Do you know COTEP?
Congregation Of The Enlightened Pistolero?
A group of DW 1911 shooters, joined in the premise that DW 1911's reflect the very best of production 1911's (sound familiar?). I think this grew out of the 1911forum.com, and I've been a member there for a short while.
I can tell you that it is a Forum remarkably like DWF, very friendly, and kind of "chatty". The central focus is DW 1911's, but there is plenty of room for other brands, other types of firearms, social commentary, and a nice DW Revolver Forum as well.
If you're a DW 1911 guy, it's worth a look:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

You need a registration passcode to register. I don't have one so I can't register.

Pretty much the same as joining here you just need to sign up with a screen name, this is the place for revolvers, 1911 Forum is the place to be for DW 1911's. Ton's of info and a great bunch of guys.

Somewhere on the Home Screen it will tell you that the passcode to register is "valor".
I agree that 1911.com is a bigger, much more capable site. I'm finding COTEP to be more like DWF for me, more like a bunch of guys hanging out talking guns, shooting, life, and … A lot like, oh well, DWF! Lots of places to go for technical info, sometimes "you just wanna go where everybody knows your name"

Looks like a nice site. I haven't joined any new sites in quite a while, mostly because I don't have the time to regularly visit the dozen or so that I already belong to.
I may have to make an exception with this one, though.

The Dan Wesson group there is friendly, the rest of the forum... eh.
They have several 'post police' that just wait for the opportunity to correct you to their way of thinking. Rather harsh also. I didn't stay long. Just one of a few I tried and left. That was a couple years ago now. Maybe it has changed or mellowed?
I'll stick with this one, defensivecarry.com and a local board here.

Yeah, the 1911forum has a "sub-forum" called the COTEP, you wouldn't want to confuse that with COTEP.org ... just a totally separate entinity (possibly misspelled), dudes. 
BTW, looking at the DW revolver pic thread, I may need just end up joining to help lend a hand in that endeavour!

No, I was agreeing with Boss Dog how some others act, not 1911 forum
specifically.

1911forum.com Yep that's the place. I don't go there anymore. Don't need it or the hassle.
