If you buy a recent manufacture Dan Wesson 1911, it will have a CZ serial number.

From most accounts, they are a pretty dang good 1911.

My experience was, perhaps, "the exception to the rule".

Nearly two years, two 1911 smiths and a good bit of money later, mine is finally a keeper. But I will never again buy a used DW 1911 (or, for that matter, having experienced their idea of customer service, a new one), nor would I recommend a DW 1911 to anyone, unless he could put at least 100 rounds through it first.
