Default Range Report-DW Valor Commander...

Took my Custom Valor Commander out to the range this morning... SWEET, SWEET pistola!!
Took 3 boxes of 50rnds ea (WinW, Blazer, Fiochi-all 115gr)... set the first target at 10-yds, second 3" box at 15-yds and fired away.
After the 150-rnds, a totally FLAWLESS shoot... ZERO 'anything'... smooth as 'butter' and ACCURATE (after a couple 'get-acquainted' rnds).
All my DWs are .45s so shooting this platform in a 9mm was super Soft and SWEEET.
Bottom-Line... Pistola is very accurate, was flawless and real pleasure to shoot!
For me, DW scores gain. Very happy with this 'custom-build'.

Have several 1911s but all .45s... this was my first venture into a 9mm on this platform.
DW makes a fine pistola and this one is A+ quality... very tight, very smooth, extremely accurate and great/soft recoil.
Definitely happy with the purchase!

I too took the plunge into 9mm waters with a DW Guardian. It is everything you say it is. Good luck with your new pistol!
