Detailed Features 

 
The 10mm AUTO chambering gives this pistol serious ballistic performance for target shooting or personal defense. Fiber optic sights front and rear let you pick up the target quickly across different lighting, and the adjustable rear means you can dial it in at your preferred distance. 
 
The G10 grips hold up to wear and provide a secure grip in most conditions. The Tritone Black finish resists corrosion. An ambidextrous thumb grip safety works for either hand.

Owners of the Dan Wesson Kodiak 10mm Tritone frequently praise its build quality and craftsmanship. The Tritone finish is a consistent talking point -- both for its looks and its durability. The 6-inch barrel gets credit for reducing felt recoil and improving accuracy, and the fiber optic sights work well in varying light.

Opinions on the 10mm caliber split along use case. Hunters and target shooters tend to appreciate the power and versatility, while casual shooters sometimes find it more than necessary. Ammunition availability comes up occasionally as something to consider before buying.

Ergonomics are generally well-regarded -- the grip is comfortable for extended range sessions. The main criticisms are weight (it is heavy for a carry gun) and price, though most who bought it feel the quality holds up the cost.
