I'm looking around for my first 1911 and I keep falling back to a DW Valor in black. Every time I see a picture of one I know its the one. Anyone seen any around for sale anywhere? Are they as damn nice as they look?

Looking for my first 1911

you will end up with more than one. Buy something you can get now and keep your eyes open for the one you really want.
I am up to 5 now.

Actually I don't regret buying the 1911's
Yes they are as nice as they look. I just got a black Specialist, because I have a thing for the clark-rib-flattop look. The only thing I could possibly not like about that gun is the grips are like cheese graters, but that gun don't go anywhere in your hand. I think the Valor has less aggressive panels on it by default.

Thank you for your input,the Valor gives me a funny feeling when I drool over the pics so it will be that one. I see other ones and I just don't want a rail on it, my plastic guns have them and I don't want one on my 1911.
Well you're no help! Lol, thanks
Please don't. That thing shoots like a dream!
DW valor, specialist or pointman all look great. i've never fired one but have fondled. those who own DW 1911's seem very happy with them. that says a lot especially from 1911 owners because they are usually the biggest babies and whiners of the gun community.
personally I love my sig 1911 TTT model. had to swap the ridiculous wood grip panels but for a sub $1k 1911, it comes w pretty much every feature from perfect front strap checkering to adjustable night sights. i would avoid the Sig target 1911 models because the rear dovetail is weird and not so compatible.
for a series 70 design, the S&W E-series are also great. the SW1911TA is the most accurate 1911 I have ever fired. it is flat out amazing.
the remington 1911R1 or Ruger SR1911 are also nice. the finish on the ruger to me is a bit suspect. i favor the remington. had an enhanced 1911R1 briefly but got a great offer on it so sold.

I have two identical Rock Island Armory 1911s and I love them. I own a total of three 1911s.
I know absolutely I'll have more than one. At this point I'm in a position to get THE one and I'll start with the DW . Then the NEXT one will be the one..I get it ,great sickness to have.
If you can't get it out of your head, buy it. I did that with the same thing with the Sig Scorpion 1911
