    Up for your consideration is my nicely upgraded Pre-2015 Dan Wesson Guardian one in the coveted .38 Super caliber. This gun was built in 2014 back when Dan Wesson had a licensing agreement with Ed Brown for the contour of the bob-tail. The beauty of these vintage guns is that all the Ed Brown...

    Well this is a gun I had zero intention of selling but after an irresponsible purchase something has to go to offset the cost! 2018 production, one of the best carry guns DW makes. I purchased this in January from Whiten. This gun appears to have been carried quite a bit in its life and has...

    It's a shame there's some foxing on here but I'll own this 38 super until they throw dirt on my face -- so "oh, well"

    Don’t know much about this listing, but on the surface looks pretty good for what the seller is asking. It doesn’t give caliber in the title. I thought it may be a 45 ACP, which is why I read further and learned it is a 38 Super. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/929533241

    Picked up from a member here I believe last year. COVID, work, and birth of first kid means I’ve only been to the range 2-3x in last 18 months so time to move some things down the road. Shot as well st 50 yards with this as I typically do at 25, but I’m preferring my LTT Conpact Carry and SAO...

    Hey guys. So I sold my Staccato C and Ed Brown KC9, and resisted a rebound impulse buy. I’ve watched a number of videos on the Dan Wesson Vigil vs the Guardian and can’t seem to see the difference besides $400 and a Bobbed Mainspring Housing. Am I missing something? Also, I have been looking at...

    So I’m considering buying a Dan Wesson Guardian in 9mm. I’m curious if anyone can tell me from first hand experience how it compares with semi-custom 1911’s like Wilson, Nighthawk, or Ed Brown. Thanks in advance.

    Today was break-in today and first shots with the ACW Prime Carry 38 Super. Keep in mind, last night I broke down the gun and it was reassembled it one drop from soaking wet. It started interestingly enough by not being able to get a round chambered. First magazine, release the slide and it...

    Today's project, a local gunsmith offered to swap out my front sight on the 38 super guardian. I like a big, bright, front sight as I'm not a bulls-eye shooter and train for mass acquisition and self-defense. I may swap out the rear sight and some point in the future and feel OK doing that...

    I love this gun, light, thin, reliable and shoots tight groups, if my Counselor was smaller and easier to reload I would carry this far more. It's so hard to get on a smith's bench, any suggestions who would entertain a simple front sight swap? I want to use an Trijicon HD XR yellow or orange...

    I bought this in late 2019 for my father, it hasn't been shot much. Because of the pandemic he made "maybe" 3 range sessions with it in the last 18 months. I posted several weeks ago we had an issue at the range with Magtech ammo but that was corrected with the gracious Chuck Rogers reaming the...

    As the title states, if you could buy 1 Dan Wesson in 2021, would you buy a used Guardian, or a NIB duty coat Valor VBob? Price difference pre-haggling is $150, meaning the NIB Valor Bob is $150 more. I don’t mind waiting on shipping for the used Guardian, and the Valor VBob would be a long...

    Work never seems to end so I have to think ahead and carve time out for the range which means make an appointment so I have an excuse to leave and be somewhere. I pulled two 38 supers out of the safe and spent a wonderful 90 minutes at Scottsdale Gun Club throwing over 400 rounds down range...

    A little 4 PM therapy session, Dan Wesson Guardian, Wilson Combat Stealth and Wilson Combat Sentinel. 100 or so rounds through each gun, 4 magazines of self-defense loads through each gun, not a stumble, everything was 100% perfect. Now to sit an clean them and watch some of RNC convention...

    I love it when a plan comes together, I was up and at my desk at 5 am this morning so I could make my 3:00 PM ranger reservation at Scottsdale Gun Club. I finally got to shoot my GI Guncrafter and boy it did not disappoint, with it's full size frame and 5" barrel I could shoot the stinger off...

    I’ve been in the market for a DW 9mm commander for some time, and in my hunt for the best deal, I’ve come across a used Silverback in 10mm for $1600 shipped. It does have a small blemish on the bottom of the guide rod area, but other than that looks barely used. About a year ago I had the hots...
