I dont know anything, but Im in for the history lesson that is bound to get taught by the members of this board
They never cease to amaze me with their knowledge of firearms.

PS: Dude, you definitely have Dan Wesson fever! Haha

I picked up 4 while waiting for my Les Baer 6 inch.... If I sell a gun its only fitting to replace it... Im starting to choose quality over quantity. Honestly I was blown away by the quality of Dan Wesson. I sold all my Sigs, Kimbers in 1911 platform

What I see is a Razorback with a few cosmetic upgrades. Like the clark rib on top of the slide, the target sights on the rear, front strap checkering. Not much else I can see really special about it especially in just one view in a pic. It is becoming more obvious that their attempts at short run specialty pistols didn't have the impact on the market like expected. So any additional cost above a standard Razorback is more limited and worthy based on the additional cosmetic work as opposed to a rarity or collectible imo..

Well this pistol was produced in 2009 and only 210 were made and thats it... it has ramped match barrel

 

[Grunt35710]

this is all ive found

I understand that, but again it's a glorified Razorback with cosmetic upgrades, you asked so there it is . Anything real special? No.. all dan Wesson 10mm have ramped barrels btw..

If you dig back a little further you can find what's called their patriot, which has an external extractor and was their precursor to their PM series pistols..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yep all 10mm, 9mm, .38S all have ramped barrels as well as all alloy framed guns (post CZ). These are just Razorback's with a adjustable sight, rib and in the catalogue they were listed to have an ambi-safety? I think they were trying new things in 2009 to test the market, I would guess, as they also did the SSC which was a one year only model and they did two limited edition models. Now the limited edition models have collector following, the Marksman and SSC were more a one and done type thing.

It was my understanding the SSC guns were made for and sold by CZ Custom, you can by one now on their site

 

[DWdude]

It states in the ad they are made specifically for them and are not in the CZ-USA line up. That's probably why they disappeared from the DW catalogues. I guess it's more of an aftermarket customized DW????

Looks like they did discontinue them in '09 but now and again make some batches for CZ Custom.

Dan Wesson - SSC 40!

I had to do it, the addiction I just cannot contend with :D In reality I just love the 1911 platform and my recent addition of the PM 9 has just been stellar in every way. Having in the stable already 45acp, 38 super, and 9mm, I went on a quest to find a 5" 40 S&W. DW originally brought this to...

Ya, I agree about the quality. When I first started looking at them, I couldn't figure out why they were so damn affordable. Shoulda bought many at that time.
