Which Dan Wesson ?

[bombadillo]

Oh, and one last thing I may add is that buds says the last price is 1102 which is false. I got it for 1125 shipped unless they're taking off the shipping or something which they may be doing.

[GnarlyMilk]

Hahah no worries! yea iono what the 1102 is when I was going to buy it I was going to pay 1125 shipped. I hope your deal goes smooth as well. There sick guns!!

What did you get yours off of gunbroker for?

DW Cbob only made 200 in 2010 model and it been very hard to fine most use CBOB is 2009 or early.
at Flower Cbob is go for $1595 +rtax+dors and it 2010 model, for me price is high.n but is very hard to fine also.(if U have money I will get CBOB)

PM7 is good also.... for price around $1300 litter high then Kimber but is litter better gun for price.

5"and 4.25" didn't make any diffend in 25 yard or less... is your call
I will go with the one I like and have money to spend on...

good luck

$1500+ for a CBOB? Are you crazy? Screw Dan Wesson then. There are much better guns for $1500+.

Can you provide a link to a new 2010, commander sized 1911 that is bob'd for less than $1500? I can, but they are sold out:

Nighthawk, Wilson and Ed Brown seem to be asking a bit more for a bob-tail, if there is a less expensive alternative that is actually better, I would seriously like to know.

To each their own. I bought my CBOB in '08 before they were using forged frames. With the annual price increases and them now using forged frames the price sounds about right. Not to mention if your DW is one of the few that needs to go back to factory they will take care of you...some of the best CS I've ever known.

There probably are better guns than DW, but even for $1500, it's still not a bad deal (now with a forged frame, still use Ed Brown parts, 70's design, great cust svc).

How much better are the guns at $1600? $1800? $2000? I don't have that answer, but I'll bet not much better.

Just my $0.02

I would agree with this. After you get to a certain level, the price you pay goes exponentially up compared to the benefit received.

Got mine from gunsamerica.com 1089.00 + 25 for shipping. Then rifle gear is 75.00 for FFL+DROS so all together I am 1189 deep. NOT BAD from what I have seen around Cali. Ade's has one for 1399.00, other than that good luck finding one in CA...Grants told me to give them 1260 ( not including DROS ) and they would search for one. Said it could be weeks or months before they find one...

My feeling on the HIGH END 1911's like Wilson Combat's, Les Baer, NightHawk and others is when you get into those there more like a art form. Your not really going to want to carry your 5000.00 gun around in holster or use as your normal shooter and dirty/ding it up. Most are safe queens brought out to be shot only a few times and to show off. Some may be using there expensive gun as a every day shooter but I wouldn't. Then again I don't have unlimited amounts of $$ lol.

[bombadillo]

I'm out $1200 on the nose after FFL fees and everything so you actually got a better deal than I did! Congrats and post up some shots when you get it. It'll be almost a month for me!

[wamphyri13]

Don't think of it as being "out" $1200, rather as being "up" $300.

[GnarlyMilk]

Bomb - why a month? Iono if I could handle a month wait :X but the day you get it will sure be a sweet one !

[bombadillo]

I have to wait a month because I just picked up a new Ruger MKIII Comp. at a dealer. I asked him if he would hold the gun for me if I bought it right away. He agreed to hold it till I could dros it and that won't be till the 12th of may. Then the 22nd of may I can pick it up! I freakin hate california sometimes! I'm already eyeballing my next too which will be a Smith 629 8.5" bbl .44mag

[GnarlyMilk]

Ahh i c.. the wife wants her "own" gun now. So got to save up here so I can get her off my back :X. My next gun may be a kimber, but I think I need to get a cbob... Then ill have both rostered DWs hahah.

I shoot all my guns, including my Baer. If I don't shoot it, I don't keep it. (And I'm not made of $$$, either. )

Nice pick-up on the DW, btw.
