Got the new Valor in today and all I can say is
The fit and finish of it are perfect as far as I can see. I like the looks of the Duty Treat finish.
The trigger is very nice, though I will say that my 2013 stainless Valor feels like it may be a tad better.
The beavertail is blended nearly perfect and aesthetically, that matters to me.
I have already changed out the slim grips as I don't care for them and added a magwell I had laying around.
I will order up some VZ OP II's if they have a good memorial day sale. Also the rear sight is going to go as I don't like the straight 8's. I'll add a 10-8 rear sometime.
I will say the only disappointment I have with the gun is that when racking the slide, it is quite a bit more gritty than what I expected, it is nowhere near as "ball bearing" smooth as my SA Combat Operator. Of course this is simply a personal feeling and will not affect function, nor will I feel it when actually shooting the Valor. It will smooth some with shooting as my Stainless one did, but even it is still not like the CO.
