Kansas City, KS (September 16, 2019) – CZ-USA and Dan Wesson add to the company’s suppressor-ready pistols with the DW Wraith, featuring a 5.75-inch, factory-threaded barrel. The Wraith features High Night Sights to accommodate a suppressor, as a suppressor usually blocks out some or all of the standard 1911 sights.
A full-sized 1911, the DW Wraith is available in 45 ACP, 10MM, and 9MM Luger. The frame and slide on the DW Wraith are made of heavy-duty, forged stainless steel, and are coated in Dan Wesson’s distressed version of the gun maker’s Duty finish. Non-distressed parts are finished in black.
The DW Wraith’s G10 grips feature an edgy and very functional stippling. The extended grip and thumb safeties make the DW Wraith easy to use even with gloved hands. For added support, sharp, 25 lines-per-inch checkering is found on the front strap and mainspring housing. The Wraith’s undercut trigger guard provides a higher grip for better handling and stability.
The Wraith’s ejection post is lowered and flared for better ejection of spent brass. Forward slide serrations provide a nice texture for racking back the slide. The beveled magwell means easier and faster magazine changes.
All DW Wraith’s come with a thread protector, and ships with two (2) magazines, a Signature Series pistol case, a barrel bushing wrench, one (1) cable lock, and an owner’s manual.

  1. I like my 1911s in both 10mm and 9mm. But do carry a Officers 45ACP.
    These guns at 43oz aren’t exactly pocket guns. And at $2K.
    Ill pass.

  2. They are pricey but compared to other high end 1911s they are a great value. My Dan Wesson Specialist performs at the same level as Wilson Combat , etc for about half the cost . I’m a fan

  3. Way outta my price range, but a gorgeous pistol. Would love to have one in either .45 or 10mm (something about a 1911 in 9mm just seems wrong to me, LOL).

  4. Dan Wesson definitely makes Nice Things™, but these are a little rich for my budget.

    Still interested in reading a review, tho. 😀
