And get ready to have any fillings you have blasted loose.
Which of these two 1911s would YOU rather have? Somewhat vs thoroughly ridiculous.

Dan Wesson. You want a 357 magnum, get the 686.

Never fired a 1911 in 10 mm , but did rent a S&W 1076 (I think it was called that) a while back. Man it kicked like a mule. Since the s&w was single stack and slender just like the 1911, it probably fells the same way. But I did also use a sub-compact glock chambered in 10 mm (google says G29). That surprisingly didn't feel too bad all. But it is a Dan Wesson, and a well made 1911 is a far cry from a crappy 1076 (it was range rental).
Tough choice.
The Coonan is certainly more unusual.
The DW is more spendy I believe.
If I had no other 1911s I would go with the DW.
If it was an addition to a collection , Coonan.
Both of those pieces are so sweet go the cc and get em both. Then sell one later....lol yea right.

They are both around $1800 I believe.
I think if the DW offered the 10mm Valor in a blued finish like they do for the .45 that may have clinched it.

Of the two the Dan Wesson. Then new Springfield 10’s are amazing. That’s what I’m looking to get.
What is the difference between the Razorback and Valor? The Bruin is also really cool, but I'm not super keen on needing a bushing wrench for disassembly.
They say the Valor is the flagship pistol with more hand fitting but not sure. I believe the biggest differences are additional machining like the checkered front strap and a few other thing that are more cosmetic. I know that the Dan can be taken apart without a wrench once sone round have been through them. Not sure about the Bruin tho.

I'd go with the DW for a variety of reasons stated above.
Also, I'm no purist but .357 in a 1911 is just... wrong.

Oh, do we really need to save weight by drilling them holes in the trigger ?
BOZO is looking for a gun - he wants a COONAN.

How is that any different than skeletonized triggers in other 1911s?
The Coonan weighs over 40oz so I'm sure the holes are aesthetic rather than an attempt at weight savings.
Everyone knows that Coonan is the way to go
Perfect 50/50 split actually.
You dont like 1911s so you opinion does not count here.
Well if you want to be technical about it a coonan isnt really by definition a 1911 soooooo
How you figure that? It most definitely is.
Then again it has a few updates that make it similar to a High Power. Which is also very cool.
I mean if we are going to be technical (that's the key word there)
It's missing the .45acp
Just like those that are double stack and / or are in 9mm are technically not a 1911

I would love to fret over details on which Dan Wesson Valor choice ...
1) a Dan Wesson 10mm Valor Black Duty Finish
or
2) a Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob Commander in Black Duty Finish to also carry in 9mm loaded with Novx +p ARX
or
3) Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob Commander in Black Duty Finish to also carry in 45acp loaded with rounds fitted with faster ARX cast copper fluted or Underwood extreme machined copper bullets.
In a way it's like the Ginger or Maryann choice on Gilligans Island

1911 has also traditionally been offered in .38 Super and the preceding ancestor, the 1908, was chambered in .38 ACP so that is a silly argument.
I'm just saying with said argument you can also get an actual 1911 and a coonan
Nah, I got other stuff on the list after this.
I had a couple of 1911s in 38 super. I started shooting IPSC with a star modelo Super B that was rechambered from 9x23 Largo to 38 super. Then as I could afford it I purchased a Colt 1911 then a few years later converted it to a Para Ord frame kit. The 9x19 wasn't allowed in the Major Power Factor catagory but the 9x21 and the 38 Super could back when I was playing gun games. The factories started making 9mm rounds (9x23 Winchester, .356 TS&W) to compete in the major power factor catagory and eventually the 9x19 was allowed in the major catagory.
touché. Your kinda right on this.
But you still are known as a hater on this stuff so your opinion is still ant applicable here.
A revolver cartridge in a 1911 is figured that would make you barff
