Default 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

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Range report with pictures would be in order now.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
