Played with my Valor when I got home, no noticeable movement side to side. Early 90's Colt was loose enough to make a clacking noise. Both are low round count.

As a previous owner of 1911's... Jeeves... the amount of lateral movement "should" be minimal. I believe that there will always (and probably should be) SOMETHING, or the gun would tighten up and freeze. Which is not a good condition. That said, my CCO has no perceptible movement. Which means that its "tight." Only the future, and a few thousand rounds may change my opinion.
Short story: If you are not happy, call CZ-USA and ask to return it for adujstment. See what he says. I liked him, he was fair to me in my latest return. Dafadda

I have a relatively new valor (about 150 rds) through it). It has no perceptible lateral movement.

i recently took ownership of a valor with a 12/9/11 "birth date" and have only 50 rounds through it. the slide has no play. i do, however, have it lubed with grease instead of oil (Buzzy's Slick Honey to be exact). perhaps the grease makes it "fit" better, but i don't recall noticing any play right out of the box, either.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the input so far, it's good to get a reference. On mine there is definite movement and as I say I was expecting a tighter fit. I think I will give DW a call first chance I get. My only issue is that they might want me to send it back to them to have a look at it, then I will be Valorless for however long! :-(

Certainly anyone paying a premium dollar for a 1911 would expect the slide to be very tight. You could also call Dave Severns and ask him. He may have a little more input.

Let us know what you find. My valor with about 700 rounds through it still very very tight.
