CZ-USA and Dan Wesson have added to the company's suppressor-ready pistols with the DW Wraith, featuring a 5.75”, factory-threaded barrel. The Wraith features High Night Sights to accommodate a suppressor, which typically blocks out some or all of the standard 1911 sights. 

A full-sized 1911, the DW Wraith is available in .45 ACP, 10 mm and 9 mm Luger. The frame and slide on the DW Wraith are made of heavy-duty, forged stainless steel, and are coated in Dan Wesson's distressed version of the gun maker's Duty finish. Non-distressed parts are finished in black.  

G10 grips, an extended grip and thumb safeties contribute to enhanced handling. For added support, sharp, 25 lines-per-inch checkering is found on the front strap and mainspring housing. The Wraith's undercut trigger guard provides a higher grip for better stability.

The Wraith's ejection post is lowered and flared for better ejection of spent brass. Forward slide serrations provide a nice texture for racking back the slide. A beveled magwell translates to easier and faster magazine changes.

The Wraith comes with a thread protector, and ships with two (2) magazines, a Signature Series pistol case, a barrel bushing wrench, one (1) cable lock, and an owner's manual.
