Gun Descriptions

Dan Wesson Guardian

Dan Wesson has combined the best features from two of their most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed. The alloy frame makes it light enough for comfortable full time carry. The Duty Black finished, Commander-length slide and alloy frame give it just the right feel and balance. If you are looking for a lightweight Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm, .38 Super or .45 ACP, don't pass up the Guardian.

Dan Wesson Vigil Commander

With the same features as the Government-size Vigil, this shorter Commander drops some weight due to its shorter barrel and slide, making it a mid-sized pistol that remains incredibly shootable while being easier to carry on-body all day. Caliber: .45 ACP Magazine Capacity: 8 Frame Material: Forged Aluminum Slide Finish: Duty Finish Grips: Wood Overall Length: 7.9 in Barrel Length: 4.25 Width: 1.45 in Weight: 30.5 oz Trigger Mech: Single Action Front Sight: Fixed Night Sight Rear Sight: Tactical Rear Sight Safety: Manual thumb safety, grip safety
