Looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see how long the transfer takes.

Oops…missed your post—sorry! That should be a great pistol!

So, where would you draw the line cost wise ? At what repair estimate would you avail yourself of the warranty ?

Can't answer that because none of my ARs or 1911s have any serious problems that needs warranty...

Fantastic choice—enjoy!

1911s are DIY kinda guns. Any warranty work will take ages[/QUOTE

WHAT OTHER GUN THAT IS NOT DIY ....LOL

EXCELLENT CHOICE OP, WELCOME TO DW CLUB.. DAN SPECIALIST 9MM ( own one)

Great choice! For the original question of TRP vs Specialist, DW is in a different league then the TRP. The TRP is an off the rack gun with minor upgrades. The Specialist is still a production gun, but its fit, finish, and features for the price give it the custom gun feeling. Guys in the US give the TRP more credit due to Springfields lifetime warranty.

Nice update! I saw the LASD listed and thought you might not have liked it—they make a great pair!

Looking for a bit of advice here.

Both options in .45

Quality and reliability a toss up ?

Which one is easier/better for possible warranty issues in Canada?

Both are within 200.00 of each other with the TRP coming in at 200.00 more than the Dan Wesson.



Can’t afford both

** update**. Went with the Dan Wesson Specialist with the Black Duty finish

** update June 29th** decided to get two. I was going to sell the LASD and just get the Valor…..but couldn’t bring myself to sell it. Here are the boys ……home at last. For the life of me…..I have no idea how to straighten the pictures ��

Yes, it was a lot of money, but I’m happy to have both.

Less is more, except when it comes to guns and ammo! Dan Wessons are hard to come by!
