Dreghorn, that ProCarry looks great with the bob-tail job....very nice!

Thanks skosh. It's just roughed in, needs to be polished to the file marks out, and the msh re blued, and a set of grips made to match the bob. Was using it for EDC till I got a Guardian. Now I need to clean it up more before I put it back in the carry rotation.

A cute little gun like that needs a round bottom.

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!
