Dan Wesson has produced several 10mm's. (The Silverback, the Razorback, the Bruin, the Valor, the Titan and the Fury.) As far as the price, it's a few hundred dollars more than some Desert Eagles; but it's more reliable, more useful and built better than a Desert Eagle.
Dan thanks for another great video. I must say, since the abundance of videos be demobilized the majority of gun channels I watch have slowed down on posting. You keep pumping videos out and each one is a home run. No doubt you do this because you love it.
I had a Kodiak and it was sent back multiple times to try and fix it from jamming. The THIRD time they kept it and refunded my money without asking me if I wanted a refund?! There so pretty I would have just kept it and used it as a paper weight 😂. DW pistols are great and it hasn’t stopped me from buying others. Their customer service and warranty is fantastic.
I just got a 10mm wraith and it was just as much but it is worth every penny. Mine still has the bushing and is all stainless but only 5.75 long. I can change the bushing and barrel without a problem , this gives it possibilities in the future. It is mill spec. as far as the slide. It makes the recoil from a 10 to a 7 compared to a glock. It shot 3" to the left at 25 yd. with a beautiful trigger. When you hold it ,It make you feel warm and safe ,like you are snuggled in a bosom.
That is certainly a handsome pistol, I do love the long-slide 1911's! That one looks amazing, and who wouldn't love a 10mm version of the iconic Dan Wesson 1911. I know you will love that one brother, and looking forward to seeing this one at the range!!
One of the most beautiful 1911 I ever seen, it’s worth every dollar you pay, I hope to see range review on this because there aren’t many reviews on this DW on the internet, thanks bro for bringing this 1911 in to your channel 👍
Very nice! I don't own any Dan Wesson but I have shot my neighbor's and I see why the cost is there... true craftsmanship and hand fitting. Can't wait for the range video. Good stuff!
Can't believe they come with those cheap magazines. I forget the manufacturer, but those are the exact same that came with my RIA tac 2 10mm. Bought 2 more for 3 total, and all 3 failed in the first 500 rounds through the gun. Went and splurged on Wilson Combat 9 round mags, and never had an issue again.
Beautiful gun, quality longslide and ya gotta love a 10mm. Fully supported chamber and no mim parts, can handle full power loads no problem. I’ll never be able to add it to my 1911’s because of price but it’s nice to daydream.
Almost got the dan wesson bruin a few years ago, kind of regretted not getting one when i could, but this pistol, i think i like even more than the bruin on looks alone, might spoil myself this holiday and pick one up.
Best non custom made period. The only complaint is availability when the Bruin came out they where impossible to find even ordering one took a long time to get. However if I come across the cash I'll certainly get one.
I bought a Dan Wesson Point Man 7 , PM7 . That was 10 years ago, now the value has gone way up , Yah. It's my best shooting gun I own , match barrel, match trigger, adjustable sights , beautiful finish. If you buy quality it will maintain value over time. Get one , it only hurts once !
You mentioned the weight, I hope it's to handle full SAAMI pressure loads and not the watered down stuff. The long barrel will help a bit with velocity to get the full potential of that awesome round. Looking forward to the range review as they claim great accuracy, the trigger could be a little lighter but with your great skills i'm sure you can squeeze out of it everything it has to offer.
I can get one of these for around $1850 locally. I think I’ll do just that here in a couple months. Was gonna go for the Springfield TRP but this Kodiak is da way
I have to admit that I am envious of your latest edition, even if Dan Wesson and I have never had a great relationship with one another. I will not diminish the value or appeal of their products as they are outstanding examples of quality and workmanship, but getting someone in Norwich to answer a phone is like pulling teeth....at least since CZ took over the place. Beautiful gun though, and as always, excellent commentary.
Much appreciated brother. I knew this 1911 would draw some hate due to it's MSRP however there have been several guys who own DW handguns that swear by them
You're gonna love the DW revolvers with user interchangeable barrels! Looking forward the the range review of the Kodiak. Spendy indeed, but one pays for top quality. EDIT: after all....it's a DAN Wesson! (In my young man years, when I bought my first Dan Wesson, I was very anti-Smith & Wesson since they were owned by Bangor Punta, and the quality degraded. Thank goodness that was short-lived.)
I as much as I admire the Dan Wesson offerings , the price tag is as mentioned already , too much for now ! When I become more old and more feeble and condense my existing collection, a Wesson might replace a few others ! My rationale is as fickle as the wind when it comes to the guns I think I need , I have fun with it though. I enjoy your Vids. Thank You.
I am awaiting for my custom Silverback in 6" 10mm. There will be a few differences from the standard Silverback, I had to have that two-tone look. That's a will be a beauty.
My best friend recently inherited a Dan Wesson 6" 44 magnum revolver. It's blued steel and is a real treat to shoot! This was one of many different firearms left to my friend and he is willing to sell it for $800. It's in almost brand new condition (24 rounds through it so far) although I don't know it's manufacture date. Any thoughts out there?
The reason we are born with two kidneys, and......extra body parts, and Dan Wesson *knows* it 😏 I have my Rock Island Ultra FS HC (10mm) *But* if I was to splurge on a 1911 it’d a Coonan chambered in .357 Mag. Regardless, thanks for sharing that amazing piece of badassery Dan! It looks to me like the Lamborghini of 1911’s! lol
HOLY SHIT! I've been in love with dan Wesson's especially thier 10.m 1911 line I live In upstate NY and until this video I was completely clueless they are only a 40 min drive south of me 🤦♂️ but yup the price on this kodiak is a little out of what I can drop 😭
I love my 45acp 1911, but I cant make up my mind if I wanna trade for a 10mm like this or keep the 45 & pick up a 460 Rowland kit... decisions, decisions 🤣
Definitely a piece worth collecting. Beautiful piece! Can’t wait for the range video!
Much appreciated Bob

