The V-Bob is part of Dan Wesson’s Valor Series and is configured as a compact 1911 with a Commander-length 4.25 inch match-grade barrel. Its bobtail mainspring housing and undercut trigger guard establish the model’s signature profile, while the recessed slide-stop pin and Valor script on the slide showcase the factory’s attention to detail.
Construction features include a forged stainless steel frame with a matte finish paired to a dark slide for a two-tone look. The slide incorporates rear serrations and a serrated top rib to reduce glare. The frame is marked DAN WESSON FIREARMS NORWICH, NY U.S.A., and the barrel hood is marked MATCH and .45ACP.
Controls and ergonomics are thoughtfully executed: ambidextrous thumb safeties, a grip safety, a skeletonized trigger, and a skeletonized hammer. Frontstrap and mainspring housing checkering at 25 LPI, plus gray/black G10 grip panels, provide a confident hold and a clean, functional aesthetic.
Sight configuration consists of iron sights with an AmeriGlo HRT orange-dot front and a plain serrated rear sight. Capacity is 7+1, and this pistol includes two steel single-stack 7-round magazines. It retains a single-action, locked-breech 1911 operating system and is made in the United States.
