The Valor follows the classic Government 1911 format with a 5-inch stainless, match-grade barrel and matching bushing, housed in a matte bead-blasted stainless steel frame and slide. It uses a non-railed dust cover, rear-only cocking serrations, and an internal extractor. The ejection port is lowered and flared, and the recoil spring plug face is checkered.
Controls and ergonomics include a single-sided thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The pistol features a solid, medium-length trigger, a skeletonized Commander-style hammer, an undercut trigger guard, a checkered front strap, a flat mainspring housing, and a blended magazine-well funnel. Black checkered composite grip panels round out the setup.
Sight picture is the Heinie Straight Eight configuration with fixed tritium night sights: a Trijicon tritium front blade paired with a Heinie Ledge rear carrying a single tritium dot. This provides a clear, vertically aligned sight reference in low light.
