I really like what I have read about the Valor. Could you get that bead blasted or something IF you wanted to clean it up?
There was some discussion about it in this thread - https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/handguns/387655-lube-tight-stainless-1911-a.html
I can't remember any other handgun, including others 1911's, that felt as good in my hand. It's just fantastic. Of course, I haven't shot it yet so it could be total hunk of junk
