Holy Hell that is nice.........!:eek:
 
Cheers Paul! As I mentioned in another thread I'm almost positive this is the only example in Canada. It's unlike any other 1911 I have in terms of finish and feel. It's tight but not too tight. Action is butter smooth and I've already had the trigger worked on by my good friend Dave McGonical at Cape Custom making it so that you just look at it the wrong way and it'll go off!!! Original grips make the gun look much ###ier but they are Micarta and if you haven't tried Micarta linen grips before, they absorb oil like crazy and then change color completely, they go back to their original look once you scrub them with detergent to get the oil out but after about three times of doing that I had enough. Anyway, glad you guys can appreciate the Valor. Thanks!
 
Star B.... it's a cool pistol. :cool: And I've even owned a couple myself.... And probably would again.... Even have a Star BM still, which is a compact version of the Star B. But it still ain't no 1911.... :p
