2010 Dan Wesson CCO 1911

New member of the family: 2010 Dan Wesson CCO. I've been searching for one of these for the past year. Couldn't find any 2009 anywhere. And on 9/10, a dealer emailed me. And now she's all mine.

Springfield Loaded Ultra Compact 1911

The fever for 1911's is getting worse. So I gave in and added this to the collection...it's a mini-me to the full-size 5-in barrel.

New Springfield Loaded Ultra Compact Stainless Steel:

From the factory, the slide and frame fit is tighter in tolerance when compared to the Mil-Spec. I really like the Trijicon night sights.

Parts already on order:

1. 10-8 flat trigger
2. Ed Brown rebuild kit with 19# mainspring
3. JB Bore compound to lap in the slide and frame to help with the break-in period.

Now I need to get a holster for it. It's going to be a hard decision since I really like the stainless on there and I don't know if I want to go with a Raven Phantom Kydex holster. Another thing is that Raven doesn't have a Phatom that will house a 3.5-in barrel. Might have to buy a Commander size Phantom and cut it down to fit the shorter barrel. The alternative would to spend the money on a Milt Sparks leather holster. Both will take some time for it to come in.

I will also be spending some time on hand fitting the beaver tail to the frame. Currently, it doesn't flush up to the bottom of the tang, and shows a good amount of extra materials on the beavertail. And will also be filling down both left and right thumb safeties to give a narrower profile.

Will take it to the range and post up a report.

Magpul Dynamics - The Art of Dynamic Handgun DVD set

The DVD set arrived yesterday afternoon. And last night, I watched about 1 hour 45 minutes of the first DVD. This is one intense video. Magpul does such a great job of breaking down every motions and mechanics of how one should handle their pistol. Everything from admin reload to tactical reload to pushing out the pistol at a target. Check out the Magpul promo video.

I thought I knew how to grip my pistol, and have been playing around with my grips. But after watching the first DVD, I've learned a new way. Will have to test out this grip at the range.
I can't wait to get into the remaining DVD's! I'll report back.
