Dan Wesson CBOB

[badassmini]

I need help in deciding if I should go ahead and buy a brand new CBOB for $1600 plus fees. This may the high end of the value of this gun knowing that this gun use to be under $1000 a few years ago makes me think at today's price might be too expensive. On the fence on this one. Need help in deciding.

$1600 before tax and fees, pass. For a little more you could get a baer.

I have to agree with chickenfried. It's an awesome gun you won't regret purchasing, but at just shy of double what I paid for mine, I'd pass as well. That's $500 too much.

For $100 to $400 more Baer gun territory. I'll check them out.

Been a while since I was in the market but this guy had good prices. Homepage says there's a baer sale right now. http://cj1911heaven.com/

The CBOB is a great gun, I have one and like it alot. I also have the sales receipt - $975.00 from City Arms in Pacifica. This was about 4 years back of course. I don't think I'd pay $1,600.00 for the gun - that's kind of like paying $20.00 for a pack of cigarettes in prison.

That's a funny analogy. I'm glad I asked the question on this forum. I'm going to post on the wanted forum if anyone wants to part with their CBOB.

OP, where was this? I just paid 1800 for mine!

[Sebass]

Ouch, for that price I would rather SSE a VBOB!

[sundayduffer]

I paid $1275 with all kinds of upgrades, hard hat finished, vz grips, trigger job, ect. I love it.

They were a great gun in 2008/09 for 1k. Now they are overpriced by about $400. At that price point get a Baer.

[badassmini]

I really appreciate everyone's post. I think I'm going to pass on this one. As much as I really like the CBOB, I'm going to have to agree with everyone's post. The Pistol is an excellent pistol but may be overpriced. Hopefully I find a used one at a reasonable price. Part of the fun is searching and finding.

DW CBOB's are very nice IMHO. I'd buy used and set my upper limit at $1,200 for one in nice condition. They pop up every once in a while here for around that (or less)...only issue usually being the take down latch scratch. Beyond the cosmetics of minor blemishes, you can get a nice hand gun for significantly less than brand new.

I paid $1050 for mine, wasn't into the neutered grip so flipped it for $1300.

Yes, this is the way to go, no doubt...
