Mossyrock/Severns DW Pointman Seven 10mm

[Mossyrock]

Hi All,

I finally finished and FINALLY took some photos of my Dan Wesson Pointman Seven in 10mm. It started life as a standard, factory-checkered model. Like most things, I just couldn't leave well enough alone. By the time the dust and metal shavings had settled, it wound up being a joint project between myself and gunsmith Dave Severns. This is what was done:

By Me:

-Recontour grip safety, removing hump
-Replace and recontour mainspring housing
-Install Videki solid trigger
-Replace the DW front sight with a Novak
-Install EGW flat-bottomed FP stop
-Install 25 pound Wolff mainspring
-Install 22 pound Wolff recoil spring
-Install Cominolli (Frame Saver) guide rod system
-Install Kimber double-diamond rubber grips
-Install stainless tool-steel extractor
-Install Ed Brown firing pin and Wolff XP fp spring
-Polished tool marks from cast frame
-Recontoured rear of frame, slide and grip safety
-Polished slide flats

By Dave Severns:

-Cleaned up the mess I made of the front sight cut ;W
-Flat topped and serrated the top of the slide
-Cut frame for high grip
-Dehorned and refinished rear sight
-Bead blasted all but slide flats
-Replaced MIM internals with Nowlin tool steel hammer and sear

I had a ball doing it, and learned a bunch. This is how it turned out:

Nice! I love 10mm 1911's and this one is no exception. My next 1911 will most definitely be a DW Pointman (unless I can find a RZ...).

Nice job, Mossy! Let us know what kinds of groups she prints....
