Do you guys think DW quality control is going downhill? I have had 11 flawless DW pistols and I think they are the best value for the dollar. Have things changed ? Those of you that have a newer Valor and have had an older Valor what are your thoughts in comparison of the two? i have three or...

I consider myself lucky to have access to private land to shoot. Though it is not mine, it is my friend and neighbor’s, and I more or less keep an eye on it as he is gone sometimes for a year or more at a time. It is a heckuva hike, about 600 vertical feet in a half mile if you believe the...

I am reluctantly offering up my LNIB (never been fired) Dan Wesson Limited Edition Government Valor, chambered in 45 ACP. Prior to purchasing this last year, I contacted DW Customer Service to confirm this model has a carbon steel slide and frame. The slide is blued (not Duty Treat) and the...

This one followed me home today. Gosh it feels great!

As the title states, if you could buy 1 Dan Wesson in 2021, would you buy a used Guardian, or a NIB duty coat Valor VBob? Price difference pre-haggling is $150, meaning the NIB Valor Bob is $150 more. I don’t mind waiting on shipping for the used Guardian, and the Valor VBob would be a long...

A week or so ago, I started a thread about my gift to myself this year, a DW Valor, Limited Edition, blued slide and Case Color Hardened frame. I received many kudos from fellow Addicts and I appreciated all of them. I mentioned that I had ordered some Mammoth Ivory grips from @SKGRIPS and...

Hello, So before I go and buy another rifle I don't need, I'm just going to see if any addict has a Dan Wesson Valor in 45 they want to sale. I prefer the duty coat version. Shoot me a message with pictures and your price and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

I am looking for a trade in value for my Dan Wesson Valor 45ACP. I am wanting to trade in my Dan Wesson Valor for a Sig Legion X5 at a LGS and wanting a guesstimate on what my Valor should bring. Description as follows; * Wesson Valor in 45ACP with approximately 400 rounds through it * Black...

After having sold my Valkyrie a couple of years ago, I’ve been out of the 1911 game and have been looking hard at the Valor Commanders w/bull barrel listed on GB. At that price point it was getting tempting to stretch the budget a little more, so, I decided to do the opposite and buy one of the...

I’ve been in the market for a DW 9mm commander for some time, and in my hunt for the best deal, I’ve come across a used Silverback in 10mm for $1600 shipped. It does have a small blemish on the bottom of the guide rod area, but other than that looks barely used. About a year ago I had the hots...

I’ll probably get a Guardian or wait till I can afford a Wilson, so here’s a bargain priced Valor. https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/876181553 .

I'm thinking about selling my Dan Wesson Valor color cased frame to get a Nighthawk that my gun shop has. Talk me out of it, or in please.

Need funds for another project so this LOW round beauty is up for sale. Comes with buckeye burl/resin grips from Cherokee Hills as well as Wicked Grips "Gambler" grips. Trigger has been tuned to a 3-3.5 lb pull so its very crisp and stays on target beautifully. there is a very faint idiot mark...

Gentlemen I have been looking at several options just wanted to see if you guys had and personal experience. For the range/outdoors camping and sometimes carry. Looked at DW, Fusion and Colt Combat but would have to adjust the Mainspring housing to make it bobtail($200-$300). Thoughts? Thanks...

I want to thank all who commented and supplied leads on my WTB post last week. A big thanks to @WVsig for supplying me with this lead. And another big thanks to @gtnc for parting with this beauty and making a seamless transaction. If I had opted for overnight delivery and my FFL was quicker in...

Just starting my search, .45acp is preferable.

Up for sale is my Dan Wesson Valor blued Government 9mm that has the following work completed: - Hard Chrome finish from Accurate Plating & Weaponry. Brushed flats and matte rounds. The pistol is unfired since returning from APW and re-assembly. - Kart 38 Super barrel, bushing, and extractor...

Got a new Valor. Color Case, Bone grips, and smooth as melted butter. Many thanks to BBP!
