Mine has definitely made the never sell pile. Feeding it is a pain in the ass. Thanks man! The Dillon helps feed it, and I'm a good way off from needing to fire it up again for another run. Plus I bought cases of .45 for 9mm prices when a bunch of local agencies were swapping to 9mm. I definitely need to stock up on more mags though, I hate having to take a break and load mags so often. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MRW: since you mentioned skate tape, are you putting it UNDER the grip panels, 'cause when I do that I get a slight gap at the top of the grip and the frame due to the thickness of the tape. I have to do my skate tape to the edge of the grip, or just the front only and not the side. https://i.imgur.com/iX1DFED.jpg Sure do. The tape I purchased from Lowes is pretty thin, so I don't get too much gap at all. I'd take a picture of it for you, but at work. They frown on "skate tape". |

He still has his DW Specialist with red dot, though.His LW had aftermarket front strap checkering. I need to have that done on mine. Anybody have any good places that'll do that on aluminum frames? I'm looking for someone who'll do 25 LPI or 30 LPI ideally. |

It thought some day, I'd replace all the mim in the RO to real steel parts.
If I ever did, I'll probably send the frame out for the bobtail, and 25lpi checker on the front strap. Until I get to that point, tape works. The 25lpi on the Guardian works really well. |

I’ve thought real hard on several occasions about sending my Grandpa’s Gold Cup to Evo. They do really nice work from what I have seen.
Also, I’ve tried skate tape, those VZ precut pieces, and that Boodad rubberized stuff on the front strap. All of it peeled quickly or caused a gap in the grip panels. I took it all off and make due with Simonochs or VZ Operators. One day the smooth straps will get checkered. |

I believe that you will have to relieve the grips to have then sit flush with the Wilson.

I've used Talon tape (cut to fit) on uncheckered front straps before. It's nice and cheap, plus not so aggressive it messes anything else up. If you just get it on the front (not under grip panels) you can keep everything good and flush.

I'm somewhere around 30 or so. Some day I'll sell some off but I've never found another handgun
 that fits my hand as well, and shoots to my natural hand point of aim. Had plenty of newer styles but I don't like fiddly little bits and tiny springs and shit that fly off into the netherworld when you pull something else off.

My Dan Wesson has been down for almost a month, but only because of my stupidity.
In February, I ordered a 10-8 rear sight, a Kensight front, new springs and a new set of grips. Going by discussions on the interwebs, DW went to a Novak front dovetail [depending on what is true] either early in 2015, or, sometime in 2015. Before that, they used a Springfield dovetail up front. I ordered a Springfield. It's a Novak.  So a lot of time was just returning sights, sights getting lost in the return, sights getting found in the return, and sights being shipped back to me......ugh. In the meantime, new mainspring, new recoil and FP spring. Fit the rear 10-8, and yesterday, fit the front. The results.....
