Default My Second DW...

Picked-up my second DW, a new Valor a couple weeks ago...
WOW, what a pistola!! Only about 150 breakin-rnds thru but it's been a flawless, dead-accurate shoot... and well worth the extra $$s!
Been familiar with DW 1911s for a couple years, but have always had a hard time breaking that $1000 price barrier.
Have a couple Colts, which are awesome shoots but got them a few years back when they could still be had in that $750-800 range.
Anyway, my DWs have been awesome, quality shoots for the $$s... I'm now drinkin the Kool-Aid by the pitcher!...
And will probably look to round-out the family with either a CBob or VBob some time in the future.

I vote for the VBOB, Black Duty Treated.
That Duty "Treatment" is No Joke ! Tough and virtually scratch resistant!
Much tougher type finish than ANY spray on bake on like Wilson, Ed Brown, etc. MUCH Tougher. I should know, I own them all.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.
