You Are All Bad Influences

Couldn't stand it any longer. I guess if I'm going to get into 1911s, I might as well jump into the deep end. Picked up a Dan Wesson Valor.

The trigger is beautiful. Feels nice in the hand. Will prep it and take it to the range for a break in period once I pick up some more ammo.

So what advice do you guys have? All my other handguns are polymers so I know I've got a lot to learn.

Yeah. Decided to pull the trigger so to speak.

outstanding. You'll love it, Andy.

Practice closing your fist..that's how a 1911 operates. As you close it, the palm disengages the grip safety, the thumb disengages the thumb safety, and the finger squeezes the trigger.

Browse the dremel room here for some tips, also. Congrats. Plus, I'm a bad influence for other reasons :p

Thanks, Mike.

Pig, I've known you are a bad influence for other reasons. I still remember what you asked me to do to Barbie the last times saw her. I'll check out the Dremel room.

Very nice. Congratulations on the first of many to come.

If you want to practice on one a little less expensive I'll be glad to swap with you for a while. Just until you feel comfortable of course.

Thank you, Howard. You are such a good friend to offer that.
