Special Features
- Dan Wesson hand-fits each Pointman Nine at the factory, giving the 01942 a level of internal fit that most production 1911 pistols require aftermarket work to achieve.
- The inverted Clark-style top rib runs the full length of the slide between the sights, cutting surface reflection and giving the shooter a clean, unobstructed sight picture in bright lighting conditions.
- Flat sections of the frame and slide carry a soft brushed finish while the rounded sections are sandblasted, creating a two-tone contrast that is machined into the steel itself rather than applied as a coating.
- The long K-style trigger is a Dan Wesson design detail that provides a wider contact surface than a standard three-hole trigger, giving the shooter a consistent, repeatable pull feel across a match or extended range session.
- The skeletonized tactical hammer reduces reciprocating mass at the rear of the slide while maintaining reliable ignition on standard 9mm primers.
- Double diamond cocobolo wood grips are fitted panels, not a generic insert, delivering a firm hold and a traditional 1911 aesthetic that distinguishes this pistol visually on the range.
- The ambidextrous thumb safety allows right- and left-handed shooters to operate the pistol without modification, a practical feature for competition use where speed and consistency under pressure matter.
- The fully adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your point of impact for specific loads at competition distances without tools.
Practical Benefits
- The 5-inch match-grade barrel and factory-fitted action give the Dan Wesson Pointman Nine (01942) the kind of out-of-the-box trigger and accuracy that competitors typically spend hundreds of dollars achieving through custom work.
- The 25 LPI checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing locks your hand in place during rapid fire strings without cutting into your grip during extended shooting sessions.
- The beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard work together to place your hand higher on the frame, giving you better leverage over the pistol during a string of fire.
- At 41.3 oz, the all-steel construction adds mass that absorbs energy and keeps the muzzle tracking flat between shots during competition stages or timed drills.
- Whether you are shooting USPSA Single Stack, Steel Challenge, or simply want a precision 9mm handgun for serious range work, the Pointman Nine fits naturally into all of those roles without modification.
- If you have been searching for a factory 9mm 1911 that delivers genuine match-grade accuracy and hand-fitted quality at a price below full custom, the 01942 gives you that pistol without the wait or the gunsmith bill.
The Dan Wesson Pointman Nine (01942) in 9mm Luger is a proven platform and a smart addition for the precision-focused shooter who demands match-quality performance and traditional 1911 craftsmanship in a single package.
