Function Over Form - Why Not Both?

Gorgeous gun OP

It would sure be wonderful if I could carry. This CBOB will certainly be in rotation.

I sure don't miss LA

Trigger's CBOB is certainly a great looking gun. I'd say it is form and function, you can not go wrong with a nice 1911 like that.

BUT, Glock that with the compensator surely looks like a Ford Pinto with Indy 500 accessories tacked on.

Hi, sly-jay. How do? long time no see. :sad:

Even though I'm not crazy about the grip on CBOB, that my friend is a sexy looking gun indeed.

Thank you for the kind words folks. Have a great day.

May the 4th be with you

Buying a 1911 that isn't loose and tolerant of bad conditions = form over function. You lose OP.

Jk. I really enjoy my DW too.

Because people like to force their false dichotomies on every conversation. Usually either because they have an ugly gun they need to justify, or because they have an unreliable safe queen they need to justify.

I can't vouch for its function, but looks fantastic!
I agree that a gun can have both.

I wish we could get away from writing on guns.

I'll be the judge. You bring it down here and let me test fire it. Enjoy it, my friend!

It's not form over function. It's form follows function.

Design starts with what you want to do (function), THEN you can figure out how to do it (form).

In this case the function is 1911, an form is how DW implemented it.

It's not form over function. It's form follows function.

In theory, that's absolutely correct; in practice, sometimes the designers swing and miss.

Beautiful DW, OP.

Nice 1911. I like how theres no fcs

That's not a bad idea, except for the semi-horrible drive from my location to yours, haha.

@bsim: You are correct!
