BBBBill, next for me will be one I've had for decades but never read, by Tad Szulc, title is something like, Fidel: A Critical Portrait. ...the bottom line is that insiders certainly don't have only good things to say about Fidel.

I'm working on a Dan Wesson now. What a pleasure. Everything is straight and parallel, no waves, lots of quality in every square inch. The mag chute is by God wire EDM'd in. Trigger cuts and trigger bow cuts are EDM'd. I guess they are not cheap but the quality and attention to detail-- gotta be a good value.

I don't know exactly where to draw the line between custom, semi-custom, and "off the shelf" but in whichever category the DW's are, I've been noticing them for maybe ten years now-- they sure seem like good stuff. Still a ways to go on this one but I will report on finding...
I'll have to look up that book. I've always been a voracious reader.

I've considered buying a DW, but circumstances have not permitted a first hand examination. I do hear good things. I did read a blurb somewhere about the mainspring pin hole possibly being in a slightly different location.
