The Specialist is here
Hi All,
I've been on a quest to find a SA TRP operator half rail for a while, but it seems life never turns out the exact way I (or anyone) want it. In failing of my quest, I came across a Dan Wesson Specialist (well, my prior knowledge about Dan Wesson in general was very limited), and I hesitated on the purchase even after some research on Dan Wesson, the Specialist, the Valor, etc. In the end, I couldn't resist since I always wanted a nicer 1911 (nicer as semi-custom, good fit and finish).
When I started the paper work about 2 weeks ago, I was really impressed about how the gun handles (well, it's 1911 after all
), and how good the trigger is. Fit and finish is surperb to me due to lack of experience with high end 1911 (I guess ignorance is a bliss after all 
).
Here are some pictures I took after I pick up from my FFL (for you gun porn lovers). Now, I need to get back striping this baby and give a good clean/lube.

PS. I reckon more pictures and range report to come, since I have not seen a lot of thread on the Dan Wesson Specialist. To be continued...
Unboxing, just opening up the box (not as impressive as the SA package, but I have to buy better holster anyways)
Here is the Specialist
That barrel bushing is a pain in the rear to removal, and the wrench is absolutely necessary as I heard from the net.
Slide release was tight, but I manage not to scratch the frame (woohoo
)
