Kansas City, KS (June 13, 2022)<\/strong> \u2013 Specific characteristics are essential when it comes to a concealed carry handgun. The Dan Wesson Enhanced Compact Pistol (ECP)<\/a> and Tactical Compact Pistol (TCP) <\/a>check all the boxes for reliability, accuracy, ergonomics, and weight. Both compact 1911 pistols deliver serious firepower in 9 mm and .45 ACP configurations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Enhanced Compact Pistol is a traditional 1911 design with modern styling and enhancements. The ECP sports a stainless-steel slide and a forged aluminum frame, keeping the weight to a mere 29 oz. Tapered G10 grips and a bobbed mainspring housing enhance the pistol\u2019s ergonomics, affording shooters with smaller hands an easier reach to the trigger. A tri-topped slide wears aggressive side serrations for superior grip. Its top rib knocks down glare, while the new U-notch rear sight mates perfectly with the brass bead front sight for rapid target acquisition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tactical Compact Pistol includes the same performance elements of the ECP while adding tactical features like a 1913 Picatinny rail for a light or laser and a one-piece flared magwell for tactical reloads. TCP has a compact stainless tri-topped slide and aggressive slide serrations \u2013 modern, practical, and stylish additions. Its top rib helps reduce glare, and it features a new U-notch rear sight with a whopping .156\u201d wide notch paired with a brass bead front sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TCP\u2019s grips are also new, with a tapered profile \u2013 slim at the top and full-width at the bottom \u2013 giving shooters with smaller hands an easier reach to the trigger. With three facets that mimic the distinctive slide, their serrated features encourage a high, deep grip. The TCP tips the scales at just 32-ounces, perfect for daily carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bull barrel is inherently more accurate than thinner profiles. It increases the forward weight of the 1911 and slows down unlocking for smoother shooting. The ECP and TCP wear a match-grade 4-inch barrel with a 30-degree crown and flush cut for easier disassembly. Its recoil system uses a flat wire recoil spring rated for 15,000 rounds in .45 ACP: that\u2019s three times the round count of a typical 1911 dual recoil spring setup! Both pistols use a flat K-style trigger and a square commander-style hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Wesson Firearms\u2019 ECP and TCP compact 1911 pistols are reliable, robust, and accurate. Their modern styling and enhanced performance features make them an ideal concealed carry weapon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
