Default The 10MM Caliber was the prime objective...

Having a Valor in 10MM was the main reason for this custom order. I have two other Valors (Both V-Bobs), and I am acutely aware of the quality that can be had from Dan Wesson for my capitol outlay.

So, 10MM bore, relieved slide stop pin, and enhanced magwell. The trigger came through at a crisp and exact four pounds (I did not ask for anything special with the trigger group). The Clark ribbing is standard on a 10MM slide. So, for the most part it is a standard Valor (Duty-Treatment). My choice of VZ Grips included. By the way, the barrel ramp is mirror polished.

Tomorrow, I leave for the North Maine Woods (4.5 million acres of trees and wildlife). Wednesday is opening day for birds, so Monday and Tuesday will be range days in the sand pit. Eight hunters, lots of ordinance including our 20's and 28 gauge shotguns. I just finished an .880 bore Black Powder cannon to "announce" dinner (picture attached). I feel it should be able to propel the .875 steel balls or empty CO2 canisters a good bit out into the lake.

If any readers think the 10MM Valor will be loud, I guarantee you, when the "88" goes off, bystanders will wish they were wearing their brown boxers.

Now, off to pack the avalanche.

DANG, that .880 bore Black Powder dinner "announcement" cannon is trick looking for sure !! and I'm sure, when you touch that 'bad boy' off, your comment of: "bystanders will wish they were wearing their brown boxers" will hold true !!
Good luck, enjoy your trip and be safe! .... post some pics when you return.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I didn't realize the Clark rib was a standard feature.

Very cool pistol for sure.
