Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Widely regarded as the flagship full-size 1911 in Dan Wesson's lineup, the Valor represents semi-custom precision crafting built on a production scale. Hand-fitted at Dan Wesson's Norwich, New Hampshire facility, the Valor utilizes forged stainless steel frames and slides built entirely without cast or MIM internal components. Finished in Dan Wesson's ceramic-based, ultra-durable matte black Duty Finish, the Valor incorporates a 5-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel, 25 LPI hand-cut style front strap and mainspring housing checkering, a solid aluminum tactical trigger, and Heinie Ledge 2-dot tritium night sights engineered for one-handed slide manipulation. Chambered in the devastating 10mm Auto cartridge, this model provides extreme flat-shooting power paired w/ bank-vault tight slide-to-frame hand fitting and match-grade trigger mechanics. Discontinued in this exact configuration, high-condition boxed examples of the Dan Wesson Valor 10mm stand as investment-grade icons among modern 1911 collectors.
This specific example is an authentic Dan Wesson Valor 10mm pistol bearing matching serial number 1701758 (SKU 01928). Chambered in 10mm Auto, it features a 5-inch match-grade stainless barrel, matte black Duty finish, Heinie Ledge night sights, and aggressively checkered black/tan VZ G10 grips. The slide displays the delicate, classic script "Valor" roll-mark, while the frame and slide showcase near-pristine Duty Finish coverage w/ virtually no operational cycling wear or handling marks. Mechanically, the hand-fitted slide glides smoothly on frame rails, the solid match trigger breaks w/ glass-like crispness, and the 5-inch match barrel bore remains mirror-bright w/ sharp, razor-defined rifling throughout. Offered complete in its original factory black Dan Wesson hard case w/ serial-matched end label ("1701758 / DW VALOR, 10MM, BLACK, 2DOT NS 8RD"), factory manual, literature, cable lock, and (2) total factory 8-round 10mm magazines, this Valor 10mm represents a premier, turn-key investment piece for 1911 purists.
