New in box Dan Wesson Optic Ready Specialist 1911 in .45 ACP, part # 01799.  When police departments approached us to build them a more reliable, durable 1911 to replace the ones they had been carrying, we developed a model just for them. The additions that made it ideal for law enforcement also make it perfect for home defense, so we gladly offer it for sale to the public.

A full-size 1911, the Specialist Optics Ready is chambered in .45, and loaded with features to satisfy a public servant’s special requirements. The forged Stainless Steel Slide wears our inverted rib with a Tactical ledge rear sight and green, tritium lamp, 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 magwell, the Specialist Optics Ready 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 Optics Ready ships with two 8-round magazines with bump pads and the Duty Black finish, which makes for an especially hardy pistol that scoffs at everyday wear and tear.

All models come with a cover plate and, appropriate for model, fixed or adjustable, rear sight. Optic plates are available at the CZ-USA web store.
