    For Sale from DeMotte, IN:

    For those of you who don't know, Dan Wesson firearms are the hidden gems of the 1911 world. Hand fit with ZERO MIM parts, they represent some of the finest production/ semi-custom pistols ever made! Performance on both of these firearms has been nothing short of flawless and amazing! Take this opportunity to save even more money on two truly spectacular firearms!

    Here is a good video representation of why Dan Wesson firearms stand out among the competition:

    And now to my advertisement:

    1. Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm Bobtail Commander 9mm w/ Lightweight alloy frame
    Black Duty Finish (Tougher than the Tenifer process GLOCK uses!)
    Factory Novak style 3-dot Night Sights (green front sight, yellow rear sight)

    Very Lightly Used with zero dents, dings, scratches.
    I have take this pistol to the range twice. ZERO issues. Phenomenally accurate with a trigger that must be felt to be believed!

    Comes with one Dan Wesson 9-round 9mm Magazine and one Metalform 10-round 9mm magazine

    Here is a description from the website:

    "CZ-USA had many requests to produce a Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm.In response, they've revived one of the early Dan Wesson 1911 models with atwist…
    They have combined the best features from two of our most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The new Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed and make it comfortable enough for 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."

    2. Dan Wesson Valor Bobtail (VBob) Commander 9mm w/ All Steel Frame
    Black Duty Finish (TOUGH!)
    Factory "Heinie Straight Eight" Style Sights w/ Tactical Ledge (green front sight, yellow rear sight)

    Has been to the range twice. Accurate would be an understatement! A LASER!
    Trigger is unspeakably good! Frame to slide fit is like ball bearings smooth.

    No dings, dents, scratches of any kind on this pistol. It looks new.

    Comes with two Dan Wesson 9-round 9mm Magazines

    Here is a description from the website:

    "The popular Bobtail Commander is now available in the Valor series in the form of the V-Bob. The Valor series is our flagship line, meaning it’s the best we have to offer. Frankly, we feel it is the best built production 1911 on the market.
    The V-Bob is loaded with features, including a forged Bobtail frame with 25 LPI checkering front and back, an undercut trigger guard, tactical ledge night sights, VZ slim line G10 grips, EGW carry bevel bushings as well as our tool-steel fire controls and other premium small parts. Every piece that goes into the Valor series is hand-fit, polished and blended to provide you with not only the best functioning gun we can provide, but also the best looking. The V-Bob can be had with either a matte stainless glass bead finish or our super durable black Duty finish. This finish is a revolutionary treatment process that actually bonds to the components and creates a super-durable matte black skin. Our Duty Black finish beats any of the spray-and-bake finishes most companies use today, hands down. Our durability testing proves it and our customers love it – which is proof enough for us!"

    Fit and finish on these is SECOND TO NONE!
