Thanks for the write up; I'm a fan of the valor but didn't know about duty treat; it sounds interesting. I carry a CCO a lot in the summer, and while I like my Wilson better it sure ain't $2500 better.
Ignore Alien Orders
DW uses 18.5 pound recoil springs in their 5" .45's.
I think DW is the the best 1911 out there for the money...I'm embarrassed to say how many I've owned.
I have an Ed Brown bobtail commander also, and while it's certainly a nice gun, I don't think it's $1000 nicer than a Dan Wesson VBOB.

I just put a black 9mm Valor on my Christmas list.
One thing I really like about the black Valor is that the finish isn't a paint and bake like some of the other high end companies are doing.

A spray and bake finish can be a very durable, corrosion resistant finish if it is applied over parkerizing rather than over bare metal. Parkerizing was originally a base, not a complete finish. It enhances the adherence of the finish applied on top of it. Spray and bake polymers are very corrosion resistant, but do not adhere well on their own. Apply the spray and bake polymer over a parkerized base, and you have an ideal finish.
