Help me decide: DW CBOB or HK USP 45c?

[Libertarian71]

I bought DW cbob back in 2013. The gun did not work. It had numerous malfunctions even after "break in period" (used WC magazines, CM magazines, and factory magazines). It went back to Dan Wesson (CZ USA) warranty repair shop 2x times and still did not work. Failure to feed and stoves pipes...May be mine was a lemon but it was absolute garbage. DW customer rep (forgot his name...somewhere in my email archive back in 2013) told me the gun is working fine. BS. It did not work. Spent $1500 dollars (for the gun) + over 700 rounds of 45 ACP (for "break in period") + magazines fee (total around 2000 dollars) and it was complete trash. I sold that gun quickly and got other pistols that are reliable and do not need "break in period" BS. I personally never had any trouble with Berettas, M&Ps, and Glocks and I am glad I sold that shiny pretty piece of ****. So I voted HK 45.

Wow. Thanks for filling me in. Too late, though, I already drosed mine earlier today! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with yours. Hoping mine is better!

Majority of people had positive experiences with Dan Wesson CBOBs. It will be fine. Reliability is utmost importance to me. I believe that a reliable gun should be able to shoot 500 rounds with zero failure without cleaning in between sessions. I test my new guns that way and if they don't pass, I get rid of them. My CBOB had too many failures even after "break in period" and it was not acceptable. I hope your CBOB is a good one like majority of CBOB owners at calguns. It sure is sexy gun though.

My experience with my CBOB has been close to perfection itself. Has had a couple of malfunctions during the break-in. Probably closing in on a thousand rounds now, and nary a hiccup.

I might be in the total minority on this, but while I like the look of the bobtail, I actually prefer the regular MSH for shooting. I find it to be much more comfortable and much easier to get a solid grasp on.

Regardless, congratulations on joining the club.
