan Wesson Silverback (two tone) 45acp 1911 (it's being shipped now). It looks beautiful and it appears to have many of the extras that a Nighthawk and Wilson have, at less than half of the price.
To those of you with Dan Wesson's, what do you think of them? Most of the reviews that I read were very complimentary. They appear to have excellent quality control (something that Colt doesn't have even on their Custom Shop 1911s). Dan Wesson also seems to have a reputation as a very reliable 1911.
What say you?
