WTB Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm's First run "# of 150" guns. (serial numbers 1-150) or even just the "Red Eye" black grips.

I have several already, #70, #105, #106, #111, #118, #128, and #134 (along with 204). I would like more of these if they are in near mint condition. I am also looking for just the black panel grips with the "Red eye" DW logo also.

So, my highest wants are Dan Wesson Razorback 1 of 150 series. Others include:

Dan Wesson 10mm CCO

Dan Wesson Bobtail 10mm

Springfield Omega Match 10mm

Bren Ten SFD (special Forces Dark) 10mm which is an all black gun.

Accessories:
Dan Wesson Red Eye grips (came on the early Razorback's, they were black with the DW logo in red).
I am also looking for Springfield Omega barrels (I have 10mm,  .400 Cor-Bon, and .45 ACP. I'd like .40 S&W and .38 Super, maybe others. What have you got?

Not only extremely well crafted, it shoots even better than it looks.  By significant measure the most accurate pistol I own.
It's fitted amazingly well.   I've had a number of 1911s over the years and still own two of them.  All were very good, reliable pistols from very reputable manufactures.  However, none were even close to the Razorback.  In addition to the Razorback in 10mm, still own a SIG Tac Ops in 45acp.  SIG is a fine pistol and have no plans to part with it but it's not in the same league. Unless you got a huge pile of $$ sitting around for a fully custom 1911, Dan Wesson & Razorback model in particular about the best bang for your buck IMHO. 
Close to a thousand rounds through it and 0 failures (ftf, fte, light primer strike, jam or any other bobble).  Fed it FMJ, JHP, mild loads, max loads, Underwood, Buffalo Bore and it's eaten everything without a hiccup.   Reliability coupled with supreme accuracy.

Thank you for the feedback.  I may look into a Razorback.  I like my Guardian.  I do agree that only my pre 70 series NM and a Garthwaite built Commander I have shoot better than the Guardian and not by a lot.  Have a Tac ops that I've not had time to put together with accessories and break it in.  But once I do I expect it will become the new under headboard gun.  May look at the striker delete.

Striker delete should have read F.P. block delete.

I was able to pick up #102.  It has everything with it including test target, letter, brochure, case,etc.  Can't wait to test it.  Have you found a target load you like?

I have done a complete dis assembly and clean on this Razorback.  I find the barrel rifling most interesting.   The leading edge or left edge of the left hand rifling when viewed from the chamber is radius about half the length of the barrel.  It is normal at the crown.  The right is more vertical.  I have never seen this before.

Somehow I lost track of this thread. Sorry about that. I just spent $12.5k on 3 shotguns (in one package) so I'll be a low on cash for a bit, but I am still looking.

All of the early RZ-10's (Razorback's are TIGHT fighting. So much so that many of my 1 of 150 needed shot a couple hundred rounds before they became reliably. The ones I shoot regularly, all out-shoot my abilities. I initially loved the stainless with black grips and red logo. To my eyes, it just 'popped'.

@Hairbol, if you ever decide to part with #102, let me know. Anyone else, I'll try to keep better track of this post this time.  ??? I added Notify this time...
