I don't think DW has used full length guide rods in quite a while.

The picture at their website, for the Pointman 45 at least, shows a GI recoil spring plug, which should indicate a GI length guide rod.

Pointman 45 PM-45 - Dan Wesson Firearms
The same handgun as our Pointman Nine, but chambered in a .45 ACP, the Pointman series is built for the range, with an adjustable target rear sight and fiber optic front. Its forged slide has our inverted top rib running between the sights to reduce glare, and has front and…

Sort of depends on which Dan Wesson you are talking about. I have an early (Ser. No. below 200) Dan Wesson Pointman but it was made by Dan Wesson before they were purchased by CZ-USA I think.
It had a ramped barrel and it did come with a FLGR, but I changed that out as I do with any gun I might carry.
The frame, IMO, is one made by Jericho Foundry (or perhaps even sold by Chip McCormick).

Sorry for the quality of the pic - I'm not all that great at it.

Went back to the range today for the second session with my new PM-9. This time deviated from proscribed DW breakin by running a total of 124 rounds instead of 50: 50 rounds of BB 115FMJ, 50 rounds of BB 147FMJ, and 24 rounds of Underwood 124JHP (one of my favorite carry loads). I wanted to see how the pistol performed with 115 and 147 bullet weights. Seemed like my pistol preferred the 147 a little more than the 115. All, including the Underwood load, ran 100%. As for the sights, after my tweak of the rear sight, POI is on POA with a 6 o’clock hold at 7yds. No malfunctions of any kind. Next step is to clean and lube and get back out there for session three with mostly carry loads. I continue to be impressed at how soft the recoil is with this pistol. It may be just my imagination but seems like the slide returns somewhat slow. It doesn’t stick like some reviewers have commented - this slide runs super smooth. After more breakin I might experiment with a 12# wolf spring.
