This Silverback is a full-size Government-pattern 1911 chambered in 10mm with a 5 inch match-grade barrel and standard barrel bushing. It runs single-action only and feeds from 8-round single-stack magazines for a 8+1 capacity.
The two-tone construction is a standout: a brushed stainless slide over a Duty black nitride stainless-steel frame. The slide features rear cocking serrations only, ball cuts, and a serrated top rib. A checkered recoil spring plug and clean barrel bushing setup reinforce its classic 1911 layout.
Controls and ergonomics are set up for confident handling, with a manual thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, long lightened trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. The frame wears checkering on the front strap and a flat mainspring housing, plus a flared and beveled magazine well for efficient reloads. Black/gray G10 grips with an X-pattern provide a firm, consistent hold.
Sighting equipment is fully night-capable, combining an AmeriGlo tritium front with a Trijicon-branded adjustable tritium rear. The slide is marked Silverback, with the barrel hood marked MATCH and 10MM. The frame is marked DAN WESSON FIREARMS NORWICH, NY U.S.A. Manufactured in the USA and discontinued after the 2017 model year, this model carries catalog SKU 01995 and factory specs of approximately 8.75 in OAL, 5.5 in height, 1.45 in width, and about 40.8 oz in weight.
