Dan Wesson Valor

I like the Vigil. I’d like it more with a memory bump or whatever it’s called on the grip safety.

There are still Colts worth taking a look at too: )

I have its older brother made in 1982. Sloppy fit, bad tool marks, crude sights, but so far it’s eating everything I feed it.

I had it for sale here but decided to keep it. I think I’m the first person to shoot it since it left the factory.

Going to make a few changes but not too many. The grips will be the first to go.

I thought that too until I had it in my hand. It's actually the same distance so I don't feel a difference.

That does it. A DW Valor is coming home with me around Christmas time when the funds will allow it. Almost too much 1911 goodness in this thread....almost.

If I had to do it over I would have ponied up the extra money for the duty finish.

Good to know, thanks.

It's definitely an awesome finish. Best I have seen. The slides on my two Vigils have it too.

They are discontinued but I'm sure you can find one. I got mine for a crazy good deal on Armslist.
