I'm going to say buy a Valor. It has everything you would want in a 1911 and the price can't be beat.

Good luck deciding.

I recommend you enjoy it!

I would go with a CCO, I'm on my second one, to me they are just perfect. I hardly shoot my Valor, I just like the CCO so much better.

In 45, I have the 2004 Patriot, which is essentially a Valor. It is a tackdriver. I also have the CCO, which I absolutely love. I think it is pretty much the perfect concealed carry 45. BUT....

I can't say enough about my wife's DW 9mm Guardian... It is of the same quality as the CCO, with a deeper rounding of the grip heel. BUTTT... I also can't say enough about my DW Guardian in 38 Super. Truly the best of between the 45/9mm debate. Except... finding ammo for the 38 Super is a PITA unless you reload (which I do).

Every gun I've mentioned is a tack driver, well built and finished beautifully.

BUT.... if I had to bug out, I'd grab the CCO. (I was going to say I'd grab my Glock, but Nahhhh). Touch base with Severns Customs and ask Dave what he has in stock.

IMHO go with the CCO and if not look at trying to find a CBOB which both are easy to conceal,

Well, I hate to say it, whichever one I get it will be a safe queen. Only to brought out occasionally to play with. I have my daily carries. So, size won't matter.
Thanks all. Keep it coming.

Trust me . Size matters. ROFL....

However... if size is not an issue, I would go with a full steel Valor in .45acp. I don't know if they are still installing a full length guide rod, but its not necessary. I've replaced mine with a govt size guide rod and the gun will outshoot both of us any day of the week. Good luck!

Considering a new Cbob costs more than a Vbob, I would NOT recommend buying a Cbob. Just my .02.
