After much research I finally bought my first 1911 .45. I went with the Dan Wesson Valor 5" with black duty coating. The fit and finish is amazing and the trigger is unbelievable. It's so good it puts my P7M8 to shame. Now I just need to find some nice leather and convince my wife I only paid 600 bucks out the door lol. Anyway here are some pics to enjoy. I could only figure out how to insert the url maybe somebody smarter than me can fix it...

That's a nice looking firearm.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Welcome to the dark side. From now on for you, guns will fall into two categories: 1911s, and "just another gun".

Re: Look what I got!
That's really nice! 
You could tell your wife you had to fork over $600 for it and that would be true. Now if she wants the whole truth and nothing but the truth, that's another story.
