It's just a excellent setup and I have to say I shot this gun just as good or better than my 5" Heritage and VBOB, there all close though. I need to take all three of mine out together and shoot them all the same day and compare. I haven't done that yet. Mainly cause I like to clean my guns after ever range trip so cleaning 3 or 4 -1911's at once is a little much sometimes unless you just do a quick wipe down, bore snake and relube. Which I might do sometimes

Anyways thanks, love the Dan Wessons

I know this isn't the blade forum but since this thread was started I just received my M1911 compact in the mail today.

I have to say the guy who makes these knives is very talented and even the box the knife and extras came in is very nice with his logo and all. It just shows quality of work IMO.

Very nice knife I do want to get some slim line grips for it but anyways here are the grips and knife I got. Basically matches my VBOB (kind of).





Now with my grips off of my new CCO, I wish I could keep them on there but I have to wait until I get some custom Slim grips for my CCO then they might go back on.



Now the internals, very nice.

Close up of the 1911 to 2011 Stamp, I forgot to ask if he is only doing this for this year.



Excellent knife and idea. I will probably get one of his fixed blades next that take the normal size 1911 grips. Plus I got mine in 440C stainless but my next will be his nicer CMP S30V steel.

I know I haven't taken pics next to one of my Dan Wesson's yet but there coming

Thanks,

Not going to ramble on much today, all I am reall going to say is WOW! This pistol is all on the money and not one malfunction. No BS.

First 8 rounds out of the CCO at about 9 yards, sorry blurry pic -it was breezy in there.


Same target as above but put 3 more magazines through it. So this is the first 29 rounds out of my new CCO at about 9 yards.


After those first rounds you see above I started shooting at different distances and it just got better and better. Even when I went all the way out to 25 yards I was able to keep them all on target and well centered, I was very impressed

I was by myself shooting at the range but I am going to try and have someone come and take some pics and videos of me shooting all of my Dan Wesson's. I want to do a comparison video between the DW Heritage, VBOB and the CCO just for fun.
Once I can talk a buddy into going to the range and do some shooting with me and also help me shoot some video and take pics I will start a new thread and post my fun filled findings. I think they are all on the money, I think my big difference in outcome comes down to what sights I have on each pistol. I have always been a 3 dot sight guy - like the ones that are on the CCO those sights are just perfect IMO ( well at least for me, everyone has there own preference ).

Anyway, blah, blah I love this new gun. CCO is awesome!

Question - I know I can always contact Keith but does anyone know (or have you done it) if the dovetail cut for the rear sight on the VBOB (which has the Heinie ledge sight on the rear) and placement would allow me to install Novak style rear sight just like what's on the CCO? I'm sure I can and I know I can figure it out myself but just figured I would ask.

New M1911 knife next to CCO...

Now if only I could find an extra set of the Officers / compact sized DW grips just like the ones that are on my CCO (The stock ones that come on the CCO) to put on my new M1911 knife this would be the perfect match

Thank you all for the replies,

Not the right thread but what the hell...
Well I might as well put up the pic of the M1911 folder knife that pretty much matches my VBOB, I bought it to kinda match I guess. =
