Finally saw one in the wild. Very nice pistol, tight lockup, seems like a nice trigger, high profile dovetailed sights. Very nice wood stocks, deep blue finish. $769. plus tax at LGS, probably cheaper online.

Where are you seeing a Dan Wesson for that price?

Not a Dan Wesson. While CZ owns Dan Wesson, and Dan Wesson makes 1911's, CZ proper makes their own 1911 now under the CZ name. Clear as mud right?

Except they aren't making any more of them for now. I lime it and would get one but the ones around here are about $100.00 too high.

Now that you mention it I do recall reading something about them. Meh save your pennies and buy a real 1911 like a DW or Les Baer.

I like the serial numbering; reminds me of the old Sistemas:

I'd prefer a 97b

If you want a GI style 1911, it does look like a pretty good option.

Unfortunately, their rarity on the market is causing a disproportionate price increase or the market is mirroring the demand.

If I had the spare cash and the opportunity to purchase one at a 'reasonable' price I wouldn't hesitate.

Are they still producing them is a valid question. They're listed on the website under discontinued/limited edition.

CZ is not going to put their mark on an inferior product. Have never read a bad word about the 1911's.

Dan Wesson does in fact make the CZ 1911's.One of CZ empoyess at Shot Show confirmed this.I have a CZ 1911 and also Dan Wesson 1911.Barrel crowns are a match,fit and finish is a match.Id have to almost say this CZ 1911 standard pistol is about the best fitted standard 1911 ive seen.All milled parts except for the mag release and at the moment cant remember which other one it was.
My CZ 1911 is fitted as good as my Specialist and Guardian.....No pics at the moment.
Highly recommend it.....im debating of grabbing a second one....Dam 1911'itis !

I like mine quite a bit. I did a review on here and the only cast parts are the mag catch and grip safety. The fit is superb and I've had no malfunctions what so ever.

It's serial number 39.
