What’s Included
- Dan Wesson Pointman Major PM1 (PM1B FS) .45 ACP pistol
- 1 factory steel 8-round 1911 magazine marked 'PointMan U.S.A.' with basepad
- Case
The PM1B-FS configuration pairs a blued steel slide and frame with sights suitable for a clean, carry-length sight picture. The right side of the slide carries an oval cartouche reading "PointMan Firearms .45 ACP," and the pistol is marked Norwich, New York, U.S.A., with an oval "NYI" marking present.
Barrel and slide details stand out on this example: the 5-inch match barrel is explicitly marked "MATCH" on the hood, and the slide includes both front and rear cocking serrations. A lowered and flared ejection port complements reliable extraction.
Controls and fire-control components are classic performance-oriented 1911 features, including a single-action operation, a skeletonized long three-hole trigger, and a commander-style skeletonized hammer. Safety features include a single-sided thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety.
Ergonomics and furniture are consistent with the model: checkered hardwood grips with DW medallions, a smooth (uncheckered) front strap, and a non-railed dust cover. Sights include a front sight and a dovetailed rear.
This pistol is identified by its factory model code PM1B FS. One factory 8-round magazine accompanies the pistol.
