I needed something other than plastic framed handguns in my life, so I bought a Dan Wesson Valor…needless to say I really like the new pistol and truly appreciate the difference it provides. I will likely only carry the 1911 as a “proud” open carry gun and it doesn’t replace my Glocks as “go to” self-defense guns, but I am really enjoying the variety in construction and manual of arms. Heck now that I have it in the safe it makes me enjoy my “fantastic plastic” even more. Now all I need is a good companion knife for the Valor… At any rate, have any of you suffered from polymer overdose?
