Dan Wesson Commander Classic Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Produced only in small numbers in recent years, a resurgence in demand means we brought the Commander Classic Bobtail back into regular production. One of the few California-legal models in our 1911 line, it has a loyal and growing following in the Golden State. With stainless steel slide and frame, its flats are brushed and rounds are bead blasted. With snag-free Tritium sights and a bobbed mainspring housing, it is an excellent candidate for concealed carry.

The Dan Wesson Classic Commander Bobtail is just that,a Classic! This version of the 1911 is a testament to John Browning's great design that served the US military for 75 years. It's reliable, accurate and well made. It has the quality of a custom 1911 a

I'm still breaking it in, but so far I am very happy with it. The trigger is crisp and about 4.5 lbs with little take-up. The fit and finish is great. Cosmetically, I like the fact that the slide is clean except for the small "Classic" lettering on the le

I am a big D.W. fan and have several, including a VBob. I actually bought a CBob back in 2010 or 2011 new for $825 out the door at a local shop. Times have changed and I wish that I still had that one. But this new one is outstanding, the finish is beauti

This was my first gun purchase f/Buds. I had placed the gun on layaway and got it out within a month. Once the gun was paid in full there was some confusion as to if the gun was even in stock. Buds was quick to follow up and called back the same day to co

The most beautiful gun I have ever seen in person, not heavy and not light it is perfect for its size. Its smaller size as well as being bobtail makes it a lot easier to CCW for us skinny fellas. This is the first Dan Wesson firearm I have ever purchased

The Dan Wesson Classic Bobtail CBOB is an outstanding 1911. I own Ed Brown, Les Baer and Nighthawk and the CBOB is so close to the quality of these 1911s. For the price if I were buying a 1911 from all the ones available it would be the Dan Wesson. These

Excellent carry gun. Heavier than an aluminum framed model, but it definitely absorbs recoil better for range days. The gun shoots excellently, no "break-in" period was required, it just worked out of the box. The slide to frame fit is very tight, no play

Amazing 1911,super accurate and the quality is unbelievable . Don't think twice....the same quality with a $3000-$4000 gun . This is by far the most underrated tier 1 gun available on the market.
