Dan Wesson Specialist Features
Another pistol getting a facelift for 2020, the Specialist features a new style light rail frame (as seen on the Kodiak) as well as forward cocking serrations and Dan Wesson inset slide serrations that reduce glare between the sights. The stainless steel slide has a 1913-style rail integrated into it for installation of lights and lasers, while the undercut trigger guard and 25 LPI frontstrap checkering help plant the pistol. Controls are prominent, with an ambidextrous thumb safety, extended magazine release and a magwell to facilitate quick reloads. Finished off with a set of G-10 grips that guide the hand up and into the extended beavertail, the Dan Wesson Specialist is topped with a set of tritium sights front and rear, the back sight configured in a stacked dot style.
