The V-Bob pairs a black slide with a matte stainless forged frame for a purposeful two-tone finish. The slide is marked with 'Valor' script and carries GI-style rear serrations, a serrated top rib, and a lowered ejection port. A recessed, flush slide-stop pin and clean machine work reflect the Valor Series build quality.
Its commander-length 4.25 in match-grade bushing barrel is marked 'MATCH' on the hood, along with '.45 ACP.' The pistol follows the 1911 pattern, operating in single action with an 8+1 capacity.
Controls and ergonomics include a bobtail mainspring housing with a rounded butt, 25 LPI front strap and mainspring housing checkering, a single-side thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety. The flat, skeletonized trigger with lightening cuts and the skeletonized rowel (commander) hammer complete the setup.
Sights are fixed iron: an AmeriGlo tritium front with an orange ring, paired with a fixed serrated U-notch rear. Grips are black/gray G10 with a tapered profile for a secure, repeatable hold.
Made in the USA, the pistol is marked 'DAN WESSON FIREARMS NORWICH NY U.S.A.' and corresponds to manufacturer part number 01825.
