About Dan Wesson V-Bob 01982
The popular Bobtail Commander is now available in the Valor series in the form of the V-Bob. The Valor series is our flagship line, meaning its the best we have to offer. Frankly, we feel it is the best built production 1911 on the market. The V-Bob is loaded with features, including a forged Bobtail frame with 25 LPI checkering front and back, an undercut trigger guard, tactical ledge night sights, VZ slim line G10 grips, EGW carry bevel bushings as well as our tool-steel fire controls and other premium small parts. Every piece that goes into the Valor series is hand-fit, polished and blended to provide you with not only the best functioning gun we can provide, but also the best looking. The V-Bob can be had with either a matte stainless glass bead finish or our super durable black Duty finish. This finish is a revolutionary treatment process that actually bonds to the components and creates a super-durable matte black skin. Our Duty Black finish beats any of the spray-and-bake finishes most companies use today, hands down. Our durability testing proves it and our customers love it which is proof enough for us!

At the heart of the V-Bob 01982 is a forged stainless steel frame and slide, which provide exceptional strength and durability. The frame features a rounded butt for improved comfort and concealment, as well as a Bobtail® cut to reduce printing under clothing.

The V-Bob 01982's barrel is match grade quality, with a polished feed ramp and fully supported chamber for reliable feeding and extraction.

The trigger is also adjustable for overtravel, allowing shooters to customize their trigger feel to their personal preferences.
The V-Bob 01982's grips are made from G10, an extremely durable and wear-resistant material that provides excellent grip under all conditions. The grips are checkered with a double diamond pattern, providing a classic look and feel that harkens back to the original 1911 design. The grips are also cut for an ambidextrous safety, allowing left-handed shooters to operate the gun just as easily as right-handed shooters.

Great 1911. Buds was great at shipping and handling, and I had no problem with my FFL dealer (DTS Tactical Moss Bluff, LA). I have primarily used CCI Blazer 230 grain FMJ, and Federal 230 grain HST. The magazines it came with work great. I have also used

Flawless. Night sights are bright on this one, but I recall some others having issues with them being dim in the other reviews. As far as the gun itself, I lubed it up with some FP10 before taking it to its first range visit per the manual's instructions

This is my first 1911 purchase, Ive been sitting on the fence too long. The fit and finish are excellent. I can see myself purchasing future Dan Wessons. I'm still in the "break in" period and the only problem I've had has been some factory brass cases to

The VBob is an exceptional weapon, beautifully built. It has extremely close tolerances; it is hard to tell where the frame ends and the slide begins. I am very pleased with this 1911, its a keeper!

Received my new Valor and broke it in the same day. I can actually say it's the best firearm in my collection. Excellent weapon extremely accurate. I have purchased various firearms from Buds and they have by far the best prices around.

I was skeptical about the quality of the V-bob for the price, until I recieved it. This gun is absolutely the very best fitted and silky smooth 1911 out there in this price range. Makes me look like alot better shot than I am. 1-1/2'' groups at 15 yards.

I have owned Ed Brown, Les Baer, Kimber, and Colt 1911's. This Dan Wesson Valor Bobtail is my absolute favorite. The finish of this 1911 is as nice as my Ed Brown. It is much nicer than the Colt, Kimber and Les Baers. The fit is superior to all, even my E

I've owned it a little over 1 year now. I STILL think this is the best value in 1911's out there. Fit and finish are better than expected. So far, zero failures of any kind. I would recommend this to anyone.

What a gun. I held the Duty Finish model and Cabela's and really didn't like it. I prefer the matte SS guns. Front strap checkering also felt sharp and not comfortable. Was a little concerned about ordering this gun without being able to hold it and it wa
