Bobtail

[Snapping Twig]

Got it last Friday and found my way to the range.

This pistol was used but new and had a round count of 300 when I got it. I've put another 320 through it and I have to say it - this WILL be my carry gun should I ever need one. Totally reliable, accurate and just feels damn good in my hand.

I shoot a cast 230g TC over 5.3g W231 and this Bobtail feeds it like poop through a goose. I'm confident enough with this pistol to take it hog hunting. With a 230g TC moving @ 800fps, it will do the job - no doubt.







Slide to frame fit - outstanding!



I took the center out of 6 targets so far. I'm jazzed to say the least. Well worth the effort I expended to make this happen.

is the bobtail a reference to the hard tail grip safety or the mainspring housing?

Dan Wesson revolvers proved themselves in competition many years ago. Their 1911s are outstanding as well.

[Saigon1965]

It's the mainspring cut out for additional comfort carrying -

Tanx Saigon/ That's a great design.

I've replaced all my 1911 mainspring housings with rounded ones. And on second look that grip safety doesn't look like a hard tail.

I gotta save up money for a DW Bobtail. Congrats on your pistol!

Nice CBOB, I was eyeing that one myself. Still holding out for one with a SS hammer but if I had any common sense I'd just buy one aftermarket and swap it out.

[Snapping Twig]

AFAIK, the SS hammers were STI products and the blued ones are Ed Brown.

I like Ed Brown parts, so when I saw this, I jumped on it.
