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 Valkyrie Commander

Sharing the features that make the Valkyrie one of our most popular CCW 1911s, the Valkyrie Commander simply adds an aluminum Commander-length frame, making it ideal for folks who need a bit more purchase than an Officer-size frame allows. From the 25 LPI checkering to carry cuts on the slide and tactical tritium sights, the Valkyrie Commander makes a perfect 1911 for concealed carry.
