Valor Durability??

[SmokeyMonkees]

Finally shot the Valor.

We also took out a Series 70 Colt and a Kimber Raptor?

The Valor shot the best for everyone. The valor ejected the brass about 7-10 feet to the right. The Kimber ejected the brass about 3 feet to the right and the Colt aimed the brass at my forehead.

With new factory ball ammo 230gr S&B and Winchester the Valor ran flawless and liked to rip a ragged hole off hand at about 15 meters.

I had bucket with loose rounds at home, and filled up a sandwich bag with a variety of hollow points. There was one fail to feed when the Valor had weak ejection and the Valor failed to feed a ball round that was next in the magazine. Not sure what ammo preceded it, but it did feel remarkably weak. This was with a Colt factory mag, wadcutter style feed lips.

I had to adjust the rear sight slightly to the right to move the group so point of aim met point of impact. Not perfect, but this is why it is an adjustable rear sight.

Rapid fire is extremely easy, and all the checkering keeps the gun from moving around in the hand.

The long ejector does make ejecting unfired rounds unreliable and this could be a deficit if a round fails to fire and I need to chamber a new one. The Kimber and the Colt did not have this problem.
