About the Dan Wesson 1911
Dan Wesson, a brand under CZ-USA, produces a line of premium 1911-pattern pistols built to tight tolerances with an emphasis on accuracy and quality fit and finish. These pistols are single-action, semi-automatic handguns chambered in traditional 1911 calibers and are designed for target shooting, competition, and duty or home defense use.
How the California versions differ
- The Commander Classic Bobtail (01912) has a shorter 4.3" barrel, while the PM7 Stainless (01900) features a full-length 5" barrel.
- The Commander Classic Bobtail has a rounded, bobbed mainspring housing, which can improve concealability and comfort for carry.
- The PM7 is offered in a stainless steel finish, giving it a distinct appearance and added corrosion resistance compared to the blued Commander Classic Bobtail.
- The full-length 5" barrel of the PM7 generally provides a longer sight radius, which can benefit accuracy at the range.
- Both models are chambered in .45 ACP; no alternate caliber options are currently on the California roster for this family.
Who it suits
These pistols suit experienced shooters who appreciate a well-built, traditional 1911 platform, whether for range use, target shooting, or as a full-size or commander-length carry option.
