My LGS had a SS Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob (.45acp) in and I fell in love with it. After checking it out a couple of times I went ahead and put some money down on it. I read where DW is discontinuing the Valor series and I figured it was now or never if I wanted a new one. I've never owned a 1911, but I've always wanted one and this one just felt right. So who has experience with these and how do you like it? I am stretching it a bit financially to do this and I might be looking at selling a gun or two to actually make it happen. The layaway plan at my LGS is incredible and if I decide to bail on this it isn't going to really hurt much. I have quite a bit of time to ponder this decision without putting any real money into it. So what do you guys have to say about these? Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 | ||

Best production model 1911 made. Hand fitted parts in forged frames. As close to a custom shop 1911 without paying twice as much. Worth the expense at this point in time. It will be the next "Python" in value. | |||

Bought mine 2nd hand (20 rounds thru it). Great 1911. Also have DWs in 10mm and 2 9 mm. Have 5 Colts and a SA. DWs definitely best. | |||

got2hav1, that is a beautiful pistol! I am also interested in how many rounds guys felt were required to break in their pistol. 200-300 is what seems to come up somewhat consistently.

The pistol I put on layaway is the commander size. To my eyes it just hits that sweet spot. Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 | |||

I have around 100 rounds thru mine. Cleaned and oiled it good before shooting and it has been flawless during that time. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

Hmm, guessing the one at OT they had in the magazine stands Had it been duty coat I’d have it right now. I thought they were a little high on price, but as you pointed out, their layaway makes it easy to just say yes. | |||

Yes sir, that would be the one! I like the looks of the SS models the best, but after learning more about that Duty Coat I have to agree that it is probably the way to go. I also agree in that OT is definitely on the high side of price for that pistol. Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 | |||

I have the standard grip (non-bobbed like RogueJSK's) Valor Commander in both .45 and 9mm. They are excellent, well made guns. They are pretty much the only 1911s I take to the range nowaydays. I've thought about getting the V-Bob over the years too but since I don't carry 1911s, I decided to just stick with the standard grip. I'd probably still buy a V-Bob if I ever stumble upon one locally. I'm sure you're going to love it. 十人十色 | |||
