I'd like to add a 1911 to my collection. I know 1911 is primarily a 45 gun but I reload 40 and don't want to reload 45. So I would like a 40 cal 1911. The SSC looks pretty nice but I can't find one. I've done the usual - gunbroker, armslist, web search with no luck. I have DW revolvers but no pistols.
Any one have any ideas where I might find a SSC and what current pricing would be?

These are hard to find, also on my want list, one sold recently on Gunbroker I think it was about 1500.00 which is bit much for me, I saw it the other day when I did history search on what Dan Wesson's sold for in the last 60 days.

Good Luck in your search.

I agree, because of the caliber, it may be a difficult search for a DW 1911. But don't give up, there's probably one out there with your name on it.wink I have found a couple "always wanted/long needed" DW's by biding my time...this one in particular. I waited 20+ years to land my 7445 VH8S...yeah, that's an excruciatingly long time. Life sorta got in the way in between. However, I had dreamed of this baby from the first day I read a magazine article on it.drool

You know what you gotta do now, right?

You can "shoot" it tonite and give us a peek, maybe?

 

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.

Took it to the range and shot 200 rounds through it.  It ran flawlessly - and that is with low power reloads.  Not fond of the mags though.  Would like 9 rounds mags.  I could Squeeze 9 rounds into  the mag but then it wouldn't go in the gun so these are 8 rounders.  Think I'll change the grips too.

Nice looking gun.  I agree on the grips, everyone I've seen looks like somebody used truck bed liner on them.  Get a nice set of VZ's or a custom wood set, would really make that gun look pretty. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
