The "Classic Bobtail" in 10MM wants to follow me home.

Run, don't walk, that one looks like a heart breaker :) !!! Although I am a dyed in the wool 1911 guy, that one looks like it could lead me astray :) . Looking forward to hearing from the member on this one.

Dan Wesson is owned by CZ. They put out excellent products. I own several CZ products and can attest to their quality and performance. I would beware of any 1911 pattern 10mm. Nothing wrong with it in .45 but in 10mm they can't hold up to the pounding as witnessed by the Colt Delta Elite which is no longer produced because of frame and locking lug battering and also sheared link pins. Other companies have also had similar problems with the 10mm in a 1911 pattern. If Ya love the 10mm get a Glock. If you love the 1911 pattern, get a .45. IMO that sums it up. Best.

I have the DW 44 Mag revolver.
Love it but CZ is high on my "Poor Customer Relations" List. Can't even get a return email much less a phone call, most of the time.

Odd, I have a bunch of CZ-452's and CZ-453's I call and ask for the repair Gunsmith and get right in and talk with him or his helper.

They only have one woman that handles the old revolvers and she might as well not be there.

Yep, exactly as I heard about the 10. Only had a couple of their revolvers years ago and were too heavy for my personal taste, but built well. 1911 in my
opinion is and was and still is for the 45.
