A full-size 1911, the Specialist is loaded with features to satisfy a public servant’s special requirements. The forged stainless steel slide wears Dan Wesson’s popular Clark-style serrated rib with a single amber tritium dot in the rear sight and a green lamp with white target ring in front. The frame sports an integral 1913 Picatinny, 25 LPI front strap checkering, undercut trigger guard and recessed slide stop to enable the installation of laser grips. Equipped with an ambidextrous thumb safety, extended magazine release and detachable two-piece magwell, the Specialist is operator-friendly. It is finished off with a set of G10 VZ Operator II grips that force the hand into the beavertail and hold it there. The Specialist ships with two magazines with bump pads and is available in either a matte stainless finish or Duty Black finish, which makes for an especially hardy pistol that scoffs at everyday wear and tear.
