Dan Wesson has earned a reputation for building some of the finest production 1911 pistols and revolvers available. In this video, we get a first look at the latest additions to the Dan Wesson lineup and break down what's new in terms of models, calibers, and configurations.
Dan Wesson occupies a unique space in the market — premium fit and finish with hand-fitted components, but at a price point below full custom shops. Their 1911 pistols are favorites among competitive shooters and serious enthusiasts who want match-grade performance without the 6-month wait and $4,000+ price tag of a fully custom build.
Whether you're already a Dan Wesson owner or considering your first premium 1911, watch the full video above for the latest product announcements and our initial impressions from the show floor.
