A few years ago I installed a Dawson Precision light rail on a Colt Delta Elite. As it was my first, I wanted to see how durable the install would be without silver soldering it, which is how I do it now. Well, it was plenty durbale, but the probelm was, I took it off to reblue the gun about a year ago. I forgot to loctite the threads, and when shooting it, I lost a screw.

I was hesitant to contact Dawson Precision for a new screw. I recently had a very poor experience with Les Baer, and I figured a large operation like Dawson might give me the runaround. I sent them an e-mail explaining the above, which clearly stated it was my fault for losing the screw. I wanted to know if I could buy one from them. I got an e-mail back saying they would send me one, and asking me for my address.

I replied with my address, and asked them to provide me with payment info. I never heard back from them via e-mail. Today I received 3 replacement screws in blue, and 3 in stainless, just in case. There was also a hand written note that was very pleasant.

What's my point? I thought I would mention this to illustrate the quality of people at Dawson Precision. These people do not know me, and went out of their way to make a customer from 3 years ago happy. I found this to be refreshing in a time when such exemplary customer service is unfortunately almost unheard of.

That's amazing.

The fact that I have to say that illustrates that for many, customer service is a lost art.

I had what started out as a bad experience made right with Dave and crew.
Last November I ordered a Fiber Optic front sight for a Springfield Armory 1911. I never did anything with it, sat still new in the package until this past May. I sold the gun and didn't need but wanted to get a FO for a SiG GSR. I called and spoke with a rep and asked if I could exchange the sight for one for the SiG and have them install it. No problem, so I sent them the slide and the FO to exchange.
Not know by me or the Dawson crew the front sight on a SiG GSR is not easily replaced, like most things on that gun things a just a little different. It was only supposed to to take a week, well 3 weeks later I was getting very concerned and after a couple of calls I spoke with Dave.
Dave explained that they had to stop production to make the sight because of the height and sight cut. They did that and then realized that I had ordered a .090 and they made a .125, so they had to stop production again to make the sight.
So all for a $50 sight and $20 install they stopped production twice to take care of me, plus shipped it back for free since I had to wait longer.
Great Service and will get my business in the future!!!

I have dealt with them just a little bit and I am impressed by the good manners, great customer service and good parts. It's so refreshing to deal with them!
