The V-Bob is a compact 1911 in the Valor series, pairing a Commander-length 4.25-inch match, bushing-fitted barrel with an 8+1 capacity in .45 ACP. It uses a single-action-only system with a skeletonized trigger featuring lightening cuts and a skeletonized rowel hammer. A bobtail mainspring housing, beavertail grip safety with memory bump, and a beveled magazine well support confident handling.
Construction is all stainless steel with a matte stainless finish on both frame and slide. The slide features rear cocking serrations, a serrated top rib, and a lowered and flared ejection port. It is a clean, no-rail configuration. Markings include "Valor" on the slide, "DAN WESSON FIREARMS NORWICH NY U.S.A." on the frame, and ".45 ACP" and "MATCH" on the barrel hood. Made in the USA.
Sight configuration is practical and fast: a dovetailed AmeriGlo H3 tritium front sight with orange outline pairs with a black serrated, dovetailed rear blade. Safety features include a thumb safety and grip safety. The controls and geometry reflect the 1911 platform's familiar ergonomics in a compact format.
This example is upgraded with Orange & Black Stoner CNC textured grip panels installed for a secure, high-traction hold, and it also ships with a spare set of textured black 1911 grip panels that are standard, non-bobtail and will not fit the V-Bob's bobtail frame without modification. Two factory Dan Wesson 8-round magazines are included, each with 'DW' and '45 ACP' markings on the magazine bodies near the base; the floorplates are unmarked.
