I like it...
Just wish I was in the position to drop $2,300.00
I kinda wish there was a brain in that color scheme.

You and me both..
Looks like a worthy successor to my Bruin.
I'm getting the black one for sure

I love my DW's!
But, I wonder what makes the KODIAK more expensive than the BRUIN? Kinda odd that they have 2 6" 10mm's.
I'd love to compare my SA TRP OPERATOR to both DW'S.

I was wondering the same thing. A friend enlightened me that the Kodiak has a bull barrel.
Oh my. I love my Dan Wessons. I may have to add one of these to the collection. It would be nice since these are being marketed for hunting if they were milled to accept an RMR or other type RDS.

If I'm not mistaken, the BRUIN also has a bull barrel.
At least the KODIAK doesn't have that stupid angled guide rod plug. :-*

No Bruin is standard profile barrel

So ... anyone get 1 yet?
It amazes me how greedy these companies are. I know damn well it doesn't cost close to $2,500 to produce one of these guns. Imagine how many they could sell if they lowered the price.

If they would make more with a lower price then they're being the opposite of greedy by keeping the price high. Dumb, maybe, but not greedy.
Patriot's absolutely right, plus, then I could afford one : )
IDK, while I'm not claiming that the retail price is a steal or anything, DW does put alot of work into their pistols handfitting quite a bit. And as an cheap azz SOB owner of 3 DW's, I say that they are worth the price.
That being said, I definately wait and look for deals.
Lol, and yes, your likely right, I just need a better J.O.B. : )

Actually the price is reasonable. Dan Wesson is the next step up to the Wilson Combat and Night Hawk Custom 1911 pistols. I paid $2,200 for my custom made DW Stainless Specialist Commander and almost $4,000 for my Night Hawk Custom Recon Enforcer (both 10mm). Both have night sights, magwells, match triggers and match barrels. And that DW Specialist Commander has a slide to frame fit smoothness that is just about as good as the NHC as well as the match trigger that is just as good as the NHC. So, if the Bruin and Kodiak are anywhere near as good quality as my Specialist Commander, then you're getting your money's worth. And if you comparing these Dan Wesson's to Springfield Armory, Sig, RIA, S&W, Colt, Kimber, or LLama, then that is only good for a big laugh.

Hey, I understand havin a hard time affording a DW. Or anything above $1K. Hell, even a grand is a bunch.
I ESPECIALLY ENJOY SOMETHING THATS A GREAT VALUE.
Shoot, today I bought the GF a Taurus G2c. The purple 1. Ya, she has a thing for purple and this gun was a match.
That's one of the things I really like about my RIA Ultra FS HC 10mm, the price was right, and I can shoot it well. This thing is a tank. As long as I dress around it, carry isn't an issue...granted, driving with it on my hip isn't the most comfortable : )
