I love DWs and have had a bunch of them and they have all been excellent especially the 10mms. I would not call them hand fitted though. Nice score, especially the Bruin
You guys that don't think they are hand built/fitted don't know what you're talking about.
They have pretty tight tolerances for the CNC produced parts and yes some are hand fitted if they dont happen to line up but as Dan Wesson will tell you, most do not have to be. So they are well built and have excellent machining to get them there but they are not hand fit in the manner of a custom gun which is what people think of when you say "hand fit"
The frame/ slide rails are intentionally machined undersize and they are hand filed and lapped to fit. All other parts are hand filed/ground/bent/tuned/polished to fit and function including barrel's, bushings, thumb safeties, grip safeties, extractors, triggers, disconnectors.. The sights/dovetails are hand filed and driven in by hand. A tremendous amount of hand work goes into each and every gun. I worked for Dan Wesson for years and built literally thousands of guns. I know damned good and well exactly how they're built and I know just as well there's a lot of bullshyt passed off about it both from inside and outside the company. Quality does vary a bit from pistol to pistol depending on the skill of the particular builder.
