I've been plotting to get a 1911 in .45 acp for about a year now.
had a full frame Auto Ordinance years ago and traded it off. No regrets. It was a real dog.
have always wanted a Commander size frame...
always liked the Colt lightweight commander and Combat commander.
have been drooling over a Dan Wesson CBOB for months.
finally have the cake to buy...
CBOB has gone up in price @ Bud's ~$75, and they are now oos.
I'm seeing NIB Lightweight commanders on GB for the same price as the CBOB @ Bud's.
So...
do I
1.) wait for Buds to get the CBOB back in stock... or ....
2.) buy a CBOB for ~$40 more on GB, or ...
3.) buy a lightweight commander (the LWC is Series 80)
So please help me think this one through...
Which style trigger block does the CBOB have?
Why does the CBOB state that it's only 7+? mag. issue? or something to do with the Bobtail?
should that even be an issue?
are there any problems with the alloy frames on the LWCs in .45?
how much weight is "really" saved on the LWC?
I may or may not carry the gun (have a compact 9 that I'm fine with) But will reload for it and shoot my little heart out.
Thanks in advance....
