new to 1911s and my first is a VALOR
 

so i wasnt a big 1911 guy having only fired a few buddys paras and R1. then went to range and was shooting a another friends DW715 i was like this is the best balanced revolver i have ever held he said if i like this i should try his 1911. so i did and it was love at first sight. that night went on line ordered a black valor 5" got it today! cleaned and lubed her up as any good lover would then put 200 thru her. FLAWLESS. only problem im having is she is way more accurate than i am, but will be working on that mostly getting used to the grip safety. i am loving this gun and wish i would have know about them earlier

Congrats on finding the 1911! You'll come to find out its an addiction like all of us have......and welcome to our Forum! Lots of things here to learn and lots of great craftsmen to dress up that new gun!

Lookin' good!

Your first 1911 is a Valor? OK.... now you're spoiled. It will be hard for you to appreciate any of the lesser guns going forward. NOPE... I won't name the "lesser guns"... you'll just have to handle them all and you'll understand. Congratulations!

The skull is a nice touch.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the new Valor.

range report coming soon, headed up north with some friends and plan on putting 500 thru her over the weekend. i have a bunch of Corbon 230gr, 200gr, 165gr im going to be testing out to see what she likes or doesnt. anyone else use corbon? and if so what is your gun running?

Congrats on the gun. I have a Razorback 10mm that eats Corbon. It eats anything though.
