The Specialist is a 2017 addition to the Dan Wesson stable. When police departments requested to build them a more reliable, durable 1911 to replace the ones they had been carrying, a model was developed just for them. The additions that made it ideal for law enforcement also make it perfect for home defense. A full-size 1911, the Specialist is chambered in .45 or 9mm and loaded with features to satisfy a public servants special requirements. The forged stainless steel slide wears our popular Clark-style serrated rib with a single amber tritium dot in the rear sight and a green lamp with white target ring in front. The frame sports an integral 1913 Picatinny, 25 LPI front strap checkering, undercut trigger guard and recessed slide stop to enable the installation of laser grips. Equipped with an ambidextrous thumb safety, extended magazine release and detachable two-piece magwell, the Specialist is operator-friendly. It is finished off with a set of G10 VZ Operator II grips that force the hand into the beavertail and hold it there. The Specialist ships with two 8-round magazines with bump pads (10 rounds in 9mm) and is available in either a matte stainless finish or our Duty Black finish, which makes for an especially hardy pistol that scoffs at everyday wear and tear. The forged stainless steel slide wears the popular Clark-style serrated rib with a single amber tritium dot in the rear sight and a green lamp with white target ring in front. Available in Commander and full-size variants. |
