I've had an irrational, dysfunctional love/hate relationship with 1911's during the last 40 years.  Just when I think I've gotten over it and can finally move-on, one always seems to come along that I can't live without.

I was at my LGS last week to look at a Zev Glock 17 Dragonfly.  I had to see for myself what a $1500 Glock really looked like.  Polymer guns never had much appeal until I shot a friend's Glock 17 a couple of years ago and since then I've added a Steyr, Walther PPQs in 9mm and .45 and currently have a deposit on an FN 509.  Yeah, I like 'em but I know not everyone does.  I didn't think any striker-fired pistol's trigger could come close to either a good 1911's or an older S&W revolver's but I was wrong.  To the skeptics I can only say: try a Walther PPQ.  It made me a believer.

But, the 1911 is sentimental to me.  It always will be.  It was the first pistol I learned how to shoot, field strip, maintain, and qualify with on an annual basis.  My first was a roached-out, Korean War vintage 1911A1 that my unit's armorer and I restored to its original glory.  I've probably gone thru a dozen or more since then but this is my first Dan Wesson.

I'll let you know how it shoots after I bring it home next week.

He hasn't been on the forum since DEC 2017....  slightly old resurrection of a post.
