    Man I'm up at 4:00 am waiting till the folks call me to come and get my Dan Wesson.
    The more I wait. The more I find out about what a good pistol it is. How well its made . You don't hear much about a Dan Wesson till you get one.
    Then the folks come out of the woodwork by you asking about one.

    I bought 100 rounds of 230 grain Winchester on sale at Walley World yesterday.
    And the OL bought me a 100 rounds.
    I need 932 rounds total not including the 200 we bought to break my Ultra Carry II Kimber in and the Dan Wesson in.

    The kimber required 400 rounds. The Dan Wesson requires 600 rounds.

    At like 600 rounds the kimber requires the outter spring to be replaced.
    The dan wesson is good for 15,000 rounds on the springs.

    Gonna wear a path in the carpet pacing waiting on it to come in.

    Thanks Johnny.

    Johnny I talked to several Gun Stores and they said they have heard good things about Dan Wesson. And would like one themselves.
    But never seen one.
    And the folks with one said they just need only FP10 put on them and broken it. Keep them wet while breaking the in with FP10.
    And Keith at Dan Wesson said to not use nothing on them but FP10
    Heck I was in the manual on my Kimber yesterday. And it said use FP10
    Got some FP10 coming in that I ordered from Midway Supply.

    Wished they would call me today and said Come and Git It.

    The wait is gettin tougher.

    Cool, those grips look a lot like the VZ grips.

    Man while I was there yesterday, they had a DW VBOB with a 4" barrel
    curved off at the bottom. Dauym that pistol just sank into my hand.
    Liked it more than I could of imagined.

    If I had the money, not saying I just didn't spend 2600.00 in a few weeks on 2 weapons.
    I would carry this weapon home.

    The Vbob is a popular choice, that bobbed tail fits nice...

    When I was picking up my holster I eventually wandered over to the gun cabinet and there sits a DW Eco. I had to hold it. Very Very nice!
