If the new DW is as well built as the older ones I've handled (but not fired) it should be a top notch handgun. I still tend to favor revolvers over semi-autos even though they have become much less popular with the younger shooters of today than they were "back in my day".

I'm currently teaching my 13 YO grandson to shoot accurately and safely handle guns of all types that I have available for him to try, and even though he shoots my various revolvers very well for his age and limited experience, his 1st choice is always my 65 year old Colt .45 acp 1911. I suppose Mr. Browning new a bit about handguns when he designed a pistol well over a century ago that is still a popular seller on the US market, and is favored above all others by 13 YO grandsons.

BTW, I didn’t intend to hijack the Dan Wesson thread by bringing the old 1911 into a conversation about revolvers, it just entered my mind automatically. (pun intended)
