The past several months I have been spending more time with my 1911 guns, they are all government length (5- inch) in 10 mm and 45 ACP.

I was looking at the mid-tier 1911's as a next purchase. The ads for the Springfield Armory TRP Classic put this quest into a higher gear.

Over the years I have owned 1911's from Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, Rock River, and several custom 1911's; these include a MEUSOC clone built by a friend @ PWS, and a Wilson tuned Colt Combat Elite & Colt Series 70 Gold Cup. In looking at current prices I really don't want to spend $3K plus for a new 1911. I have heard many positive things about Dan Wesson 1911's and after shooting a few (Valor, V-Bob and Guardian) here the past several months I am impressed.

Question for Dan Wesson 1911 owners. What's your take on Dan Wesson products, any issues or concerns? Are they worth the money?

I have a line on a gently used Valor in 45 ACP and if that falls through, I will take the plunge and get a new one.

Thanks
