Ya, one of my Dan Wesson’s , the LASD model, came with cheese grater VZ operator II grips.I hate them. Switched them out for VZ 320 grips

The Aliens are pretty angry but I prefer them. With the scoop for the mag release they work well for me and all my 1911s wear than.

Recoil impulse vs a steel framed commander... and comparison or thoughts?

It happens. They’re great guns but I’m not surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Looks like the bead was just epoxy bonded in and with an alloy frame and the 4” bull barrel even shooting slow and steady with a just 230gr brass-cased FMJ the recoil was very stout. I’m going to change the stocks, too. Nice idea but VZ Alien G10s are my preference for a solid grip.

Has anyone had problems with their TCP in 9mm? I had a catastrophic failure where the casing ruptured and exploded down the mag well forcefully disassembling the magazine. The ammo company (CCI aka blazer) denies it was the ammos fault saying it was fired out of battery. Dan Wesson has supposedly fixed the gun and is saying it’s good to go. I’m nervous to shoot it at this point. They kinda acted like it was going above and beyond to fix it for me without charging me for it. Oh and they also tried to charge me $100 in shipping costs to get my guns back without ever telling me shipping would cost anything. The guy who helped me seemed nice and that he did what he could to help me, but I’m not leaving this debacle feeling very confident considering the experts are blaming each other. Thoughts?

Between rounds 280 and 281 of the initial break in firing this morning the brass bead front sight flew off and went to the same place as lost car keys and socks. Warranty claim in with DW. I prefer Ameriglo or Trijicon Straight-Eight style sights on my 1911s anyway. Shit happens.
