Man I love me a 1911 and I'm all but certain that's a Dan Wesson ECO (sadly since discontinued but it's one of the rare examples of me picking one up first)... but that's still funny as hell. Still love that gun though...

I got #36 through Dave Severns when they were initially released.

They're amazing pistols and I'm glad I was able to snag one for myself. I remember when I first bought it, I had every intention to replace the grips but they grew on me and I ended up keeping it as-is. The first time I took it to the range, the first 50 rounds or so I was getting stove pipes using their checkmate magazines and thinking to myself, I just became a meme and spent (at the time) an untold fortune for me on a pistol. Well I stuck with it and after the first box- it started running like a sewing machine and I was happy.

The anodizing of the stippled grip area is wearing away, and I'm not the biggest fan of needing a bent paperclip to disassemble it. It wasn't until my wife pointed it out... pretty sure I did the below... that the tritium were two different colors with the Heinie sights.

But yep- it's become one of my favorite pistols for sure. I really wanted to pick up their Valkyrie model, especially at the prices they were selling for 5 years or so ago but I sadly missed the boat before they were discontinued.
