Talk about messing with other shooters minds. Brass comes flying out both sides.

All the money I have in my 1911's and I carry this because I don't want to scratch them : ) Sad.

Scratch them? Are they decorations or firearms?

Well, they are expensive and I'm anal. If I scratch my Glock no problem, If I scratch my Dan Wessons I get depressed. I'm sure I am not the only one like that : ) I still carry them sometimes.

I want to keep them blue!

I like shooting mine too much to baby them, but then I'm not a collector. I wouldn't want to buy a firearm I would be afraid to scratch.

You can do both. It's a delicate balance lol. I shoot all my guns, I take care of some of them a little more than others.

It's like getting married and never having sex with your wife to keep her fresh and unsullied for the next guy.

Well duty finish is where it's at.

Duty finish or Duty treat there is a difference.

 

[Boldkharma]

Your right, three of mine have duty finish not the older treat. The duty finish is where its at!

I have three DW's and carry them all. The Duty Finish is hard to beat or scratch. I bought them to shoot and use.. My EDC is a Dan Wesson ECO, and I have 2 and the back up is a ECP. All in 45ACP.

I have 6 Dan Wesson's and I carry them too, just not as much as my Glock or Sigs : ) I actually carry my Colt 1911's more than the DW's
