Be still my heart, that is a damn fine looking firearm sir. I really like the DW CBOB and the CCO, the quality in those pistols is very impressive.

That is beautiful. I've never had one, but I kinda like that bobtail look and that SS looks great.

I believe it is the best 1911's for the buck... fit and finish is almost as good as a full custom like a Wilson.

Thanks guys.

They are right around $1K. Might get hard to find them soon though, unless you live in CA.
