Currently this is the only DW that I own and it's the one that "I'm taking with me", lol.

When Les Baer refused to make me a (fully pre paid) stainless 10mm Commander, I took a shot and asked Keith Lawton at DW if I could get a non bobtailed Commander built. Much to my surprise, he said yes. After discussing my wants, Keith said that they could accommodate them all and the rest is history.

I chose to have DW build me a stainless 10mm non bobtailed Commander with a set of buried adjustable Bomars with green front and yellow rear Trijicon night sights. I add flat S&A magwells to all of my 1911's (Commanders one and all), this one received the same. I just can't shoot a bobtail 1911, the grip is too short for me in all the wrong places.

I also had Paul Persinger make me a set of smooth Ivory stocks with over sized double diamonds, at first he resisted making them because he didn't think they would turn out. After completing them he was so impressed by the way they felt in the hand he asked if he could offer the style to others.

When I thanked Keith Lawton for the tremendous job they did in making my 10mm, I asked if he would let the guys in the shop know how pleased I was with it, he said he'd pass the info on "to the person" that built it. I was so blown away by that, that I'm ashamed to say that I forgot to ask who did build it for me. This gun's fit and finish was so much nicer than either of my Les Baer's that I sold both of them. Nuff said.

I sent Keith a pic showing my Custom DW along with the guns that it had replaced as my carry options.

Going clockwise from the 12 o'clock position, my Custom stainless DW 10mm non bobtailed Commander, a non cataloged stainless Gold Cup Commander, a Para Ordnance P14 with a P13 top end, an S&W 1066 10mm, a Witness Carry Comp, one of the aforementioned Les Baer Concept VIII Commanche's.

Here's the pride and joy in question.

and the other side.
