Dan Wesson Valor V-BOB 9mm 1911, Commander 4.25 in, Black Duty Finish, Night Sights, Bobtail, 7 Magazines, Case
This Dan Wesson Valor V-BOB in 9mm Luger pairs the Commander-length 4.25 in format with a forged stainless-steel build wearing the black Duty finish. It features a bobtail mainspring housing, match-grade barrel, and two-dot tritium night sights with a Trijicon-marked rear. Offered in excellent condition, it comes well-equipped with seven magazines and original accessories in the factory case.
The V-BOB configuration delivers a non-railed 1911 with a clean slide profile, rear-only serrations, and refined carry contours. The chamber hood is marked MATCH, and the pistol uses a standard barrel bushing system with a stainless bushing and checkered recoil spring plug. Controls include a left-side thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory pad for consistent engagement.
The black Duty finish covers both the forged stainless frame and slide for a uniform, low-glare look. A checkered front strap and bobtail mainspring housing provide secure purchase, aided by textured double-diamond G10 grip panels in a black/charcoal tone. The smooth-faced, medium-length trigger and skeletonized rowel hammer round out a focused single-action setup.
Two-dot tritium night sights are configured with a tritium front dot and a Trijicon-marked rear featuring a single tritium dot under the notch. The slide is marked Valor, with manufacturer markings of Dan Wesson Firearms, Norwich, NY, U.S.A. Capacity is up to 10+1 depending on the magazine, and this pistol includes both 10-round and 9-round single-stack magazines.

The Commander-length format balances handling with sight radius, and the non-railed frame keeps the lines traditional. The checkered front strap and bobtail mainspring housing aid control and concealment. The match-grade barrel and chamber hood marking underscore the build focus, while the rear-only slide serrations preserve a clean profile.
Dan Wesson’s black Duty finish is applied over forged stainless steel for both the slide and frame, combining rugged base material with a uniform dark exterior. The pistol retains a standard 1911 bushing setup, with a stainless bushing and checkered recoil spring plug for positive purchase during disassembly.
Sight regulation and low-light capability come from the two-dot tritium system: a tritium front and a Trijicon-marked rear with a single tritium dot beneath the notch. Controls are straightforward and carry-oriented, with a left-side thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety integrating a memory pad, and a smooth-faced, medium-length trigger. The skeletonized rowel hammer completes the classic single-action configuration.
