Advice on First Purchase

[DavidJayUden]

Here's my $.02.
Look at WW1 DWM's. They are a beautifully made commercial grade items pressed into military action. The fit and finish seems to be second to none. If they could talk they'd have great stories to tell, and best of all you can find very nice ones with mismatched magazines around for $1200.
And don't forget artillery models. Again excellent craftsmanship and added grace. My experience is that they will eat any loads too. Very unique items at the shooting range that will set you apart from the glock crowd.
Well you got what you paid for...

This sounds like a great idea, and I must admit that I'm leaning toward a WWI model. Believe me, I love to be set apart from the Glock crowd, and between my P.38s and soon-to-be-gotten Luger, well, I think you get the picture.

A DWM from the WWI era would do quite nicely, actually. It sounds like a great place to start.

Thanks ever so much for the input.