Thanks Trae. I made it sound like this is the only one but you are right they have been producing 10mm guns for a while
Dan thanks for another great video. I must say, since the abundance of videos be demobilized the majority of gun channels I watch have slowed down on posting. You keep pumping videos out and each one is a home run. No doubt you do this because you love it.

Wow the tolerances and the moving parts are top notch.
Just got mine, Thanks for showing the disassembly.
I have a DW guardian in 45, it's the best handgun I've ever owned. Love the DW and may be looking at one of these soon.
Very cool Chris

Thanks MD. You are miking your way to 1k subs. That's the hardest milestone

Man that is a canon. Awesome looking piece. I can't afford it, but if I could I would get one. Love the 6" barrel. Makes the 10mm move right along.
I agree MIke - thanks brother
Dan reviewing the Dan! Great review, keep'em coming!🇺🇸👍
Haha thanks Peace
Love my Dan Wesson Valkyrie commander in .45 acp. My EDC. Wish they would make a 10mm commander.
Very cool Dani
Beautiful tool , can't wait till range action.
Thanks Michigan Grown. Fellow MI man here too
@@TheFirearmGuy yeah buddy I recently seen a video of yours at top gun.👍
I had a razorback 10mm and Dan Wesson firearms are definitely worth the cash
Glad to hear that Glock Guy

Thanks for no nonsense video. Well done!
Fine looking gun, but it's one of those that I will have to dream about owning. Thanks for the look.
Thanks Lance
Oh my lord....what a beauty. I used to be a rifle guy. But since i shot handguns here and there im kinda leaning towards handguns now.
Thanks Rodney
First time I saw one in a magazine I thought "I wouldn't mind having one of those
How long ago was that
Big and beautiful! 10mm is badass and 1911s are my favorite. Awesome gun
Thanks BLBB
I can get one of these for around $1850 locally. I think I’ll do just that here in a couple months. Was gonna go for the Springfield TRP but this Kodiak is da way
Very cool Dakota
Just ordered a DW ECO in. .45 I would love the Kodak for deer hunting,but wish they offered it with a RMR

So..so..beautiful! $2300 is a lot but a similarly equipped Nighthawk, Wilson, Les Baer would cost $1000 more
Thanks japoop
You're gonna love the DW revolvers with user interchangeable barrels!
Looking forward the the range review of the Kodiak. Spendy indeed, but one pays for top quality.

I hope they eventually make a 38 super long slide just like that one.
Gorgeous gun. You’re a lucky guy. Very nice review. Thanks.
Thanks Tom
Man that's a sweet setup👍i carry the G20 everyday and if i had the funds this would be my next purchase😁👍👍
Thanks gunlover
Beautiful firearm, but I will stick with my Rock Island Armory 1911 in 10mm, but if I ever hit the lottery I'm getting 2...awesome review as always
Thanks Michael
Dan Wesson's are worth the price!
Great review of a great looking 1911! Thank you
Thanks Dan
$2300...….that thing would have to pay some rent!
😐😐😐It’s got a High price point not a High IQ😐😐😐
Very nice Dan. You deserve it brother!!!!
Thanks Les but it's on loan
That is an absolute beast..love it
Thanks Matt
Not a bad price considering the Night Hawk,Custom 6" Chairman in 10mm goes for $4,100.00 !
That's interesting. Thanks Frank

