Having thinned the herd earlier this year, I found myself with a lot more room in the safe that's starting to get filled. From the top: Below the P210A is a Dan Wesson LASD-DSP commemorative Specialist, and a Dan Wesson Valor Bull Barrel in 9mm.



While the Beretta below isn't a new pickup, it did just come back from Allegheny Gun Works this week and is what prompted me to take some pics this morning. A WC Brig-Tac Vertec converted to frame safety and single action. 9x21 and .30 Luger barrels fitted as well:

Nice looking collection. I love the Beretta conversion.

Very nice Dan Wesson Bull barrel. I believe they were the last Valors made before DW “stopped production. Is the Specialist 9 or 45?

Where are you finding these pieces now?

Thanks! I’ve been looking forward to getting the Beretta back for quite a while.

Covid did a number on the timeline and when it was almost finished, the slide was stolen while on the way back from getting Cerakoted. That was disappointing since I had the rollmarks removed and replaced with markings similar to those on the Centennial.

Thanks. It certainly did seem like the bull barrel Valors were the last made. It and the 210A came from GB. The Specialist (9mm) was purchased from Firearms Outlet Canada and imported by Borderview. Both were great to work with.

Very nice acquisitions!

Allegheny does great work. They drilled out and installed a fiber optic front sight on my 1994 Beretta 92FS Centurion. And installed WC rear sight.

Cool!

9x21 and .30 Luger have been my favorite as of late.

Thanks! I agree that Josh & Co. do great work. They’re reasonably priced and relatively quick to boot. He converted a Centurion to SAO for me a couple of years ago, but, I just couldn’t get used to the grip (no radius on the backstrap) and ended up selling it.

I’ve shot plenty of .30 Luger, which I like, but, this will be the first time trying 9x21 for me. I’m not expecting too much of a difference between it and 9x19.
