Dan Wesson Pointman .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel | 8+1 | 01943

The Dan Wesson Pointman is a precision-oriented 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 ACP, built on forged stainless components with a brushed finish and cocobolo wood grips. It pairs an adjustable rear sight with a fiber-optic front sight and an inverted top rib to reduce glare. Ergonomic touches include an undercut trigger guard, 25 LPI front-strap checkering and a beavertail grip for a secure hand position. For a reflex optic under $1,000 that complements this platform, consider a Holosun HS507C-style red-dot; it preserves sight picture and target acquisition without covering the classic top rib aesthetics.

Applications: precision range and target shooting; competition-style 1911 matches or training.
