I have a Valor bobtail. It didn't care for the trigger pull. I had a local smith put a flat-face trigger and new hammer/sear in it then had it ion bonded (sp?). It's nice and carries well although heavier and not as carry-friendly as my Colt Defender which I generally carry. Bobtails aren't for everyone--shoot one before you go to the expense of buying one.
