Late in the spring I somehow managed to get a custom Silverback under the wire. DW cut off new Custom orders for a while, till they can catch up on production demands.
Ordered it on May 1st. FFL received it June 25. So it only took 7 weeks or so
Order sheet is minimal.
Standard 10mm Silverback all duty treat frame and slide with flush and reverse crown barrel.
(Not a fan of two tone guns)
The Gun seems to be exactly as ordered. Even came with a somewhat blended thumb safety.
The Trigger is crisp, clean and just over 4 #'s.
Many thanks to Keith and all the folks at Dan Wesson.

Very nice. Reliable I assume, since no mention to the contrary.

Thankyou.
I've only had an opportunity to put 100 hand loads and 50 Federal rounds thru it but so far it has been perfect.
Nice DW right there...Sweeet! :D
Looks like a shooter!
Very nice pistol. I've been thinkin hard about gettin one myself. Does their custom shop have a canned list of what they will do to a pistol or will they do pretty much whatever you want?
There's also an article on the Silverback in the Oct/Nov issue of Guns & Ammo Handguns.

Yeah. It's more limited than most of your Semi custom makers but more than Les Baer.
If you ask for caliber changes, and changes to items they offer on other stock guns, they will accommodate you.
But everything they make is stainless, so if your looking for a carbon steel pistol you must look elsewhere.
You should contact Keith at Dan Wesson to work up a custom order.
Dwe,
Great! Thank you. Will do.
