Good Morning All,

I am bunny, and just picked up my first 1911, it happens to be a Dan Wesson.  I have many other side arms however they are all Sigs or wheel guns; so this is my first experience with the famous 1911 (or any SAO firearm.)  I have been putting in the hours at work this week and the snow does not help but I hope to get to the range on Sunday.  I look forward to reading the wealth of knowledge on this site, my first stop will be to research break in procedure; my slide is so tight out of the box it is hard to rack.

Regards,

-d

David, Welcome!

We have lot's of 1911 guys joining lately, my advice first and foremost is to follow EXACTLY the instructions from DW on break in and lubrication. Before shooting, I would lube (not grease) liberally and rack and dry fire.

Here are the DWF "Rules":

1) post-pics

2) Have Fun shooting your new Dan Wesson

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Damn right good Buddy!

I have not had a chance to go to the range yet, but I am looking forward, it is a very sleek feeling weapon.

excellent tag line Sir, I add a paper bag (to boil water for coffee, if I get stranded somewhere) to my kit, otherwise you have it covered my friend.

Wow, that bad boy looks plain lethal. I really like the trigger. Thanks for sharing.

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?
