Dan Wesson Valor

[pastaslinger]

I wish they would combine the features I like into one gun.

Start with a PM7 (no rail and serrated top strap)
Add front strap checkering
Use a trijicon hd style front sight and a Bomar rear
Ambi safety from the specialist
Magwell from the specialist
Ball cut slide
Black g10 grips from the stainless valor but with ambi safety and magwell cut

It would be in either stainless, their black coating, or the two tone color schemes they experimented with

I've always like the idea of the Balor, but one thing that's always bugged me is that various pictures seem to show different front strap treatments where it meets the trigger guard. The pics in this thread appear to show it higher cut than those I've seen elsewhere like here

They do build custom orders. Nothing on your list is too far off production models. Expect to wait and pay more but its possible.

Absolutely! If you are requesting parts outside of their supply chain you can do what I did and have Brownells ship them directly to DW. Their work is outstanding, pricing is around MSRP plus what you would expect to pay for the individual modifications.

I know they do but the problem is they quoted me about $800 more than a specialist for a PM7 spec'd out basically as a rail-less specialist with Bomar sights.

I think it makes sense to get a DW custom order if you want something radically different than what they offer (ie a .40 cal build) because then the price seems more reasonable for what you get. Things that are too similar too similar to production models make more sense to buy a production model.

I really, really like the 9mm Valkyrie Commander that DW sent me for testing. I liked it so much that I'm stalling on sending it back to them while I try to scam up the cash to buy it outright, because it is a fantastic carry gun.

I hold you and your videos at least partly responsible for my interest in that same Commander.

Nice write up OP!

I read somewhere that CZ/DW offer around a 25% discount for LE/MIL.

I bought a 9mm VBOB from them at the LE discount earlier this year. I can't remember the exact price, but it was a good deal. They also gave me LE pricing on a custom build they did for me over the summer.
