Dan Wesson Pointman 45 ACP: Competition-Ready 1911
The Pointman represents Dan Wesson's commitment to building a 1911 pistol that performs equally well on the range and in competition. This is a firearm designed by shooters, for shooters.
Design and Construction
The Pointman features a forged stainless steel frame and slide, finished with a soft brushed appearance on the flats while the serrated surfaces receive a contrasting sandblasted treatment. This two-tone finish is both aesthetically refined and functionally purposeful—the serrations provide positive grip points without unnecessary aggression.
Sighting System
Accuracy is paramount, and Dan Wesson addresses this with:
- Adjustable rear sight for precise elevation and windage correction
- Fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition in varying light conditions
- Inverted top rib running between the sights to reduce glare and improve sight picture clarity
Ergonomic Excellence
The pistol incorporates several refinements that enhance control and comfort:
- Undercut trigger guard positions your hand higher on the grip for improved recoil management
- 25 LPI front strap checkering provides secure purchase without harsh texture
- Double diamond cocobolo grips offer classic aesthetics and reliable grip security
- Front and rear cocking serrations enable confident manipulation in any condition
