Really liking the DW valor in blued carbon steel. Now to find a dealer local that I can look at one.
Really liking the DW valor in blued carbon steel. Now to find a dealer local that I can look at one.
So I got t look over a Colt Gold cup today and Wiley Clap Government recently at a small gun show. Both are nice pistols but I would go with the Wiley. Still cant find a local dealer who has a Dan Wesson, and Dan Wesson to check out. There is a big gun show in 2 weeks so maybe I will get lucky and find one to compare. I am really interested in the DW but wont order one without handling one first. Antone know of any dealers in SE PA that stock DW?
Wiley clapp is a very nice pony, plus its a series 70
They are not released yet, but settled on a Dan Wesson Valor in blue carbon steel. I called DW and they sent me a few photos of one of the first finished ones and its a great looking pistol. My dealer called their distributor and asked to be first on the list when they ship. Now just the wait.
you ant go wring with a Colt USMC
I have a GCNM. Love the gun. Couldn't stand the all black sights. So, I changed the front sight to a red fiber optics sight. Really like the contrast now. And, it shoots better than I do. Love everything else about the gun. Changed out the wood grips to G10 aliens. Very happy with the gun.
I also own a Dan Wesson. It is still in break in time. I really like the gun as well. It is very tight and flawless looking for sure. A step above.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Because of the DW sights, I actually shoot the Colt better. But, will be replacing the front sight with fiber optics also. We will see how that works out.
For around 1100+ you can get into a Dan Wesson in the Heritage model. It is a great value, but it isn't feature rich. I've seen the PM45 and PM9 range models in the 1200-1400 range.

I finally got the DW Valor in blue. It a gorgeous pistol,with a great fit and shoots better than I can. Out of the first 500 rds I had 1 FTF. After I had it a day I noticed that when held just right in bright light there is a small dull spot in the finish. I am really bummed about it but DW service say they will refinish. After handling the pistol and dealing with there service department, I an confident to buy another.
