Most accurate of my...
Most accurate of my non-custom 1911 pistols and just as accurate as my custom fitted pistol with match barrel. When I finally decide to stop carrying my Kimber Ultra Plus, I'll be switching to this V-Bob. It is heavier and so it's easier to shoot than the light 3" Kimber as well as being more accurate.

Great 1911. Buds was...
Great 1911. Buds was great at shipping and handling, and I had no problem with my FFL dealer (DTS Tactical Moss Bluff, LA). I have primarily used CCI Blazer 230 grain FMJ, and Federal 230 grain HST. The magazines it came with work great. I have also used cheap Rock Island Armory Magazines (8-round) with no issue in addition to some Wilson Combat mags. Shoots great, and the modifying the trigger reset is a breeze. Take down is typical of a 1911. I used it primarily for fun and concealed carry. Using a Black Rhino IWB holster with G-Code clips gives minimal if any print. As compared to polymer pistols, it can be slightly heavy. But that's the advantage of a 1911: if you run out of ammo, you can always beat the bad guy to death. TLDR Great 1911. Great Experience with Buds. Highly Recommend Purchase if you're looking for a self-defense/concealed carry pistol.

Flawless. Night sights...
Flawless. Night sights are bright on this one, but I recall some others having issues with them being dim in the other reviews. As far as the gun itself, I lubed it up with some FP10 before taking it to its first range visit per the manual's instructions on break in. Brought a mixed lot of bottom of the barrel cheap old ammo with me, some steel case, some aluminum, some brass. Cleaned it after the first and second 50 rounds, and shot the rest without any cleaning. 1 failure to go into battery on the 3rd or 4th magazine. That's it. Shot amazingly well. The guy in the lane next to me asked if he could shoot a magazine through it, was very impressed with it as well. Apart from that, I'm a little sad to see that as of me writing this review (1 day after I picked it up) the price has dropped around $150. I could have put that to work on some more ammo and range time! Regardless, I highly recommend the valor lineup. I can't speak for other dan wesson 1911s, but from what I've heard you can't really go wrong with any of them.
