Which Dan Wesson 10mm suggest- Razorback,Silverback,Valor?

[Tibetan]

Can anyone with experience using these Dan Wesson 10mm's share their experience - Razorback, Silverback, Valor? Which one (if you could only get one) would you select? Thanks

[Kenk]

Yep, very interested in learning more about the Razorback as well
Thanks

Target/ range gun or more of a "social" situation gun?

The features between the two kinda define the Silverback as more of a target/range gun, with the Valor being more duty/carry oriented.  Both will work fine in the "alternate" role, but that would be the deciding factor for me.

The Razorback is just less "refined" than the other two.  This translates into lower priced sights, less checkering, etc.  No decrease in quality, just features.

If you are like me at all, part of the decision between models gets driven by price and availability at the time I am ready to buy.  All three of these are fine firearms.  In the raw features that align with how I would use the gun, the Valor would be the pick for me.  But that doesn't mean I might not end up with one of the other two if they were available and the Valor was not.

Intent was can count on when needed- that may be all three, was wondering if valor, had more multi shot precision -but again that could be all of them-they all look great

I think they will all score great on reliability.  Valor has features that scream duty/hard use to me.  The extra 25 LPI stipling where others have lines or have just bead blasted steel.  It has a fixed sight, but not a Novak, but rather one with a ledge to facilitate one hand operation of the slide.

And, there are a bunch of Valor's on gunbroker at the moment. :-)

Thank you sqlbullet

I think the Valor would be my choice but it is hard to go wrong with a DW.

My buddy has the Silverback. Says it's not only his favorite 10mm, but is his favorite handgun.

[Kenk]

Yep, one of the DW's will most likely be my next 10

Your buddy is brilliant.  My Silverback is up for any challenge.  I've had a 45acp vbob in the past and the extra details on the Silverback are highly appreciated.  1. I love the sights inc'l adjustability and 2. the flushed slide stop is very nice.

Both the Valor and Silverback come checkered.  Just a personal opinion, but the checkering is a required thing on my 1911s stouter than 9mm.  I do run Hogue (Pearce actually) wraparounds on my doublestacks till I find someone I trust to fix (yes, checker) that front strap correctly.  I would not bring home a Razorback without committing to get it checkered right away.

Thanks Dred

I recently posted an effusive report on my experience and opinion of my Razorback
so I won't bore with another.  So far only regret is not getting one sooner. 
Lack of checkering on front strap wasnt as much an issue for me as the cocobolo
wood grips which for me got a little slippery when sweating or hands wet. 
I switched them out for some aftermarket grips with better texture and fixed
my perceived grip concern.

The Valor is way sweet, but a little high when my wife is looking at new furniture, will likely have to settle for one of the other two; better a happy wife than a really nice pistol....I'll just keep telling my self that, Lol

[Tibetan]

Thank you lots of input--Could the Valor be the way to go if funds are there? I wonder of there are 10 plus round magazines for it--Wilson combat.

I know you listed specific models but have you given any thought to the Bruin?  The longer slide and sight base with increased velocity is a huge bonus.
