Valor vs. Les Baer UTC
 
You're wanting to buy one for EDC. Which one? Why?
Thanks,
Jim

Valor because you are getting one hell of a gun, as good or better than the competitor, for hundreds less.

What he said.

skosh69 10-14-2012 09:43 PM

Well, just to be different, I'll say get the Baer....funny! I want both...hahahaha

Grouse 10-14-2012 09:44 PM

Valor, Guardian, or vbob.

heck, one in a shoulder holster, one in a hip holster and the guardian in an ankle holster .








and what do you mean pick one!!!!

There is no wrong answer here IMO. Both are terrific and are on my wanted list. The Valor is higher on my list simply because Dan Wessons are quite simply the best bang for the buck in the production 1911 game.

I'm sold on the Valor's. Mine is an 09, it has the older sights, it's accurate as hell, and totally reliable. It's the nicest 1911 I've handled, I 've shot some Wilson's, but no Les Baers'.

Valor. I have both.

The Valor, and use the $$ difference on bullets!

DWHAM 10-17-2012 05:07 PM

Love my Valor and Guardian

glazer1972 04-01-2013 07:47 PM

Valor. The Baer has the chunky frontstrap.

I too vote Valor! I have Wlson's, Ed Brown's, Dan Wesson's.
My Valors are my favorites! Fit, Finish, Accuracy, overall quality!
And.....Price! The Dan Wesson's are The Best 1911 for the money, period.

Better than Nighthawk? Asking because I am considering a NH.

I would not say "better", but I'll say "equal to" a Wilson Combat in Fit, Finish, overall quality, and accuracy. Wilson does have outstanding customer service. Can't speak for Nighthawk.
I don't own any Nighthawks. But I am reasonably certain they're like Wilson's!
You really won't go wrong either way. All I am saying is you'll get an Outstanding Quality 1911 with a Dan Wesson Valor for a lot less money!

I went with the Baer UTC. I have not been sorry about the decision.
