Custom Valor 10mm, WOW!
 

Just unwrapped it, and cleaned off the factory oil. I ordered this in late April, and it was finished last Friday. Then, off to Kansas City (CZ), and then to my FFL today. Worth the wait, I think. Will run the first 10mm rounds down the pipe next week while on a bird hunting trip to Maine. (Not at the partridge, at targets)

There was a bit of a wait for the 10mm slides to arrive, Keith and the rest of the Dan Wesson folks did a great job getting this done for my trip. A big thank-you to them, and a wonderful addition to my M1911 collection. Col. Cooper would approve, I imagine. I know I approve.

Sorry about the attachment quality, and the status of the safety, you get the idea. Fit and finish are wonderful. Ivory grips go on it tomorrow.

I'm sorry to tell, but no good. I see some serious issues that may come up during a test fire stage. Tell you what, to make sure everything is on the up and up, send it to me for testing and evaluation. No need to thank me. That's what we Cotepers do for each other.



Do you guys think he'll fall for it?:D

Lovely piece and a formidable Partridge slayer. :D I felt over armed as a kid shooting them with my Iver Johnson .22 revolver right here in Maine. With the 22 they would sit there head bobbing and laugh at me if I missed. When the 10MM cannon goes off birdy heart attacks! No bird shot in the breasts. Winner. Seriously, Gaff, I hope you have a great time, a successful hunting trip and enjoy your Valor for years to come. I am going to still be here next week so the goofy old fart snooping around the beech nut groves may be me. I, too could be a heart attack casualty should your cannon go off in my vicinity. Pony

If you don't trust him...send it to me and I'll run the break in for you :D

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!! I have 5 DW 10mm's I'm sure I could do a much better job of checking it out for you.:D

Thanks!, I think...
 

I appreciate the test run offers, but I've had these 500 rounds of 10mm hardball just waiting to fling themselves out of the Valor at 1050 FPS, and they would be SO disappointed.

Seriously, thanks for the well wishes. The North Maine Woods is a big place, I don't think too many folks will be disturbed by the Valor.

Have a great weekend!

Nice!!

What was done to it besides the alternate chambering, and other more obvious mods?

VERY nice ... congrats ! :D

Nice weapon.

OUTSTANDING..the 10MM is great...nice one!
