When police departments approached us to build them a more reliable, durable 1911 to replace the ones they had been carrying, we developed a model just for them. The additions that made it ideal for law enforcement also make it perfect for home defense, so we gladly offer it for sale to the public.
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 Specialist is topped with a set of tritium sights front and rear, the back sight configured in a stacked dot style.
