Dan Wesson or Kimber

[discoed]

Kimber, I've had mine for 8 years and not a single problem.

[KTM RICK]

Please. Dan Wesson hands down

[TacticalSpork]

Ok genius, how do you know what I own??? You been in my house and looked in my safe???

Way to make an ASSumption there buddy!

FTW:
You have a Kimber.
You don't have a Dan Wesson.
Dan Wesson is not on the Roster.
Kimber is on the Roster:



He owns both a Kimber and Dan Wesson, stop being condescending, that's not nice.

I think you guys are reading his comment wrong. the way I read it is that he is referring to the OP who already has a Kimber, and doesn't have a DW yet. and he's saying that he should get the Dan Wesson while he can still SSE it since the Kimber is on Roster.

I think he is saying For The Win to Skosh69's comment: Get the DW now and the Raptor next year.

which means he agrees with your comment and is indicating that it's the answer. again, that's just the way I read it and I could be wrong


Either way, I'm jealous of all your guys' cool toys

Thanks to this thread I bought a Black Valor today to go with my 70's series stainless Kimber. I need to stay off CN in the future.

If they are the same price, then the DW is a no-brainer. I did see Palmetto State had a Raptor for $929 (don't remember which model), and for $300-500 less, it could be worth considering.

I have the Specialist and it is definitely worth the money. I also have a couple Kimbers and think they are great guns at the $1k price point - but they can't hang if comparing to guns at the $1500+ price point.

I agree. I have 3 Kimbers and all run well but I always had that $1,000 target limit. I always wanted a DW but it was an extra $500. Some day

[TripleThreat]

I have a 70's series Kimber, and I'd say DW due to pier pressure alone. However, the my Kimber runs great.

Because of this stupid as thread, I now have a DW Valor (xmas present to myself). I have yet to shoot it, but I hope Calgunners will refrain from posts like this in the future, I'm trying to stay married.

FWIW, I'll be doing a RIA vs Kimber vs Valor shoot-off on Monday, I will post results and a few photos and place a link here.

Thanks! At least one person can read a comment and not believe the world turns around them.

(We'll just leave the rest of the vitriolic, condescending ASSumptions made by DArBad and Skosh69, as part of their incisive legacy).

Happy Holidays.

Dude, Dan Wesson wth!

[1crazy4x4]

I just wanted to update this and say the Dan Wesson is a nice gun but I sent it back for a tune up! I will say the company picked up the shipping and says they will make it right. But I'm not real happy . It looks like they didn't finished the reed ramp and it would not chamber a round with the magazine fully loaded ! So in life nothing is perfect but is shoots nice and feels nice and tight. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be a 10 !

[sjg1966]

I'm new to 1911s but from what I've read....Dan Wesson.

[davidb]

Wow yeah that feed ramp looks pretty uneven and I'd be unhappy with that, but I'm not positive that's what's causing the feed issue as it looks pretty good where the bullet actually feeds higher up on the ramp

Did you try multiple kinds of mags? Some mags just don't work in some 1911's

Could also be that the mags spring just needs to be broken in

[1crazy4x4]

Yes I tested 3 different kinds of ammo and 3 magazines. It's back at the factory and I'm stuck shooting my Kimber until it comes back LOL !
