I have a CBOB, had it about 4 years now.

Got to shoot it side by side with a KC.

Differences...

I found the KC sights better, the cobra pattern was very comfortable and the glass bead blast finish is superior, but for the difference in price - get the CBOB.

Wasn't better enough to justify the differential.

Mind you, I bought my CBOB when you could get them for under a grand, so that's my benchmark. These days, it's a smaller difference and with today's pricing it isn't so big a jump to get the KC.

Therefore, if you have two new examples in your hand at an LGS, get the one you like best.

Dan Wessons 1911s are like buying a Wilson combat pistol for the price of a Springfield.

If you can buy a Cbob, buy it, you wont' regret it. I bought a used one a few years back, I love it.

I own the VBob. Paid more than I should have but I have zero regrets about it! Had to SSE it and I absolutely love it. I did hear there was a fire at dan wesson making things hard to get last year. Prices jumped a bit but might be normal now.

+1 for the CBOB. I bought mine used a few years ago, and I absolutely love it. It's my only 1911 at the moment, but when its time for another, it will either be a VBOB, or a Fusion T-comm. I love the clean slides. Here's my '09 CBOB

Pretty nice slide to frame fit, not overly tight and ultra smooth

I like the CBOB's a lot, but I prefer alloy frames for carry 1911's.

Not to thread jack but are there any significant differences between the vbob and cbob?

Yes....Vbob has more hand fitting done to it. Different rear sights, trigger MSH ,has a satin finish., costs a few hundred more. Also available in either SS or Duty finish ( black coating)
