I am a new member to this forum, having just acquired my first Dan Wesson. I wanted to get a report out sooner, but I put range time aside in order to attend the NRA convention in Nashville. (Great time, spent too much money, but that's a different topic for a different day.)
Anyway, I have only shot in an indoor range maybe 3 times in my life. A new range opened up near my home, and I always like to support family owned businesses, so I swung by the new range today to get some more rounds thru my ECO.
I only have around 150 rounds through this gun, so it is still in the break-in period. I am experiencing failures to return to battery, but the owner's manual says this is common and to be expected. And yes, I am running it wet, and clean and oil after every 50 rounds. (BTW, this gun is a piece of cake to disassemble and reassemble. This is coming from a female with a fair amount of arthritis in my hands!)
Allowing for the glitches during break-in, all in all I love this gun. As I said, I'm a female with weak hands and a bit of arthritis, but this gun is so smooth, recoil is a non-issue. I really like the Trijicon sights.
I have only really been shooting regularly for about 18 months, so this gun is a real confidence builder. Attached is one of my targets from tonight, from 10 yards. The rounds on the bottom resulted from me using a 6 o'clock hold. When i used a center hold I was pretty much on the money. The lone shot at 12:00 is classic case of this shooter "jumping the trigger".
Can't wait to get out and get some more rounds through this gun!

Looks like it handles real well. I'll be sure not to get on your bad side..

Nice shooting! Be sure to lube the gun often and run it wet during break in and it will get even better.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Very nice shooting indeed! Be interesting to see after you have put about 1000 rounds downrange. 
To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:
if you find one...what's your plan?
