Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob 10mm 1911 | Limited-Run Compact Commander
This limited-production Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob pairs the proven 1911 platform with the hard-hitting 10 mm Auto cartridge. Built on a forged stainless steel Commander-length frame and slide, it features a 4.25-inch match-grade barrel, bobtail mainspring housing, and hand-fit Series 70 internals with zero MIM parts. Night sights, aggressive 25 LPI checkering, and premium G10 grips round out a pistol designed for both collectors and shooters who appreciate top-tier craftsmanship in a compact package.

The Valor V-Bob stands out as one of the few factory 10 mm Commander-length 1911s produced in Norwich, NY. Its bobtail mainspring housing reduces printing while maintaining a comfortable grip, making this compact Valor ideal for discrete carry or range duty.
An inverted-rib slide top, rear-only GI-style serrations, and a lowered, flared ejection port showcase Dan Wesson’s meticulous machining. The matte stainless finish on both frame and slide resists glare and complements the black checkered G10 panels.
The match-grade stainless barrel is paired with a flat K-style trigger, skeletonized combat hammer, and tool-steel fire-control components for a crisp, consistent single-action pull. Fixed tritium night sights—dovetailed front post and Heinie-style U-notch rear—provide reliable low-light alignment.
A checkered magazine release, single-side thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, and undercut trigger guard all contribute to secure handling. Limited availability in 10 mm Auto makes this Valor V-Bob a desirable addition to any modern 1911 collection.
