It seems reasonable in CA, but keep in mind you're paying $1,500.00 for a pistol based on artificially limited availability.

I have a DW CBOB and a PM7, bought each of them new about about a week apart 5 or 6 years ago when they were still fairly common in CA. For "non-custom" 1911s I think they're about the best out there. Simple, solid and well made. I'm very happy with them both, especially the CBOB.

I paid $975.00 for each of mine and knowing they're tough to find, were I to sell them, (I'm not) I'd be happy as heck to get $1,300.00. You might try a bit of bargaining with him.

What year is it? If you are looking at a 2010 or newer, I'd be all over it. They have the forged frames and the FSC is cleaner.

I know a guy that just paid $1600 for a NIB '08 model. Sorry, but I believe that was just a tad over priced, considering a new one is $1675 and has a forged frame.

Bear in mind, with the DW factory fire last year, DW's are hard to find right now, so don't hesitate too long.

If it's any consolation, I paid $1100 for my used '09 Cbob a year and a half ago.

Get it while you can, you will not be disappointed!

That's about the going rate.

[skosh69]

That's about right, new. If you are not wanting to wait, want very new condition, and are okay with not saving a buck or two, that seems like a good price. The CBOB is hard to come by in that I've not seen too many up for sale. It's a very nice compact pistol (I know, I have one and paid just under $1k in used condition). Wesson offers other compact bob tails but they are not on the CA approved list (but you can get one SSE).


If you really want a compact bob tail pistol, I think you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Good luck.

Cbob's, Vbob's and Guardian's are not COMPACT Models...they are Commander sized, 4.25".

The gun has the test fire casing from late 2010.

Then I would be all over it as I stated earlier.

try finding one cheaper...try even finding one...just look at some of the ridiculous prices on the market place here....i seen a glock for $1000 and a cz for a lil less the other day...i loled...at least youll be getting a real nice piece...i have a late 2010 pm7 that i thought about selling...wondered what i could get...but then i realized i really like this gun...very nicely made

I had sold a PM7 previously too, as soon as I walked out of the FFL, I had seller's remorse... so I went and found myself another one.

Now if I can just find a CBOB, VBOB/Valor (SSE) for a decent price...

[HPGunner]

I over paid for my CBOB, but my judgement was clouded from wanting one for so long. I paid $1600 here on Calguns. I love the gun and it was in good shape. Good luck finding a new one. In hindsight I should have dropped down another $300 and got a Valor via SSE.

My PM7 on the other hand I purchased brand new from Bud's prior to the price hike on them a couple of years ago. I believe it was $975 new, and prior to FFL's collecting sales tax.

I have a DW PM-7 and the quality is good for a production gun. Keep in mind DW offers a 3 year warranty. I also have a SA Loaded and SA warrants their guns for life. If I were in the market for another 1911, I might seriously consider the TRP for a comparable price. I did have to send my DW PM-7 back to them for work due to feeding issues. They honored the warranty and now it is a good gun.

For that money, get a used les baer for a few hundred more...

[Old4eyes]

If it really only has a few hundred rounds through it, it would be a good price. Not a great price. You might be able to snag a used Les Baer for slightly more, but a bird in the hand sort of thing would have me getting the CBOB since it is available to you now.

I got a 2012 CBOB new for a little more than what you could for a slightly used one. And I grabbed while the grabbing was good.

i thought they discontinued the cbob in 2010?

[dc2integra]

Yea that price sounds reasonable.

I'd consider dropping another couple hundred for a Vbob, personally, but DW's are hard to come by right now. Shop around, check Gunbroker, make sure there isn't a better buy out there, but you won't regret your purchase. They make a fine 1911.
