Special Features

• The 6.03-inch barrel gives the Bruin a 1.03-inch length advantage over a standard 5-inch 1911, adding 60 to 80 feet per second of muzzle velocity over comparable loads fired from a government-size pistol
• The ramped barrel design provides a fully supported chamber, which is a critical specification for feeding and safely containing the higher pressures generated by full-power 10mm hunting loads
• The optics-ready slide is milled to accept a direct-mount micro red dot, giving hunters and field shooters the option to add a fast-acquisition optic without a gunsmith or adapter plate
• The tritium and fiber optic combination front sight delivers a glowing green reference point in daylight through the fiber optic element, and switches to tritium illumination automatically when light drops
• The fully adjustable rear tritium sight allows precise windage and elevation tuning to match specific 10mm load performance at hunting distances, a feature rarely found on production 1911s at this level
• The pyramidal flat-top slide profile forms a built-in serrated sight rib between the front and rear sights, cutting glare and keeping the sight picture clean across the full 9.7-inch top surface
• Both front and rear cocking serrations provide positive grip for chamber checks and manipulations even with gloved hands in the field
• The reduced-radius firing pin stop is a performance tuning feature that smooths the hammer fall cycle and contributes to the Bruin's clean factory trigger break

Practical Benefits

• The extended sight radius of the 6.03-inch barrel and long slide makes precise shot placement at hunting distances more achievable than with any standard 5-inch 1911 platform
• The fully adjustable tritium rear sight lets you dial in your point of impact for your specific hunting load, whether you run a 180-grain or 200-grain 10mm projectile
• The optics-ready slide lets you mount a micro red dot for low-light hunting situations or early morning stand use without any permanent modification to the pistol
• The combination tritium and fiber optic front sight works in any lighting condition you encounter in the field, from bright midday sun to dusk, without requiring you to swap sights or carry a backup
• Whether you carry the Dan Wesson Bruin (01840) as a sidearm on a backcountry hunt, for woods defense, or as a dedicated 10mm range and competition pistol, your investment in a forged stainless 1911 built to hunting tolerances shows in every shot
