I’d be interested if it is a 1911 project led by Vickers.
I wonder if DD will ask RRA why they got out of the 1911 business?
:rolleyes:
If their handgun is anywhere near their rifles in terms of quality, I would be in.
And a better trigger than any of the above.
Okie John
that was my thought too… “please not a 1911”
I dunno what i’d like to see in the handgun market… I honestly feel like at the moment glock, s&w and HK are filling all the voids pretty nicely…
i mean there’s the constant cries for a single stack 9mm, but it seems that most of the ones that come out end up somewhat hated.
And a better trigger than any of the above.

I think a Glock trigger is just about perfect for a combat pistol, IMHO.
I’d take it over a 1911 trigger for a carry/combat gun any day, and HK LEM is very, very usable.
So I’d have to say a good trigger like that would just be about perfect.
If it is accessories it would probably be a matter of when they go into full handguns.
Would be nice to have them make handguns that give a high quality option for those niche rolls that have few good options but tons of trash. Something like a single stack 9MM pocket pistol, alternative revolver to S&W J-frames, etc.
If going in the compact and full sized semi-auto area then hopefully its something so all around solid for reasonable $$$ that pumps fresh blood in and makes other manufactures work that much harder for better products.
yeeyow that is some good connecting the dots maybe right there. They would have to get that right and they would sell a freight car full of them.
IMHO I think Mr Vickers involvement would make this very appealing.
I’d say that his involvement is reasonably possible given his role in the HK45 and the Nighthawk / Vickers 1911 signature gun.
A semi-custom Vickers / DD 1911 that is spec’ed similar to a Springfield Pro in terms of quality and attention to detail for under $1800 would be very nice.
I agree about Glock trigger’s.
That is my take as well…although by the time it gets to Canada it’ll be $3500.
But although it is not clear to me exactly what DD intends to build, it seems like the obvious conclusion that I would enjoy jumping to is that Larry Vickers is possibly advising them on a production 1911.
That would be appealing to me. There is no way a relatively small outfit like DD is going to replace Glock and I doubt they would try. They certainly could market a niche gun, though, and there is no niche gun like a nice 1911.
Perhaps they are talking about an AR15 based pistol? Or possibly pistol accessories?
I would be surprised if they jumped into the saturated 1911 market, but it would be interesting to see.
+1
You beat me to it, if it’s anything 1911 related, i would hope LAV has a hand in it.
My thoughts exactly
1911 1911 1911 blah blah blah, get over it and move on to something new and innovative for a change instead of another “me too” 1911
I would be all about another 1911, especially if Vickers is involved. Then I would have a true pair. BTW there is a reason why the 1911 has been around for 100 years and is still being used every day.
.45acp Tack Drivers with the best trigger in the game are obsolete?
go back to posting on glocktalk bro.
Whatever DD makes, if it’s anything like the quality of their rifles and rails - they’ll be just fine. Probably just going to be accessories though (at first).
An affordable, reliable 1911 around $800 would be great.
Another $1500+ 1911…no thanks.
1911s are cool, but we don’t need another rehash of that.
However, why not take the 1911 concept and modernize it? Think single action - crisp trigger out of the box, thumb safety, polymer frame, steel double stack magazine, all ambi and with less parts… Don’t care id striker or hammer fired.
