What do you guys think of these commander sized 1911s? I have read they are semi custom hand fitted production 1911s with no mim parts? I have never had or held a dan wesson firearm but they look very interesting.
As long as it’s 45acp it should run fine. I wouldn't buy one in 9mm. I’ve owned one, sold it. Had a friend do likewise. Both guns wouldn’t run as well as they needed to for competition, or personal defense.What do you guys think of these commander sized 1911s?

Is that Out The Door? 🤔They are the best production 1911 under $200 IMHO.
Of course I am missing a 0. I paid $650 for my CBOB back when no one knew who about Dan Wesson 1911s.Is that Out The Door? 🤔

😁 👍😁👍😁👍😁🙋♀️the very pretty, pretty worthless, Kimbers.
I had a kimber 10mm that I sold to a forum member and it ran flawless!😁 👍😁👍😁👍😁🙋♀️
And it still does🤪I had a kimber 10mm that I sold to a forum member and it ran flawless!
I'm so glad you are enjoying it and kimber took care of you on the sights. You wouldn't want to buy a Dan Wesson would you? I'll sell it for what I paid For it Lol. Just kidding though I am disappointed in it. It was my birthday yesterday and traded my 500 magnum for the valor thinking it would be my only higher end 1911. I dread sending it back and have no idea how there customer service is.And it still does🤪
That Longslide eats everything it is fed, and is great for long range steel thanks to the RMR. I liked it so much I bought a 5” model from another forum member that was 9 years into the 10 year Nightsight warranty. Kimber replaced both sights for free, including shipping both ways. After buying two UltraCarry .45ACP models and using one for CCW and Steel Challenge without any issues, I don’t worry about any of them. Run them a little oily with Wilson magazines. If you don’t like them, sell them to me cheap🥳
If I had to guess your extractor is losing control of the case before hit the ejector. The round is being throw back at your face by the slide because it was not "guided" out by the ejector. My WAGs is that the extractor is out of spec, has a burr on it or is not properly tensioned. I assume this is a NIB gun.Took the Valor to the range and put 100 rounds threw it. It shot well except for the brass hitting me in the face and landing on the brim of my hat. Had smudge marks on my cheek, so not very happy with it for that. The brass I think is hitting the back of the ejection port and then bouncing on the top of the slide and making marks on it. I didn't expect to have a problem with it at price it costs but these things happen I guess. Just filled out the form to send it back and hope I won't have to wait months to get it back and it's fixed. It also dented about 25 of the 100 casings that it ejected.

Yes new in box gun. Turned out that the extractor was too tight. Took it out lightly bent it, put it back checked it if it would still hold the round when shaking the slide. Took it to the range today and it ran flawless. 100 rounds. It threw most of the caseings about 6 foot to my right in a beach ball sized spot.If I had to guess your extractor is losing control of the case before hit the ejector.
