I had no idea it was produced in limited numbers until this morning. I was surfing around on the 1911 forum and found a post by the VP of DW stating 300 produced in 2017, 100 produced in 2018, none in 2019, the DW web site currently shows it "Discontinued". But I think DW might be like Arsenal......sometimes they "raise the dead", lol.
Wow. 1 of 400...I had a feeling it was uncommon, hence my "rare bird" statement, but WOW. That's awesome. Something else I noticed is the grips seem to cover more of the gun, they're wider from the front strap to the mainspring housing it seems. And I absolutely love that. A lot of factory production grips are narrower in that regard...
Have you looked at the safety yet? I love they way they're milled/contoured. Solid. And absolutely crisp when snapped on/off.
