Don't let NK see this, or we'll never hear the end of it!

What's a guy to do, no 1911 collection is complete without a compact, and if DW made one i'd have had options, but.......



A cute little gun like that needs a round bottom.

Ahhh, the SemperFi-effect!

Pssst, I like Skoshs' grips. Don't tell him though.

Uh, the Valkyrie is not a compact, it has a commander slide which is 4", compacts are usually 3", am I right?


Plenty of other manufacturer's made compacts long before DW, who didn't start doing it until the ECO, what 2 years ago?

The ECO has a 3 1/2 inch barrel. Compact!
The Valkyrie DOES have a Commander length slide. Correct!

Sorry , but you know what they say, "It is better to ask forgiveness, than to ask permission"

No; compacts generally have 4-41/4" slides;'subcompacts have three inch slides.

Usually, a compact is a Commander length slide on an Officer's size grip frame.

True; but this is in the MIMber forum, so I was speaking to their "Compact" models.
