As the title says, what would your go to 1911 be for less than $1911?
The Dan Wessons are very nice but which is best for the money for self defense, competition, and all around use? Let's ignore concealed carry so as to not weight the main deciding factor although the Valkyrie commander looks awesome.
i like my new Colt Gold Cup Trophy (o5070xe), msrp is 1699.
The Dan Wesson Valor.
Larry Vickers recently posted on a similar question on another site.
If I remember correctly, he stated for less than a $1,000 buy a Colt, for less than $2,000 buy a Dan Wesson.

In the Dan Wesson line I would look at the Valor. I don't own one but have seen several at matches and classes. They all have ran well and I have been impressed with the quality of the ones that I have handled.

Dan Wesson Valor all day every day. I have two.
DW Valor.
"Customer is very particular" -- SIG Sauer
Interesting, I would think more people would say the Specialist over the Valor given the features.
If they made a PM-7 that actually had th e same features as a PM-9 then I would pick that but since that isn't available and the custom equivalent from Dan Wesson is like $2200 I would go for the Specialist. If the Silverback had a plain blsck serrated rear sight that would be my vote, but I dislike the 3 dot adjustables and the grips look ugly to me.
I don't see anything worth getting into a thumb-wrestling match over angels dancing on a pinhead with that statement. You're unlikely to go far wrong if you stick with it.Originally Posted by sierra 223
Valor all day and twice on sunday. Valkyrie commander is the way to go if you're going to venture down the carry route.
Look! Just because we're bereaved, that doesn't make us saps!
