Dan Wesson Wraith Details<\/h2>\nWesson makes some of the finest 1911s on the planet, like the concealable Dan Wesson ECO<\/a>. With the Wraith, Wesson and CZ-USA \u2014 Wesson's parent company \u2014 add to its roster of suppressor-ready pistols.\n\nA full-sized 1911, the Wraith features a 5.75-inch, factory-threaded barrel. It also features High Night Sights to accommodate a suppressor, as a suppressor usually blocks out some or all of the standard 1911 sights.\n\nWesson made the frame and slide on the Wraith from heavy-duty, forged stainless steel. The manufacturer also coated the frame and slide in a distressed version of its Duty finish, while finishing non-distressed parts in black.\n\nThe Wraith's G10 grips feature an edgy and very functional stippling. The extended grip and thumb safeties make the pistol easy to use, even with gloved hands. For added support, Wesson included sharp, 25 lines-per-inch checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing. The Wraith's undercut trigger guard provides a higher grip for better handling and stability.\n\nThe Wraith's ejection post is lowered and flared for better ejection of spent brass. Forward slide serrations provide a solid texture for racking back the slide. The beveled magwell means easier and faster magazine changes.\n\nA bonus for all you handgun aficionados hellbent on caliber selection: The Wraith is available in .45 ACP, 10mm, and 9mm Luger.\u00a0 All pistols come with a thread protector. They also ship with two magazines, a Signature Series pistol case, a barrel bushing wrench, one cable lock, and an owner's manual. Check out the specs and MSRPs below.
