Very awesome Andy. Good shooting Lori. I'm not familiar with Valor. Is that the brand? If so is it a well-regarded one? Glad to hear the gun function as expected and that the trigger was great.

Valor is a model of Dan Wesson 1911, regarded as their "flagship" pistol.

Nice shooting Andy and Lori.

Good times, Andy....Happy your new Valor ran perfect. I have mags that don't always lock the slide back....I use it to heighten my awareness to my round count on the range. Shooting in the AM on a day of work, with your wife, both with new pistols.....life is grand!

Those are great groups, you guys are sharpshooters!


Is it me or does that target make it look like the bullets are keyholing?

Maybe, but the cuts look pretty uniform around the whole so it could be a cheaper cut of paper or if he was only standing 4 feet away that would explain that too. What kind of bullets may do that too....I would not be too concerned if the shots and groups are that good.

Thanks Andy. Nice report, nice shooting and a great day. Next trip rent Lori a DW ECO to try. She will love it in 9MM. It is her size and if it shoots for her as it does for me she will force you to sharpen up even more to keep up. It is a great little gun and a serious self defense piece for anyone. I like a cardboard backer with paper targets to avoid the tearing of the target paper. I am cheap so I use painters masking tape to cover holes from one exercise or gun to the next rather than burn up more targets.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
