Dan Wesson M1911 ACP pistols are a range of handguns developed and manufactured by Dan Wesson Firearms in Norwich, New York, USA. The designation of the self-loading pistols is based on the original model, the " Colt M1911 ", and its original caliber " .45 ACP ". Dan Wesson Firearms is now a subsidiary of the ČZ Group, whose sales and service has been taken over by ČZ-USA since 2005.
The pistols ( DW 1911 for short ) themselves are among the semi-automatic recoil loaders with the Browning system named after its inventor . There are only a few of these pistols in Germany. They are known and in demand in the USA for their precision. Although the guns are not available in Europe, there are some pistols that were imported from the US by their owners themselves.
Development history and areas of use
The M1911 pistol was originally developed by Colt on behalf of the US Department of Defense. After the patents expired, this pistol model is now manufactured by many companies. The DW 1911 models were based on the M1911 in production from around 1999 in Norwich.
The DW 1911 are mainly used in American shooting sports.
