Nice pistol Chief

Beautiful Clyde. How well/badly will an Ed Brown BLUE bobbed MSH look on the Black Duty finish?

Jim, I had Dave HH my Springer and I carry it almost every day in a Custom Holster made by Lane that is Lined, and I must say that his HH Treatment hasn't worn off at all...........
As for being BOBTAILED I like it alot but that is me, some people don't like it...............BUT for CCW IMHO it is a Must.........
If you are having it BOBBED get the whole gun HH or Duty Treated, I like Blued Guns, except the Blued 1911's IMHO show scratches and wear pretty darn quick from holster wear,,,,,,,,,That is how I feel........

That really is beautiful, Clyde. I've bobbed my Mimber Pro Raptor,and of course the CCO is bobbed a bit and I really like it too. Agree with you regarding concealing for carry also. I should think it makes for a more comfortable shooting grip but does it affect the balance of the 5"? Is Dave Severns a member of this forum?

IMHO no it doesn't take a way from the balance of a 5" 1911. yes, Dave is a member but since he has his Gun Shop and Gun Smithing job he doesn't come on here, But check out his website.
Send him and e-mail, and see what his back log is Like, and let him know that I told you about him and His Custom Work, Quality..............

Also to let you know are Dungeon Rat AKA (Lane) makes some really Great Gun Belts to soon as I get my COTEP Belt Buckle I Plan to show off his Holster and Belt all together........... I like his work alot and he also has Great Quality and CS...................
Clyde
Thx, Clyde. Will let you know how I make out. Ryan, SARGE's Grips is making a matching pair for the CCO and Valor. Need to see where were at with that project and determine if have time to change to bobbed for the V. You've been a big help and I appreciate it very much.
Best,
Jim

Clyde,
I did catch up with Dave today and decided not to put that much $$$ into a project like this. Mike's Suggestion seems to have more merit when I analyze it more thoroughly. Really appreciate you talking me through this. Thank you. You're a good man.

I'll throw in on this thread. I would not bob a Valor. I think it would take away from the resale value of the firearm, if that is ever your intent. Far better would be selling the Valor and buying a V-Bob.... or even better, keeping the Valor.... and buying a new V-Bob for carry.
just my honest opinion... my 2 cents... and I'm "just sayin'"
DaFadda
And... man I really thought I had a picture of Clyde's hand there!
Thanks, Mike. Sound advice and I appreciate it. I certainly get more than my $.02 worth on this forum. Wish I was knowledgeable enough to contribute more.
