I looked around and researched buying this Dan Wesson Valor 1911 and other 1911s for quite awhile. Eveytime I went to look for the best price, it was always Buds. I love this gun . What blew me away was that I ordered it online from Buds on Tuesday and my FFL called me on Thursday to let me know I could come pick it up. Took just two days !!. The gun case and contents were in perfect condition. I can't imagine going anywhere else but Buds

Paid for on a Tuesday and picked it up Thursday at my FFL in Cincinnati. This 1911 is just as great as all the reviews i've been reading and watching for a long time now. I had a Heritage model and I think that it is the best 1911 you can get for around $1,000.00 but i wanted the front strap checkering and a little nicer finish. The valor I found out is more than that. It is tighter than the Heritage I had and the overall quality is amazing. I shot it at the range today and had Zero malfunctions and I was very pleased that it made me seem like a better shooter than I am. I started with a ruger 1911 and sold that for a Sig traditional 1911 then traded that for a Heritage to sell that a get the Valor. Each one was better than the one before. I love this Valor.

Simply amazing 1911! No doubt the top production model. If you are looking for a top quality 1911 in the 1500$ range this is your handgun! Trigger job is beautiful and the tolerances are super tight fit & finish. Truly impressive piece.

Fit and finish on the Valor 1911 is high quality. Not a flashy firearm but it is very accurate. Trigger pull and break are consistent and predictable. Weight and balance are comfortable. Initial range work indicate that the firearm is dependable and accurate. Cleanup after range work was not difficult. I put both re-loads and factory ammo through the piece without issues. The firearm is as I expected for one at this price point.

This is a high quality and very accurate weapon.
Mine arrived defect free and it is now I guess officially broken in with 500 flawless functioning rounds.
I have read some amateur reports of galling but I personally believe that is operator care malfunction.
Use the supplied oil during break in which should last at least ten cleanings then use manufacturer recommended oil sparingly.

The Dan Wesson Valor is now the most well-crafted gun I own. It shot flawlessly at the range using low-cost Armscor ammo.I look forward to shooting it for many years to come.

Excellent firearm. 300 rounds with only a single malfunction in the first few mags fired. Very reliable. I had to take a star off for DW's customer service because there was a nasty burr in the frame (that doesn't affect function) and some rust spotting on the barrel which arrived liberally coated in oil, although the gun was very recent manufacture and sold as a premium gun, not as a blem, and DW didn't want to hear about it. The pistol's overall build is tight as a drum, all tolerances seem to be absolutely perfect.

Fit and Finish is really good. The trigger pull on this 1911 is the best of any 1911 that I own (All production 1911s). I have not had a chance to get it to the range yet, but I expect that if accuracy follows the rest of what I have seen so far, this one will be a keeper.

I now own 4 1911s!!! sig scorpion, Springfield trp, Wilson CQB, and now a Dan Wesson Valor. I shot all 4 today (1100 rounds Winchester 230 gr fmj and Blazer 230 fmj) All 4 guns are dead accurate but the Valor gave me the best groups. My Wilson has the best trigger out of the group and the sig is the best value My TRP shoots great but was the only one that jammed on me (twice). The build quality of the DW is every bit as good as my Wilson slide to frame is tight and the controls are excellent. If you want Wilson type quality at a fraction of the price the Valor fits the bill. My TRP has always had a jamming issue (1 jam every 300 rounds or so) and will be sold in the near future. If you cant afford a valor take a look at the Sig Scorpion it is a solid reliable well built 1911
