Kicking off what we plan to be a regular but especially limited series, the Heirloom is apiece of art. Instead of one of our standard finishes, the frame sports a gorgeous color case hardening - the result of a heat-treating process that leaves a layer of carbon ina brilliant and random color pattern with golds, greys, blues, and purples. An ornately-engraved slide sits atop this fine frame, with ample scrollwork and minimal text in typical Dan Wesson fashion. Front strap and backstrap are checkered 25 LPI for the ideal amount of grip, and a set of smooth French walnut grips give a beautiful contrast. A classy set of sights are perched on the round-top slide with a serrated U-notch rear and a brass bead out front.
