Great Review. The magazines shown are Metalforms . Keith told Me that they are shipping with either Metalform or Checkmates. I like the Metalforms, but the Checkmates are better IMHO.

Excellent review. Good shooting as well. DW is producing some nice work and positioning themselves in a great market location with incredible pricing. Just below the WC, NH, EB level but far above the rest of the pack. The more I shoot my VBOB the more I am drawn to it.

My last two trips to the range, the VBOB got all the attention from the group. That tells me a lot. DW is making a very desirable gun, and I think it is safe to say these current pricing levels will not last.

A final thought. Many guns I have bought came with long lasting buyers remorse. Still to this day I regret spending what I did on a few Semi-custom 1911's. Not one instance of Buyers remorse for the VBOB. :)

Thanks edgehill... Just a great, thorough reveiw!...
But it's nothing us DW Valor owners don't already know...
My best 1911, no debate!

I Concur! I Like My Valors better than my Wilson CQB's. :D
At The Range, I've taken a Valor & a CQB and guess what, they shoot the same Tight groups at POA=POI
Valor: $1800.00 :D
WC CQB; $3000.00 :eek:
I can get 2 Full Size, Duty Treated Valors for about the price of 1 CQB.
I actually like the look and feel of My Valors better than my WC CQBs.
The Wilsons are GREAT, but $1200.00 greater than a Valor? Nope, not at all.
