Congrats! As you now qualify to join COTEP, feel free to visit the Dan Wesson forum at 1911forums.com.
My recommendation for when you actually have the pistol in your possession: field strip it, clean it, lube it, reassemble, and shoot it. Then shoot some more.
My DW CBOB .45 has about 2k rounds down the pipe without a single hiccup. It's almost as if J. M. Browning designed these pistols to be
used.
