Product Details
The Dan Wesson DW Specialist Optics-Ready was purpose-built in response to law enforcement agencies seeking a more reliable and durable 1911 platform for duty carry. Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of public servants, this full-size 1911 chambered in 9mm delivers professional-grade performance that translates perfectly to home defense and civilian carry applications. The forged stainless steel construction ensures exceptional longevity, while the optics-ready slide accommodates modern red dot sights alongside fixed iron sights with a green tritium front lamp for rapid target acquisition in any lighting condition.

The Dan Wesson Specialist Optics-Ready stands apart from traditional 1911 designs through its operator-focused enhancements and duty-ready durability. The integral 1913 Picatinny rail provides mounting capability for weapon-mounted lights or laser modules, while the ambidextrous thumb safety accommodates both right and left-handed shooters without modification. The undercut trigger guard and recessed slide stop were specifically designed to allow installation of aftermarket laser grips, and the extended magazine release enables rapid reloads under stress. VZ Operator II G10 grips force proper hand placement into the beavertail and maintain secure purchase through recoil, while the 25 LPI frontstrap checkering provides additional grip security without being overly aggressive. The Duty Treat finish resists everyday wear and environmental exposure, making this pistol equally capable on the range, in the duty holster, or the nightstand. Backed by Dan Wesson's commitment to hand-fitted precision and reliable function, the Specialist Optics-Ready delivers law enforcement-grade performance for discerning shooters who demand uncompromising reliability.
