DJPoLo Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Here is my wife, Beth's, brand new gun from Dawson Precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 That thing looks sweet. I really like how the radiuses on his flutes and cuts match everywhere, like on shred3. I don't know what benos and others would say about that thumbrest, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 I don't know what benos and others would say about that thumbrest, though. For a relatively new shooter, it forces her to attain a perfect grip every draw and that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a relatively new shooter, it forces her to attain a perfect grip every draw and that's a good thing. That's what a fat safety is for. You rest your thumb on it. Beth, your blaster is very cool. Have fun breaking it in! Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I like it, but the grip on a gun named "Scooby 27" needs to be brown with black spots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcschwenke Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 The pistol looks great! What length slide is on it, a commander? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 The slide is somewhere around commander length (about 1/2" shorter than a 5") when Dawson gets done with it, but it starts out much longer and lots get left on the shop floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the weak hand position more than the strong hand. I agree - the phat safety keeps the strong hand in position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Miguez Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 That is a good looking gun. I am going test fire one at his place after the TX limited. It will probably be my next open gun. P.S. That Scooby color change on the grip looks cool. What program did you use to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Very nice looking gun, if Dave built it, I'm sure it'll run nice too. I'm not sure I appreciate the extra desire I now have for a full-house Open gun. Thanks....I think! $$ Hey Blake, you actually posted more than 3 words!! We're family man, you can share you secrets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 That Scooby color change on the grip looks cool. What program did you use to do that? I used Adobe Photoshop 7 on a Mac. It's what I do all day at work (mostly) so it just took a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Miguez Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I went test fire Dave's Stroker Mini-Open gun today. I tested it along side of his older open gun with the lonnnnnnng comp ( the one I use now). On the timer it is faster then the long gun, esp when it comes to trans. between targets. Not only faster but more consitent hits on the target. It looks like I will shot the nationals with it, it is a great shooting gun. About the thumb rest, it is a good idea and will try it out. My first impression of it is that it keeps the gun in control more then without it. I have to adjust it a little for my hands but Dave said he will be coming out with an adjustable thumb rest. Those are my thoughts on the gun. P.S. it also shoots great on plate racks at 85 yards,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Abrahams Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Chet, as you know im in the process of ordering a Dawson, i noticed that you and your wife went with the DP2 compensator. have you heard anything about or tried out the DP2 TJ (two extra side ports)? apparently it is supposed to help keep the dot tracking staight up and down. i dont know if this would make a difference in muzzle flip (more gas out the sides instead of up???) thanks, William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
