Totally agree with Hopper. The Vbob is the carry version of the Valor, which is the Dan Wesson flagship 1911. I personally prefer the Duty Coat version, but that is quite a bit more expensive than the stainless. If you go with Duty Coat, be aware that certain solvents can ruin the finish, as I found out on my DW CCO
If you're looking for a great 1911, the Vbob or Valor are fantastic options. They offer great fit and finish for what you pay.[/QUOTE
Which solvents? I am oscillating on the finishes.
Reviewed a while ago its my primary CCW at this point.

Dean, I don't know if that picture is recent, but if it is... that duty coating has held up beautifully! My matte stainless finish was a little sensitive, as a matte stainless finish tends to be.
The picture on the brass pile is around a month old, I know the Duty Treat is expensive but I firmly believe it is hands down the best finish on the market. Heck the Duty Treat on the rails is still there that is how tough it is.
DC knows his DWs, and he's sworn more than once on the Duty Finish. It's proprietary to DW, and according to everything I've read on it, it's everything Dean says it is. Sheesh, that picture is certainly proof enough, that an EDC gun finish would hold up so nicely. And goodness, it's *still* on the rails, even?!? Wow.

I say get one if you have the chance. My CBOB has been a beast.
