I will say I love my Dan Wesson Valor!!! From the second I pulled that gun out of the box it has shot consistently better... My first session with the gun it shot a 5 round 1" grouping at 25yds and I thought I had missed the target for half the shots! I think I got a gun blessed by God himself as I have not had any FTFs or FTEs or Misfires since I have owned the gun! I love it to death the only gripe I have is that my grip screws keep vibrating loose hahaha.

Here is a pic:

*Side note: I have put about 10k rounds through her so far...*

I see heaps of armorer frustration in the law enforcement market with the current versions of Sig's pistols.

But as with any other gun out there, you really need to put hundreds of rounds downrange without a problem before you can really trust it to defend your life.

have the XD 45 & the P220, both are excellent.

Yes. Any firearms manufacturer can make a good weapon on any given day. Some are just more likely than others to do it consistently.
