I acquired my DW Valor after selling my Springfield EMP. I had plans to sell another gun and to buy a black gun (glock, Walther PPQ, HK p2000, etc.). I have been shooting my Valor often and love it. I have also been hunting for my new black gun on line and in gun shops. None of these black guns feel even remotely shootable compared to my Valor. I have asked myself, "if I buy a glock 9mm, will I shoot it or will I store it and shoot my Valor?" The answer is that I will shoot my Valor. The $1315 for my Valor now seems like even more of a bargain. Money saved (for ammo, of course). Thank you, Dan Wesson.
