Can a CBOB 10mm be as reliable as a Glock?

Having small hands single stack appeals to me. HOWEVER, what doesn't appeal to me is paying $900 for a picky pistol. I do understand to an extent that 1911's are built with more hand fitted parts and tight tolerances.

I like the power of the 10mm round in the pretty and hand fitting 1911 platform.

I've seen threads after searching every forum that indicate I have cause for concern about reliability on the Dan Wesson CBOB.

I really want to like the DW CBOB 10mm. Am I wrong to be considering this pistol for daily CCW?

While I haven't felt it in person, I'm almost sure the Glock 29 will be to thick for my hands. I can probably force it to work OK, but would prefer something I can use one handed if need be.

I don't understand why people would have issues with a $900 gun if Dan Wesson test fires each one.

Is it possible/likely to get a 2007 DW CBOB 10mm that is reliable as a Glock from Day 1?

Thanks a lot in advance.

So far my 07 cbob has been flawless as has my RZ-10 06 model..

Just like everything they depend how you feed them and treat them .

Glocks are not as great as lots think they are i sold my 20 to buy the Cbob in 10mm

I have shot a G29 before with full power loads, and must say it is a handful. I have never shot a 10mm in a 1911 platform. With that said, I would not hesitate to get a DW.

Hi Bud,

Have read your posts on other forums.

Would the CBOB make a good daily CCW in your opinion?

After a couple hundred rounds to make sure no problems absolutely .. I carry a 4 1/4 1911 now only gripe is what the cbob solves on some shirts they like to hang up on the corner of the grip other it doesn't matter..

i also don;t notice any difference when shooting the cbob VS a fullsize or a commander with normal grip

Every 1911 I own is as least as reliable as any Glock I've actually seen on the range; I'd hope the Dan Wesson guns are at least that good.

Dean,
First off, just to be fair, I have enough experience with Glocks to understand that for me (and only speaking for me), they are a no-go. They don't fit my hand and I cannot shoot them worth a darn. Is that the guns fault? NO.
My CBOB went through what I consider to be an acceptable 200 round break-in period. After that point (which involved a thorough cleaning of pistol and mags and new recoil spring), I am at 2000 rounds without a single malfunction. I have shot a mix of 90%/10% reloads to factory and they all work. To answer your question, my 10mm CBOB is completely reliable and has become a carry gun for me. I trust the gun with my life and know that it works for me.

Thanks for the replies, folks.

I'm set up for having several good sales over the next couple months.

So, I may get the CBOB and a 'plastic' 9mm gun in the coming weeks.

bigmedicine: You really thought just 200rds was enough to trust it for carry?

I'm thinking 300-400 or thereabouts. But I suppose if it's flawless for 200rds there would be good confidence.
