I recently purchased this Dan Wesson A2, and I would like more magazines that match the theme of the pistol. Ideally, more of these exact same Dan Wesson marked magazines, but if there is a similar looking, and more reliable / better quality magazine available, I'll go with those instead.
Specifically, I'm looking for more 8 round, flush fit magazines in the same style, but maximum quality and reliability.
Which OEM...

Would like recommendations/suggestions for a mid price range leather shoulder holster for my Guardian in 38SUPER. As I get more matured (getting older), I’m finding that IWB or even OWB is becoming more challenging, so I’d like to try a shoulder rig. I used one in the military that was a hand made job done by the para-riggers but those were big and bulky and weren’t for CCW carry. I like one in the mid price range as I don’t want to invest, at this point, into something that may not work out...

I know DW recommends FP-10 for Duty Treat. I ordered a new bottle and it came labeled as “FP-10 lubricant elite CLP”. Is this the same stuff, just with a slightly different label ..read more

I picked up a nice CBob Classic at a recent local gun show, and would like to purchase a factory plastic case for it. Just the standard case that holds the pistol, two mags, and the paperwork in the lid of the case. Can you buy them from Dan Wesson or CZ? Thanks for your help.

I’ve heard plenty of positive things about the ECO in 9 mm for every day carry. Price points for a used ECO aren’t that far off from a new ECP. Do they shoot and handle the same? Thank you ..read more

I have been looking for a 9mm 1911. I wanted something reliable, good fit and function, but I didn't want to spend thie kind of money it takes to get a Wilson and I was not looking for jewelery, I planned to shoot the darn thing whenever I wanted to. Among a few others several people recommended Dan Wesson.
I did quite a bit of Googling and reading. There was a lot of support for those recommendations so I began looking for one. Today I brought home PM-9.
I am very impressed. The fit and...

Switched to single thumb safeties and solid long triggers for my two new Valors. Enjoyed these two features from the original line I had in Duty Treat. This coupled with the new Valor additions of a magwell, top serrations on the slide, undercut trigger guard and GI slide serrations give me the perfect blend of what I wanted. I believe I will be switching out the grips however ..read more

Where should I start troubleshooting a reloading issue where at slide lock, when inserting a topped off magazine, while either using the slide stop or overhand release method, the gun fails to feed? It used to be very intermittent but has become more frequent lately.
The magazines are Wilson ETM’s and this failure only occurs when loading and the ammunition is FMJ, no hollowpoints. The gun fires and runs without issue and it currently sits at 3,000 rounds ..read more
