[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1400910, member: 7488"] So I wandered by Second Hand Rose on my lunch break and checked out some DW in person. They are pretty nice, very feature-loaded. The bobtail is a nice touch in a factory gun. The "bobtail" on an officer frame (the CCO) is really a nice touch, though it is not a true bobtail. But they aren't as solid to me in fit and finish as the other pistols priced in that range. I think even a (gasp!) Kimber (which isn't even hand fitted) appears to have as nice a feel to is as these. This also seems to be a noted problem with the Wessons: [attach=full]83808[/attach] which scares me a bit. If this happens in more than just isolated incidents, I would be worried about the other tolerances buggered during their fitting processes. I think if I wanted a bob, I would have a 'smith do it to another pistol of my liking. GMT, thanks for the heads up on that shop too, they are good people. Had some nice old S&W revolvers in there I fondled :) [/QUOTE]
