    I dont know much about the wesson. I do have a kimber 4" look feel function are superb accuracy is very good. They are that good, once you shoot one you will want one.

    I've never shot either (shot other 1911s) but I've heard great things about both. Know more people who have had Kimbers though, and I'd love to have either--did some research and Kimber will hopefully be my next 1911 if I ever get the funds together

    I bought a Dan Wesson Guardian (in 9mm) last month and love it. I will probably be picking up the CCO Bobtail this week in 45. The quality is amazing. Every Kimber I ever touched has a rusting barrel or its pitted.

    Had both, shot both. The Kimber Warrior may have been a TINY bit more accurate than the Wesson Valor, but fit/finish and reliablity on the Wesson was SUPERB, on another "level" than the Kimber. Also residing on that level, IMHO, is Mr.Wilson and Mr.Baer. Just sayin'.

    +1 on this. I have a Dan Wesson Valor and it is a great 1911 ... as close to a custom without the custom price. Take a look at the 1911 forums and you'll see that not everyone is happy with their Kimbers ... some are, but many are not. Get the DW.

    Have shot both, love both. Know people that have both. The Kimber is on my want list. Why the Kimber, support. While Dan Wesson support is good, but eveyone tells me Kimber support is outstanding. If you want to talk about making an upgrade or change, Kimber will help.
