Hello and good day!


A quick look and review of my new acquisition.

This is my second DW and the consistency of build quality and accuracy are evident.


Some specs to start with:

SKU 01894
MSRP $1,883.00
Magazine Capacity 10
Magazine Type Single Stack
Frame Black Duty
Grips Full-thickness G10
Sights Adjustable Tritium
Barrel Match












Trademark black case with vibrant blue lining.

I really like these G-10 grips...a nice mix of design, comfort, and esthetics.

The forged stainless frame has an undercut trigger guard and 25 LPI front and back strap checkering.
They call their finish Black Duty and with testimony across the web, it's just as or more tougher than Glock's tenifer.
I find the finish is gorgeous and consistent with no blotches.

Adjustable Tritium Target night sights with the rear glowing orange and the front glowing green for contrast.

Slide to frame fit is probably the tightest any semi/custom 1911 could be and the barrel to bushing and frame is at the closest tolerances without being crazy tight.

I must admit...this isn't as accurate as my Pointman 9 but we're talking .5" in differences........good enough for me!

I ran 100 rds without any issues at all.
A stellar gun with a moderate to high price tag that won't leave you with much buyers remorse.
Once you factor all the features you would normally get with a custom at about half the cost, it is quite the value.

And also, a big shout out to Clay at Prophet River for bringing in this for me.
