I have an SS Valor coming on friday. It is my first pistol i purchased. All the research and reviews i read said it was one of the best bang for your buck pistols even comparable to some more expensive 1911's. I guess i can update this post in a few days....lol. No one that I talked too said to not buy one.......
I've owned 3 different Dan Wesson 1911s and they have all been amazing guns (still own a stainless Valor). The CCO is actually a pretty cool little gun. It is a Commander lenght slide on top of a Officer sized frame. So the grip is a bit shorter and one round less capacity than a "normal" Commander or Government size 1911. Designed to be a perfect CCW 1911. Roughly similar in size to a Glock 19. The CCO is also an aluminum alloy frame so it is lighter weight and subsequently a little harder recoiling than an all-steel commander.
I'd be grabbing that one that is on sale right now if I wasn't already committed to buying a new DW Valkyrie if and when one comes to Canada.

if its that small i prob wouldnt like it. i got big mitts. it is a pretty gun.
That's why I figured I'd mention it! Those Officer frames can feel pretty tiny in bigger hands. Fine I guess if you need the concealability, but probably not too much fun for everyday range shooting. You should look at the VBOB. 
I think you'll find it more comfortable! and, honesty, worth the price. DWs are top notch guns. You get amazingly close to the high end semi-customs like Ed Brown and Wilson Combat but for $1500 to $2000 less.

The Springfield Mc operator is a nice gun too but I don't understand why wanstall ask more than $1700 for a loaded model with mim parts, sprayed on finish and two piece barrel. There are better options out there for sure.

If only I was rich..these are fine examples of top notch guns..
Everyone ahead of me completely missed a great chance to post a chorus of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and give this guy a heart attack. For shame.
Yes, that would have been hilarious........I have questioned myself a couple times on this purchase since I have been waiting for it since November. It is the most expensive firearm i have purchased sight unseen. I would have shat my pants if everyone started saying NOOOOOO!...lol.
I didnt buy it lol, was asking question before I did. I decided not to get it.
