Ok, most of you have already seen my 2010 Valor (Hard Hat) on the other forum... but here it is. I've got about 5k through it, and after I switched to Tripp 8 round mags, I have not had a single failure. I've been using it for IPSC and IDPA, so the front sight is now a Dawson red FO.

Finally got around to taking some updated pictures to reflect the changes to my guns. Here's the Valor with a Dawson fiber optic front sight (.180 x .125):

http://www.cotep.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=16&pictureid=112

Nice how do you like the Fiber Optic sight instead of a tritium night sight?

I have used fiber optic sights on my older guns before "and liked them" but have come to really like well made night sights.
I just ask because I may (one day soon) put a Fiber Optic front sight on my full size DW Heritage since it's more of a range gun / Target gun.

And did you install it yourself? If so did you use a sight pusher?

Thanks,

-Ryan S

Hey Ryan,

The Valor is my main USPSA and IDPA gun, and I like the FO sight for those purposes. My defensive guns have tritium night sights. For me, the main advantages are quicker front sight focus and transitions to the next target. For more difficult targets that require a deliberate followthrough, I don't think the FO helps much if at all.

Interestingly, I find that I like having the small dot on the Heinie rear sight.

I did install it myself, using the included aluminum punch, and a file. My Valor has a pretty tight taper, and I had to do quite a bit of filing, trying, and filing again.

Nice well thanks for posting and responding. I have been thinking of getting into some IDPA if I can find when and where they have them in the Kansas City area.
I might try an FO front sight on my Heritage and see how I like it.

Yea I would probably do the installation myself the same way you did - file and tap...etc I know sight pusher tools are real popular with sig's and Glocks...etc but truthfully I am not sure if anyone really uses them on there 1911's.

Anyways thanks for the post.

This was Wade's, and started out as a stainless model. He sent it off to Dave Severn and had the hard hat finish and a few other touches. It's my first 1911, and I am SO glad I didn't buy a cheaper one when it felt like I was never going to get enough money saved! As a long time owner of polymer centerfires and steel rimfire pistols, I just can't get over how thin this gun is. Only one trip out with it, and I'm already in love.

I really like the stock VZs. But in the interest of science, I decided to try shooting without that extreme. Got this inexpensive pair off fleabay and gotta call them a win. I'll definitely have a choice when I try the carry thing 'cause 100 shots downrange and the strap and MSH checkering did plenty to keep things happy.

So ... the pics ...

Beautiful Razorback's. I love mine in 10mm.

Old Navy

09-02-2013, 03:19 PM

I love them both, 38S and 10mm, they are under rated and see little daylight. I have a real love for them both, but the 38 Super is cats meow. Fast and harder hitting then a 45ACP, standard velocity for 130gr ball 1250fps in the early 1930's. Current SAAMI pressure is listed at 36,500, but loading manuals still show only show loads of max to 3200psi range and Hodgdon list max for +P at 34,600psi most likely thanks to lawyers.

I've loaded and shot +P in both Colt LWC and Dan Wesson w/o a SMILE or primer problem. I have 115gr loads that are probably about 1400fps or more. The hot 130gr loads are still light recoil compared to 10mm though.
