Both pistols are more accurate than my ability. I have a feeling I’ll burn off a big chunk of my ammo breaking these two in and working on my ability.
Right now, my favorite is the CZ shadow which I had a better range trip with.

Nice! Looking forward to a range report.
I hit the range sundays. I stripped both down and lubed it up with the Wilson combat lubricant it came with. The cliffs notes are Some good some bad on both.
WC EDC X9 ~100 rounds.
Accuracy was good. I got some good groups at 7yd and still hit center mass at 15yd
The Trigger felt great, light and good break. I tend to jerk the trigger more than I do on some of my other pistols.
Reliability: this was irritating. A couple of failure to feed. I felt the cycling of the slide more than I usually do with other steel pistols. The slow cycling could be weak old ammo, could be tight fitment and stiff spring. Either way I’ll get a few hundred more rounds before I judge.
WC 7 yards. 1st mag middle, 2nd mag lower left. 3rd upper left.
Dan Wesson. ~120 rounds.
Accuracy was noticeably better. At 7 yards I had some tight ragged holes, at 15 yards still tighter than the WC.
Trigger similar to the WC. Great 1911 trigger. Light and crisp break with a short reset. I didn’t have the jerking issue.
Reliability: one stove pipe. A handful of failure to feed. I did use a bunch different mags I had lying around. Chip McKormick, Dan Wesson, Colt, some others. I didn’t have the slow cycling like with the WC but the ammo in the old mags had been there for probably a few years.
WC 7 yards.
15 yard. The cluster in the middle are the .45 rounds from the Dan Wesson
The rest were the WC

As promised, photos of the new arrival(s)
The gunbroker win on top. Since I won that, I had to find a less expensive Dan Wesson. Hence the vigil- 5

HEB supposed to be open until midnight. Closed at 10:30. Staff and supply shortage.

Picking up my Lupo .243 today, transfer from Macks PW thru Gunsplus in Gtown.
Looking for a stainless Colt Govt 1911 if anyone has any leads on one. 5” barrell. Plain jane
I know you said Colt, but gun warehouse had a brushed stainless Dan Wesson Valor that was really hard to leave in the store. Simple. No huge badging. -
Academy in RR had plenty of 9mm today. Brass blazer for $20

Yes. Troy at guns warehouse in cedar park.
When I stopped by today he was deep into an AR build. The guy at the counter suggested I call back another time when he’s working the counter. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll reach out again some time.- 1

I am not the one looking at the Springfield that was moose. And I agree, Springfield is a great gun. If I didn’t buy a Colt when I did, I would have bought the a Springfield government style.
I did make up to Gun Warehouse. They have a Valor that I really want. I have to wait to lose a gunbroker bid on another pistol and I’ll be back for it. Either way I’ll be back with pictures of something today or in two weeks.
So…. I won the auction.
The waiting game begins.- 4

Also, don't miss the forest for the trees. If you really like the Springfield, it's a GREAT option. All these high end 1911 options outshoot 99% of their owners (raises hand)
My LEO friend with the Springfield likes it, but never carries it on duty. It's too heavy, has a limited mag capacity, and he doesn't want to beat the hell out of it on a daily basis. So last I talked with him, he carried a polymer framed 9mm M&P loaded with 147gr Speer Gold Dot rounds.

Find a Valor. Then, when you do, you'll have to have a V-Bob.
I have (and have had) a lot of pistols. If I had to make a shot to save my life, easy choice, I'd pick up my Valor.
On Texas gun trader right now there is a guy in Fort Hood selling one of each. Both appear to be in good shape. I inquired about the Valor and he told me he was the second owner. I suspect he’s the second owner of both. -
Pennyworth. Watched episode 1. Good enough to continue to 2. We’ll see.

I’m trying to make a decision right now and considering a Dan Wesson as one of the options. I have a RIA and a Colt Government 1911. I feel like I have a gap in the collection without having a higher end 1911 like a Dan Wesson. A Valor looks great but not the easiest to find. But when you look for a listing of a Valor, you realize they look really good but So does the Pointman and the Specialist. Tempting.
Once I climbed to that price point ($1500-2000) I start looking at CZ 75 TSO which may be too close to my CZ shadow 2 to justify the addition. and I’m within arms reach of a Wilson Combat EDC X9L. Though not a 1911, it is close enough for me to want it.
Now my head is spinning. Thanks a lot.
I’ll probably just end up buying another Glock.- 1

First quote for a 15x30 pool with hot tub attached. Very Basic. Heated. Some minor patio work. $100k.

Picked up the CZ Shadow 2 this week. I’ve been a CZ fan for a while. They have great breaking triggers and all just aim well for me. This one is no different and is better than any I own.
CZ 75 BD
CZ 75 compact
CZ P10c and now this beauty.

The search begins. Who do you recommend in the pflugerville Hutto rr area?

Not impressed with Squid Game.
I found myself skipping ahead 10 sec constantly through the last three episodes. -
Yeah. Pharmacies take a beating. And they have your data. Chains keep allowing it because they think you’re going to shop in the store.
It’s a messed up business model. -

EDC is a misnomer on this one for sure. It’s purely a range gun for me. I wanted a 9mm 1911 style target shooter with higher capacity. Your experience sucks, I hope mine smooths out. I really want to like this gun.
As for carry, no way. It’s heavy and not reliable. Perhaps the tight tolerances are to blame but very not cool. I’ll keep oiling it up and take it each range trip.
As for carry, Glock, CZ P10c or sig 938 here. Hell, I have a couple Bersas that I would carry before this one. I can count on one hand the number of FTF I’ve had with those.
