DJPoLo Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 WOW! That looks fantastic! I just put in my order for a Practical Advantage a few weeks ago, and I'm already getting impatient. How does it shoot? I could not be happier. The gun is so accurate that it's scary. The Dawson guns that I own are hands down the finest handguns that I have ever shot. I am truly proud to own them. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRBean Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Very nice. I'm really suprised not to see more of Dave's guns around. You here alot about the Brazos and Bedell guns but the Dawson and Briley guns seem to get overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 There's a lot of folks around CenTX shooting Dawson guns... and Dave seems to have plenty of work to do, so I wouldn't say they're overlooked... Perhaps not as popular on this forum as others, but there's a bunch of 'em out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had one of his custom guns. You should sell me one of those.. The single stack isn't a full blown custom job...just enough to get me in the SSD game. I'm sure when Dave sees my post it will be Christmas 2015 when I get it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Why would you buy a "stroked" gun & then un-stroke it w/ a lot of buffs? Seems you are defeating the advantage you paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralChang Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 The gun is stroked so you can use the shock buff and not take any slide stroke out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 In other words, it works like everyone's that does'nt use shock buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred, I am shooting one of Dave's mini gun Stroker II's with no shock buff.... what combination of buff/spring are you using and ...do you notice a huge amount of difference with the buff vs without? While I am throwing questions out there......how much of a "feel" difference between a 7 pound and 9 pound spring do you think there is? and yes....almost 40,000 rounds through this gun and it shoots amazing....have known Dave since his old Florida days and he does amazing work...LOVE this gun!

WES Right now I'm running a .090 Red Buff with a .100 Alumabuff over it. Springs usually in the 8-9 lb range so I can run steel loads or IPSC loads without changing anything but the distance brass comes out. I like the AL+rubber buff setup since it cuts the slam and lasts forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Shred...I did a search and could not come up for an online source for these two buffs, can you point me to an ordering link? Thanks...

shred Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 The .090 Red Buffs are no longer made to my knowledge. I have a small stash, but will have to switch to something else when that runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthomas001 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Razz, My name is Mike Thomas and I have 2 of Dave's Practical Advantage limited guns. I bought both of them about one year ago, trading in my Para P-16 ltd's. I have to tell you, the guns are amazing..Extremely accurate, and very reliable. Pending you have the right mags, these guns are sick reliable and accurate!!!! They are the best thing going in limited guns...period - in my opinion. If you get one, you will not be disappointed. To quote Sheldon Carrouth (I think), "the guns are rather boring.....They go bang every time you pull the trigger, eat anything you feed them, and deposit all the bullets in one nice little ragged hole"!!! Good Luck! DVC Mike Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks mthomas001...Thats the kind of stuff a guy who just spent $2400 wants to hear. Can't wait to get mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthomas001 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hey Sheldon, Yea - The Dawson guns are doing great. The only problems I ever had with them were magazine related - not the gun(s). Once I bought the Grams guts for the tubes, the feeding issue went away. The guns run like well oiled machines. I have a good friend that shoots with me here in the Middle TN area and he is about to call Paul at Dawson to place his order for one. Dave D knows what he's doing.......