Thanks Thomas
@@TheFirearmGuy No problem... Did you get one for yourself?
Great quality. Beauty. Looking forward to shooting review
Thanks brother
Thefirearmguy, please review a Les Baer Premier 5 inch 1911 45acp pistol. Thanks again and have a great day 😁
I would love to if I could get one
@@TheFirearmGuy If you start your official merchandise line, then you can afford higher priced firearms 😍 😍 😍
Good thing I installed a drool proof case on my new phone 🤤🤑 Thanks Dan 👍
Too funny swamprat
Make it in a double stack & I'd be VERY interested.
Agreed
Definitely with night sights and price tag of 1799
That would be great

I do too Bob - thanks sir
Wow that's an awesome 1911 👍
Very nice! That thing is a beast!

Very cool W C C
😳I don't think that even Christmas around the corner will get me this.😁 it's a beauty though buddy. Thanks for the review.
Much appreciated brother Rix
Really nice fit and finish on that baby!!!!

I agree entirely Steve - thanks

The Dan Wesson Experience. 10mm style!
Thanks Sean
Looks like a great gun! Enjoy..
Much appreciated Tom
I didn’t know randy savage did gun reviews!! Great video man! Oh ya!
You got it man, it's me Randy
Now all you need is the Kahr 25th anniversary.
Would love that but it's big bucks
Beautiful gun there, I’d buy one if it was in my price range
Thanks A J
Wow beautiful 1911 for self-defence
It is a little robust for people use unless you line two up.
One nice piece of steel goodness....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott
That handgun is worth more than I am. Looks awesome.
No sir, the Lord values you more ( I know you know that)
@@TheFirearmGuy I know. It's just a joke I use.
10mm badass ..great review!!💥💥💥
Much appreciated Kevin
Love this tri-tone finish...what specific model number is it?
Just search DW Kodiak - it's there
The reason we are born with two kidneys, and......extra body parts, and Dan Wesson *knows* it 😏 I have my Rock Island Ultra FS HC (10mm) *But* if I was to splurge on a 1911 it’d a Coonan chambered in .357 Mag.

Anytime big guy!
Nice gun yep cost me a fortune.
Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Lukey
Nice pistol. Good video
Thanks Snake
What a showpiece!
No doubt Wayne - thanks man
Now..... THIS I LIKE!!!
Thanks Douglas
What a behemoth! Dan is this your new EDC? Appendix / one in the chamber / safety off ? lol
Too funny man
I'm going to save my pennies and hope they eventually make the new DWX hybrid in a 10 mm
Thanks brother
Beautiful I bet it's a great shooter.
No doubt Carlos
I looked at it at the NRA meeting , very nice
Very cool brother
HOLY SHIT! I've been in love with dan Wesson's especially thier 10.m 1911 line
I live In upstate NY and until this video I was completely clueless they are only a 40 min drive south of me 🤦♂️ but yup the price on this kodiak is a little out of what I can drop 😭
Thanks UpstateArms1
That's a very sweet pistol!
Thanks Eric
@@TheFirearmGuy You're welcome Dan
Beautiful 1911! 😃
Do you know about Dan Wesson's new release, DWX? 🤔
If possible, review it! 😆
Thank you. 😉
I would love to but know nothing about it at this time
I would love to but know nothing about it at this time
Awesome pistol was this sent in for review or did you buy one ?
Review
Happy with the DW CBOB
Glad to hear that bud
Nice acquisition. I want to buy this but California said no.
They may approve with 8rd mag and thumb safety
That's a fine looking firearm.
Thanks Vule
That is one cool 1911 😎
Thanks Hero
Beautiful!
Thanks Ben

Tough one Anthony
You need to get your hands on an LAR grizzly.
Would love to
Wow, gotta get me one Dan!! Naw, just gonna keep my cheap CPX3. Nice looking gun anyway!
Haha thanks Danny
I need this in my life
That is Absolutely Beautiful!
I agree Randy - thanks man
Beautiful 1911 but to poor to own but rich enough to look see you on the range
Haha thanks brother
Hey Dan, is the hammer coated in the bronze finish?
No it's black
Beautiful gun for sure but I'll never spend that kind of money for any handgun. Definitely not one with low capacity.
Thanks Kyle
I didn't get a good look, is it a 70 series
Absolutely gorgeous
Dang that is a beauty
No doubt Trees. How was hunting?
@@TheFirearmGuy Didn't get back out trying to whip this cold.
Beautiful! 😎
