Dan Wesson 1911 Valor Vbob Now with range report

[Bad_Bowtie]

Ive been wanting to pick up a DW1911 ever since a member here let me fondle his Dan Wessons a couple years ago after I bought a Kimber Eclipse from him. I found this one on Buds. Ordered it Monday night, and it arrived at my ffl today. It was a trade in but you can barely tell it. Plus it saved me about $300 on a new one. Cant wait to shoot it!

Good thing you got there before I did, or I would really be broke now.

You really can't go wrong with a DW.  :up:

There's just something awesome looking about a bob-tailed 1911. Gorgeous pistol!!

[DWARREN123]

Very nice pistol. Do let us know how it shoots.   :up:

Just stepped up, DW really is a step above most production guns in this price range. I love my full size melonited Valor.

Yep, Im already wanting another. Maybe a Razorback in 10mm. At the rate I've been collecting, that would probably cause a divorce tho. Oh well, I can dream. Edited February 12, 2015 by Bad_Bowtie

Congrats on a nice pistol!  A DW is one of the 1911 pistols I'd like to own.

Finally got to shoot it today, went by Buds in Sevierville to try there range for the first time also. It was nice and clean and most importantly heated. The RO seemed like a nice guy also.

Anyways I put over 250 rds thru it without a hiccup. I tried a little of everything but it ate it like a Glock.

50 WWB 230gr fmj
50 WWB 200gr fmj
50 lead RN reloads
50 lead semi wadcutter reloads
Some aluminum cased fmjs
And most importantly 50 Speer Gold Dots

I wouldnt be scared to put this into my carry rotation,actually I beleive I will. Edited February 20, 2015 by Bad_Bowtie

I love the bobtailed mainspring housings. It makes them a lot easier to carry IWB and it fits nicely in the hand.
