I'd been considering a Valor Commander before they were discontinued, so I looked for the closest alternate I could find...all steel, Duty Treat, no Bob, and no rail, but it seems to no longer exist.


Without going with a custom, a Vigil Commander seems to be a solid option, since the aluminum frame does offer a solid benefit. There's also the Guardian, which can also be had in 38 Super. I've shot a couple of Bobbed ones, and it didn't seem to make much of a difference in the hand.


What's a fellow to do?
I own both the guardians in 38 super and in 9mm. In retrospect, I would not have purchased the 38 super, since there is virtually no difference in the two rounds with the current stock of defensive 9mm cartridges available. The reason I bought the 38 super is that my wife absconded (stole) my brand new 9mm. I get to clean it and shoot it, but it is HERS! So I bought the 38 super a few weeks later..... lol

Default V-Bob

So i know i'm a little later to this party (thread), but DW has indeed brought back the Valor series. I'm the proud owner of the new style V-Bob, all SS and it's likely the best 1911 I've ever owned. Feels great, looks great, and shoots great. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Highly recommend.

That’s great news as I’ve always wanted one of those. Got any pics?
