[Carl in GA]

There I was this past Monday evening, drooling on the case in the local Gander Mountain and minding my own business, when I came across a whole shelf full of Dan Wessons. Well, I screwed up and asked to take a look at a SS Valor.

Racked the slide: unbelievably smooth. Pulled the trigger: crisp like a glass rod snapping. Checked the fit and finish: tight and well put-together with beautiful, classic 1911 lines. Needless to say, within ten minutes I was handing over my credit card.

Now I need some range time. At least that'll give me something to do once I go on furlough over this government sequestration nonsense.
