a few thoughts on this 1st I carry a officer size 1911 between the valkrie and the guardian I would go with the Guardian because of the bobtail (makes for a nicer concealed carry gun) It would be a good carry gun but the Dan Wesson guns are in a different class than the sigs. The sigs are a production class and The dan wessons and STI guns are a class somewhere between the full top of the line custom 1911s (Wilson, les baer and nighthawk). Get the Dan wesson Guardian and I am sure you will be happy with it

Hi Alton, Tough choice both are such great firearms. I'd have to go with the Guardian myself though too. It's hard to find a better firearm.

Alton, the Sig UCC is a fine firearm in and of itself but, you will notice the "Hand Fitted" feel of either Dan Wesson immediately upon handling and firing. My opinion is that the "Guardian" is the better value. The extra cost of the Valkyrie is in the aesthetics (ball cuts, carry cuts, recessed (beveled/countersunk) slide stop hole). That is what you are paying for. Do you want or need the extra stuff?? That's up to you. I like the 3 dot sights better on the Guardian. But, I also like the checkering and grips better on the Valkyrie. Don't need the officer frame. If you are on a stiff budget, the Guardian fits the bill, unless you don't like Bobtails.

Combining the best features from two of our most popular models, the Bobtail Commander and the CCO. The new Guardian has an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to help reduce printing when carrying concealed and make it comfortable enough for full-time carry. The Duty Black finished Commander-length slide and alloy frame give it just the right feel and balance.

This is a great shooting 1911 and feels great in the hand. This is a very well made 1911 also Buds was great to work with (fast free shipping) and was priced very well. I would say this is my best 1911 besides my Ed Brown Kobra Carry. You will be glad you pulled the trigger (pun intended) if you purchase this pistol!
