My Valor Has a New Playmate!!!
 

I picked up my CCO today, downside...too late to hit the range, upside...I can go tomorrow and Tuesday is Military Appreciation Day! Clyde

What a huge difference in weight between the two. Looking forward to seeing how the CCO handles compared to the Valor. Already field stripped the CCO before I signed for it. She is put together tighter than the Valor when I brought that home.

Will post up pics when I get a chance. Both are bone stock for now but I do have a set of Sarge's Amboyna Burl grips on order for the Valor. I'll have to see how the Stock grips handle for the CCO, giving some serious thoughts to a pair of VZ Gators for it.

That is all for now,

Congrats on your new CCO MEZ!!!:)

Don't be surprised if the CCO has less felt recoil. I don't know why it just works that way.

Congrats on the new girl in your life.

You knew it was coming...

P.S. Congratulations on your new Dan Wesson!

Here they are!!!
 

I put 100 rounds through the CCO and had roughly 1/2 dozen FTF. Yes I ran it wet. That is okay, I was afforded the opportunity to practice my malfunction drills. LOL I know I still have to break her in. I put roughly 100 rounds through the Valor as well.

After a decade of shooting the M9 in the Corps I didn't think I liked the Heine Straight Eights on the Valor until I went back to 3-dot sights on the CCO. Might have to change the CCO to the Straight Eights as well. For some reason I'm a much better shot with the Valor.

The difference in the grip thickness between the two threw me off a bit but I will say I had fun firing both today. Will post up more later...I have two "ladies" to clean up.

Great picture MEZ!!!:)

nice pair of dirty girls.....:D

nice pair! :)

6 FTF is not good. Mine has never failed to feed.:(:(:(:(:(

I'll head back to the range tomorrow and see if I can figure out the FTF issue. I don't know if it was me limp-wristing it or my support hand inadvertently cupping and pushing up on the magazine. It is going to take some time getting used to smaller yet thicker grips. The CCO and I are still in that "get to know one another" phase of our relationship, nothing a couple of hundred more rounds can't fix. :D

Nice weapons! And I can't remember the last time that a new owner didn't instantly accuse the pistol if any failures occurred during early break in. This is quite refreshing, MEZ.:cool:

The Dirty Girls Have New Shoes...
 

The FTF has calmed down some, I've got 500 rounds through the CCO, lost count on the Valor.:o The only feeding issue I have on the CCO is it will jam a round 3/4 of the way into the chamber and bulge the side of the round. It is a real bitch to clear that mess and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing that. Probably something I'm doing...

The Valor is wearing Sarge's Grips in Amboyna Burl (these could get addictive). The CCO is wearing VZ's Gator.

Sarge's grips are outstanding AND addictive. When I go to his site, I could spend myself into debtor's prison.:insane:
