I have decided I no longer want to deal with a finicky officer's sized 45 ACP. It feeds ball ammo fine, but if you want to feed jhp's (in this gun), you have to use Remington golden sabers, you have to have strong mag springs, you have to have a recoil spring that has less than 250 rounds on it, you have to make sure it is well lubed (almost dripping), and the extractor has to be less tight than I would like to make sure no extra effort is wasted getting the casehead up on the bolt face. Also, the feed lips need to be polished and clean. Then there is the fact that jhp's chew up the aluminum feed ramp a bit.
So, I am going with a commander sized gun which seems to avoid a lot of these issues in the micro 45's. Further, the dan Wesson has a ramped barrel and offers an officer sized grip with a commander sized slide.
So I am wondering if any of you have any experience with the Dan Wesson Valkyrie. . It ain't very cheap, but not in the Wilson combat price range either. I have a dan Wesson already (govt size) and love it. But it's a bit big to carry. Reliability is key obviously in any carry gun and I'm hoping to find one that doesn't require so much effort just to feed a jhp.
Thanks
