I’m in love with my DW specialist. I didn’t understand the 1911 draw until I held a Dan Wesson
Stay tuned. Got another very special 1911 coming up next 😉
After I’d got my 6” trp and 4” empccc I walked in buds and picked up the ss 10mm specialist and it never left my hand and resides in a ttgunleather iwb with nuclear 135noslers..i handload almost every day and hunt with longslide 1911 so I have dialed real 10mm power loads in that I wouldn’t personally shoot in plastic guns…I had to fire 1 to run some ol dogs off comin near my little jack Russel’s 1 handed and liked to lost it….I’d forgotten I put the mean ones in mag…lol
Btw my hammer is tryin to rust…get the duty coat it’s worth the $200 and I wish I had a black with cocobolo one now
I own the 9mm version of the gun, I absolutely love it. I can rapid fire extremely fast and hit center mass with no problems. Congratulations on your purchase.
My best 1911 purchase.. I LOVE this thing... My next 1911 purchase is going to be the 5' Specialist. 1911 the sexiest pistol ever
Amen….
Wow! Dan Wesson hit the mark with this pistol delivering a tactically focused 1911.
I have the 9mm version, love it!
This is by far my favorite DW pistol among the many. Best , reliable 45 money can buy. Well over 1000 rounds various ammunition not an issue. Thank you for well done review.
Picked up one of these at my local shop used and unfired for $1100. This is an AWESOME pistol.
Beautiful! Great content as always!
Always appreciate your viewership bud!
I have five Dan Wesson pistols two staccato pistols and one Wilson combat and I will tell you the Staccato‘s are my favorite but the Dan Wesson is the best bang for the buck by far my TCP is exactly like yours every bit as smooth as a $3000 handgun and I paid $1580 for it
Hope you are still enjoying the TPC! I am picking this model up myself
Excellent Video!
Thank you for the informative vid!
My next purchase! Have to wait until December but can’t wait. Hundreds of hours of research have led to this.
This is very similar to the Nighthawk custom delegate in specs and looks. Would be nice to see a review and comparison video between the two.
Just ordered my ECP 45!!!
Damn good review! Thank you.
Love it..
You’re not a Jonathan Haze from Illinois, are you?

Why what's up??
I knew a Jonathan Haze I worked at back in the day with AT&T lol
Thanks for the video! I purchased the SA Emissary in a 9mm... and then came across the DW TCP chambered in a .45. After I held it at the shop, I fell in love with it. I'd truly like to get my hands on the 9mm version.... been hunting around to see if anyone carries it.
There’s plenty of gunbroker right now. Just scored one on auction for $1400. I’m sure you’ve moved on by now though.
Good video great gun hard as hell to find long wait but worth the wait.
GREAT REVIEW! Does the pistol use commander length (4.25") recoil springs... and what is the spring weight?
I believe it's a 17lbs spring, but can't really tell for sure.
This or specialist commander? Im looking for 45 acp 1911 for AIWB.
Really comes down to weight and feel. If you want the lighter weight for EDC, the aluminum frame of the TCP helps, as does the carry bevel on the slide. If you want the traditional, all steel, and less snappy recoil, the Specialist will shoot a little nicer.
good shit bro
Did you change the front sight? If so what brand and cut did you go with? I've heard DW sights are proprietary. I would like a FO Dawson Precision but don't know if ant fit.
I didn't, and I can tell you with certainty the Dawson's don't fit. That said, DW does offer a few sight options on their site, but be cautious when you attempt to remove the front sight. It's a bitch to take off.
I think that you may have made a mistake on the weight. You said 3 pounds that's 48oz. Heavier that a steel framed Government model.
You're correct. It's under 2 pounds. My mistake
Thanks for the review. Great job.
I have a DW Specialist Commander in 45 but really want a carryable DW 1911 in 9mm. Am considering trading my specialist for the TCP.
Do you know if the TCP uses slim or regular grip bushing and screws? I want to change my grips and tried different screws and they seem too long.
Slims
How is this gun holding up?
To be honest, it doesn't see a lot of action and I baby all my guns. Always clean my pistols immediately after the range, even if only firing a few rounds. So, I can't speak to any type of wear and tear. But it still fires as nice today as it did day one and still looks like new. Roughly 400-500 rounds later. Finish has held up as have the tolerances. Hope this helps.
Upgrade the sights.
😁😁😁 sudyord verygood 👍👍👍
Great video question can you help I'm looking for a iwb holster for this gun?
Thanks! I’m not much of an IWB carrier, but as far as quality is concerned - never gone wrong with Black Rhino Concealment. Can be customized is several ways for the right fit and look.
Echo Delta - I am sure you have tried different carry options with the TCP, how do you prefer to carry it? OWB, IWB? What holster do you like?
Without a doubt, owb. I'm a big boy, so I'm kind of limited on any iwb options anyway. That said, it's small enough to get away with owb, and a helluva lot more comfortable too.
@@EchoDelta2A Which holster do you like to carry it in?

Can you buy one from Dan wesson or do you have to find one online? I really have to add this one to my 1911 collection.
Try searching gun.deals
They will show you anywhere online that it's listed
What holster are you using? Kinda hard to shop for
The Southern Trapper custom. They have long lead times but worth it. If you're in a hurry, I'm convinced that the Craft holsters built for any railed 4.25" DW would work as well. You may need to work the gun into the leather for a day or two, but should be a nice fit thereafter
1791 Gunleather is the one I use and one that I'm completely satisfied with.😊
I've read many of the complaints on the finish and I can tell you that it is mostly ignorance as to how to care for it. It works much like the finish on many of my Combat Knives and dlc watches that I own an wear. When they clean the gun with a degreaser or solvent, it removes the oil both on and in the finish. It turns a lighter shade of grey simply due to the oils being removed. A simple re-oiling brings it back to original color again. I am stymied that some have actually sent the guns back at quite an expense where nothing more than a thick oil left on for a few minutes takes care of the issue immediately.
On the Combat Knives I made before retiring, I used Rig Grease for shipping. It seems to stay in the metal more doggedly where many gun oils and other over the counter oils are made to vapor off their carrier making the finish look dry.

Great info! Yeah, I was baffled as well. I always rub a thin coat of oil all over every pistol I own after cleaning, just to protect whatever finish it has. I thought it was a common practice lol. Guess not.
I also love the fact it only has a one-sided safety
