Gun Descriptions

Dan Wesson has combined the best features from two of their most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed. The alloy frame makes it light enough for comfortable full time carry. The Duty Black finished, Commander-length slide and alloy frame give it just the right feel and balance. If you are looking for a lightweight Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm, .38 Super or .45 ACP, don't pass up the Guardian.

The Valkyrie is a variation on the CCO (commander-length slide on an officer frame) This gun features all the latest upgrades to the CCO platform including our ECO frame with a recessed slide stop hole paired with ball cuts on the slides dust cover and carry cuts up front. Along with slim G10 grips, it utilizes the same sights and controls of the Dan Wesson ECO with the barrel and bushing of the Dan Wesson CCO. Specifications: Overall Length: 8" Additional Info: Ed Brown Parts Additional Info: Officer Frame Commander Slide Additional Info: Match Stainless Barrel
