The Valor returns with enhancements, including a Stan Chen SI magwell, tapered grip and tactical ambidextrous safety. The new slide stop is now recessed for laser grip applications. A serrated U-Notch rear sight and front tritium sight with a large orange ring allows for fast sight acquisition. The Stainless Steel version of the Valor receives a bead-blasted finish. The Valor now comes with an inverted rib, and an updated slide stop that allows for laser grip panels. Sitting atop the slide are a serrated U-notch rear sight and a front tritium with a large orange ring, while GI-style cocking serrations give it a classic look. Our new inset serrations not only knock down any glare from the top of the slide — they also look great!
