Looks like my second valor build and another buddy’s gun were blued in the same batch as your latest. Had the opportunity to handle two valor M45s and they are on par with or exceed the quality of two other 2112-built M45s I’ve handled. He does some solid work with attention to detail rivaling the top names. |

Not sure if this is legit - it sure looks like it, but t appears Ken Hackathorn is having two Det-1 Kimbers sold on GB. I wonder what these will go for.

I cannot recommend him enough based on what I've seen so far. Alright, so the above gun is actually a friend's. Below are some pictures of my gun and another friend's railed gun being refinished at PWS/worked on at Valor. The next four pictures are the final product followed by some other builds.

 Attached FileHARSTAD, Norway - A U.S. Marine with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division fires downrange amid an immediate action drill during exercise Platinum Ren at Fort Trondennes, Harstad, Norway, May 13, 2019. Exercise Platinum Ren is a theater security cooperation training evolution held with the KJK to sustain mission essential tasks in harsh operating environments and strengthen coalition partnerships. The main technique the Marines executed was “buddy rushing,” a system where appointed Marines fire at the target, while other Marines rush in the designated direction.

After reading this off and on for years, I decided to join. Started with a SA from GB. I ended up installing a Harrison Design front sight, because I don't know how to silver solder. I didn't know how to stake a front sight either, but I got 'er done. A Bar-sto barrel would have been nice too, but budget and I haven't done many barrel installs caused me to decide to keep the SA barrel.
Still needs to be re-parkerized or a matte blue. Kinda thinking about applying oxpho blue to the bare steel and shooting it as is. Not sure. Not a 100% correct version. But I did it my way.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

You can either make them have quarter-sized beavertail gaps and look authentic, or do a great fit and blend and have them look too good. If you do the latter you can always buy an extra beavertail and drop it in after addressing the “trigger arm” thingy |
