I'm "official". I've purchased my first Dan Wesson 1911. I chose the CCO. Why? Because I can't afford the V-Bob yet, and didn't want the Guardian (yet).
It took a week to get it delivered from the venerable Dave Severns Custom. I was told over and over to go to Dave... he would "take care" of me. And he did. Including my repeated phone calls, not understanding the difference between a CBOB and a CCO bobtail (which we both agree shouldn't be called a bobtail. Its confusing!)
On to the presentation: Here's what it looks like "in the box". au naturale...

Two mags, an oiler, the gun, a lock. and documents (which I haven't even looked at yet!) My bad....
I did a field strip of the firearm, and cleaned and lubed it up for the trip to the range. I won't bore you with pictures, Its a 1911 for crying out loud! If you're here... you know what one looks like taken apart. POINT IS: There are NO mim parts. Anywhere.
Today: took the CCO to the range. Bad day at work. Needed stress reduction. Go shooting!!! With new CCO. Yeah... I liked it. and I'll admit it.
Here is the picture of the results of my labors. It was seven shots at 210 yards. No make that 21 yards..... ok.... it was at 21 feet. Get over it.

I put about 150 rounds through the weapon today. Ran it VERY wet. Lots of FP-10. I still smell like a Browne and Sharpe Screw Machine after a 10 hour day of overtime. The new gun got dirty. not that you'd; believe me... but heres the pictures during cleaning:

Throughout it all, GoldenVolt's kids were cheering wildly:
