The Valtro fits my hand perfectly. 40 oz. of steel and a slide that feels like its on ball bearings. The workmanship is impeccable - the inside of the gun looks as good as the outside. The best part: the gun is amazingly accurate, eats all ammo types.
Lockup is completely tight and there is no 'play' in the slide/frame fit. This thing feels like the most well crafted machine I've ever owned.
Regarding the gun leather: it's from
Tucker Gun Leather via RobL ('tonerguy' here and formerly on TFL), who delivered my custom order within 6 days.
The leather is gorgeous. These pieces appear so sturdily constructed, I would not be surprised in my grandchild someday tries this leather and finds it servicable. The pictures above do not do the deep cherry black color justice, as would outdoor sunlight.
Valtro and Tucker. A winning combination.
