$989 shipped to your door! Am selling for more on the auction site. ;) But you guys get a break.
Dan Wesson 1911 Patriot 45 ACP. Forged series 70 frame. US made. Match style pistol. Has beautiful YAG laser engraving of Isaac Davis on it. This is typical of the Patriot series. The blued frame shows some wear, predominately from the leather holster and a few minor scratches. Included are 2 Chip McCormick 8 round "Power Mags". I carried this pistol for over 4 years in a gun shop here in the wild west of Taos. Has about 450 rounds thru it. Has custom parts installed like a one piece guide rod and custom bushing and a Smith and Alexander one piece mag well and mainspring housing. Superb trigger as to be expected. It is currently set up with an aftermarket Wolff +P recoil spring with original spring included. This is because I was carrying a mix of heavy +P type factory loads for carry near the Mexican border near Las Cruces where I worked part time. Double Tap and Buffalo Bore make some heavy safe loads for the 45 ACP. Early on, it was sent back to Dan Wesson for a few minor service tweaks. That service letter is included. She spent nearly all of her life after 2007 in a safe as I went to the mighty 10mm. Has the original box, papers, receipts and most of the original parts. It has aftermarket grips with speed indent for fast mag changes. Has a buttery smooth and tight action and is super accurate. Has the usual factory test group which is boringly duplicated at 25 yards with various factory loads. "Patriot Proofed" meant it had to shoot 1.5" before it left the DW factory. I shot it last in 2013 for my CCW class. Student were duly impressed at the one hole groups off hand at 3 and 7 yards, but then again, I am a firearms instructor. If you are a fussy collector looking for a perfect unscathed specimen, this ain't it. Taos, NM has the highest per capita robbery rate in the nation and this weapon is set up accordingly. Hey, note the skateboard tape! External extractor runs flawlessly (It pivots like the external extractor on a Hi Power). There are no other blued Dan Wesson Patriot models on the web. Dan Wesson Patriots are not made anymore as they were not cost effective with all the YAG lasering and the custom hand fitting that was utilized.
These were only made for a few years. It could use a simple detail cleaning, but it is good to go. Skateboard tape and front sight paint are easily removed. Make sure your FFL will accept a transfer form a NON-FFL! I will include a copy of my current DL for your FFL. USPS MO only! Free shipping for Appleseeders!
You know how pricey handguns are to ship. :cool2:
Get it before the election! ;)
