Default Happy birthday to me....
Just picked up my birthday present, a black Dan Wesson Valor LINB with less than 20 rounds thru it! The previous owner got it to carry and realized it was too big for him so he sold it. This thing is beautiful and could pass for brand new. Came in orig. box, spent casing, lock, manual, oil bottle, wrench, match barrel and two mags and extra Dan Wesson Cocablola (sp?) grips. I feel like I hit the lottery.

OH, its got Trijicon sights on it too. I thought these came with the Heinie Ledge sights. I wonder if this was an option of some kind.

Can't wait to take it to the range and try it out.

Thanks guys, I figure you only turn 50 once so what the heck. Maybe I'm having a mid life crisis?

Oh, boy! Wait till you hit 60. It only gets worse

Happy Birthday, and great choice of presents!

Yes we all turned that a while back! Some us us turned over 60....... Mine was in November but that's ok! I'm still young and pretty at 62! Well..........young anyway. But I'm just like the fat girl at the prom, I'm just happy to be here.
Enjoy the gun, I'm sure it's beautiful

Congratulations , you just scored big. It sounds like you got an 09 model. I think the sights were changed in 2010. I've got an 09 Valor also I bought new, they are just fantastic pistols. You bought a very fine 1911, enjoy it Happy Birthday also!!

Let us know how it goes with your New Valor! They're a Great 1911!
No one else has done it, so here goes:
