Hello from Orange County, CA
 

Hi All,

Just wanted to say hi from OC, SoCal. Came here via 1911forum after seeing COTEP in the signatures in the Dan Wesson subforum. Really looking forward to an incoming DW CBOB (NIB, never fired) that's going to replace my Glock 23 for EDC. CCW'd in CA, and awaiting non-resident CCW's from Utah and Arizona.

Yes, the CBOB is my first 1911, and already have eyes on the next ones. Looking forward to immersing myself in the world of 1911's here and the other forum; been wanting to transition from polymer .40's to a 1911 .45 for some time and a great opportunity came up with the CBOB. While waiting in gun jail, I've already ordered a Slim XC IWB and canted double mag holder from TT Gunleather, and a Regulator OWB in shark trim from UBG Holsters; have similar holsters from them for my G27, G23 and M&P40.

Here are some sigbars I've created (have made others for another forum), feel free to use in your signature that allows an image. I'm frequently on Calguns, spending more time on 1911forum and now here; not enough 1911 focus on Calguns.

Looking forward to spending time here!

Welcome to the forum and let us know how the pistol is when you get it.

Sorry about the gun jail. Welcome to our crazy world.

Welcome to Our Own Little Forum,

Welcome from the Gunshine State...

Say...you're not affiliated with E llison, are you?

Welcome to our forum!

Welcome to the insanity!

Where at in the OC? My sis lives in Aliso Viejo. Next time I'm down there, we'll go to OnTarget and shoot.

Did you get your Cbob from Socalmedix on Calguns? Tell me you did not pay his asking price!

Welcome to the forum Jubz!!!:)

Welcome to COTEP from CT. One of the stupidest moments of my life (and there were many entries for "stupidest") included not buying a CBOB for $750 two years ago. I couldn't decide, by the time I did, someone else decided quicker.

I'm glad you were smarter than me.

Welcome to a great forum.

howdy and welcome from Texas.:)

Welcome from Amarillo!

Welcome to the asylum.

Welcome to Mayberry, Jubz!

Thanks for the welcome all!

Skosh, sounds great re: On Target; been a member there for a couple of years. I'm 15 minutes south of On Target.

And yes, got the CBOB from Socalmedix, great guy. Had to drive 90 minutes to Gun World in Burbank to PPT, not too bad. The next drive next week will be worth it though. And ... got it for $1600 cash and it came with all the original stuff; papers, spent shell, DW wrench, 2 DW/Checkmate mags, case. He bought it new in 2008 and has never fired it, it was immaculate. Along with the extra DW Shadow grips, he also threw in some Wolf springs (recoil, firing pin) he never installed. I'm keeping it stock until I get a good feel for it.

Here's the photo from his WTS post:

Thanks. Nope, actually just met Ellison/skosh69 in this thread and now see he's also on Calguns which I frequent a lot.

Addendum: LOL, cool how E llison shows up as Ellison; and I thought you just hit the space bar by accident.

Wow, $750 for a CBOB. And to think that new Rock Island Armory 1911's go for almost $600 now, or maybe a few hundred less a few years ago. Still the difference in quality is ginormous.

I've been thinking of switching to a 1911 .45 to replace my .40 for EDC. Came across an Ed Brown Kobra Carry at a LGS and fell in love with it, but it was $3K. Then researched and found out about the DW's, came across a NIB deal, and I was done for. This CBOB will be put to good use on my side.

Welcome!

Welcome from close by. I'm on the LA/OC border. Maybe we can work out a group shoot one of these days.
