With exactly 6237 rounds downrange, I think I’m done messing with the DW 9mm Guardian I picked up last May. In that time I have only had 2 malfunctions which I believe was due to limp wristing while playing with a 13lb. recoil spring. I trust this gat 100% and it rides behind my hip in a Milt Sparks SS2 daily. I own 34 Metalform Springfield style 9 round magazines I picked up from Greg Cote just for this pistol. My projectiles of choice are standard pressure 147gr. Federal HST’s which function perfectly and perform quite well in killing berm mud!
I spent a lot of time researching and playing with trigger parts. Crashing and burning a bunch of times I finally got in dialed in with the perfect amount of pre-travel and over-travel for concealed carry with a glass rod break right at 4.5lbs. I must have taken this gun apart a few thousand times. Even though quite frustrating at times, the learning experience was huge for me. I have plenty more to learn and will eventually do a complete build.
I had so much fun with this, I picked up another slightly used 9mm Guardian from Steve Owens and will be setting it up exactly the same. One is none, two is one and all that!
Have a great day guys and gals!
