Default Am I wrong??

I'm looking at the CZ Website this morning. I go to the CBOB page. Here's the link. Is the photo a CBOB? Or a stock photo of a CCO?

http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/...n-cco-bobtail/

Same photo showed up on one of the auction site. I contacted the dealer and he responded that he posted the same photo as the DW Site.

Someone enlighten me, cause I just don't see a Bobtail in the picture.
thanks in advance...
Da

Don't know (if you are wrong) but always thought the CCO Bobtail was just slightly rounded and not as angled as on the CBob or VBob. Want one, cannot afford one.

Hey Guys read the narative, it's a hybrid of the Cbob and CCO 4.25 slide and an Officer size frame with what looks like a CCO butt. I would prefer the Cbob butt, but maybe because its short a round (Officers frame) they felt that there wouldn't be enough grip to hang on to...
I still don't get marketing boyz? You come with one of the coolest concealed carry platforms ever, and pair it with impecable options and the sweetest machine work on the planet. You gotta know EVERYBODY wants one and then stop production... WHAT is with that???

It's a CCO. The bobtail on it is not nearly as pronounced as the CBOB's. Go back to the thread where you said you got permission to buy a CCO and look at the pic I posted, you can see that the bob on the frame is really quite small. Mike

De, the picture is of a CCO. If you go to:

http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/...assic-bobtail/

Hope this clears it up.

Yeah this is the CBOB but the pic is old they don't look exactly like it any more. The serrations are bigger, checkering and the markings are different. It's amazing how such a big company has such an out of date crappy website.

Ok... I think I got my confusion under control. Here's what I think I've figured out.

1. CBOB is the Classic stainless COMMANDER frame and slide, with a bobtail. No longer produced.
2. VBOB is an updated version of the CBOB, slightly different checkering, maybe different sights and grips. Small changes.
3. Guardian is a VBOB with an alloy frame.
4. CCO is an officer's alloy frame with a Commander slide

And in order of preference, I'm preferring
CCO in .45,
Then... oh my.....
The Guardian in 9mm (if I ever get the extra money)

Sounds about right. Dontchathink?
