When police departments approached DW to build a more reliable, durable 1911 to replace what they
had been carrying, DW developed a model just for them. Additions that made it ideal for law enforcement
also made it perfect for home defense, so we gladly offered it for sale to the public.
The frame sports an integral 1913 Picatinny rail, 25-LPI frontstrap checkering, undercut triggerguard
and recessed slide stop to enable the installation of laser grips. Equipped with an ambidextrous thumb
safety, extended magazine release and magwell, the Specialist is operator-friendly. It is finished off with
a set of G10 grips that guide the hand into the beavertail and hold it there. The Specialist ships with two
8-round magazines with bump pads and is available in either a matte stainless finish or our black Duty
finish, which makes for an especially hardy pistol that scoffs at everyday wear and tear.
The forged stainless steel slide wears our 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. Available in Commander and
full-size variants.
