The CZickness III

[wtburnette]

I think the CCO would be a great gun, but I'm definitely partial to the look/feel of the bobtail. Have you looked at the Guardian in 45? Bud's has the Guardian in 45 listed at just under $1400:

CZ-USA 01987 Dan Wesson 1911 Guardian 8+1 45ACP 4.3" $1,393.00 SHIPS FREE

Honestly, that V-Bob in the duty finish listed here a week or so ago was a heck of a deal, if only the timing had been better for you.

That was Jeff who sold that. I had horrible timing on it unfortunately. Oh well. That Guardian looks VERY nice! Grab a Gun has it for a similar price and I can use credit

for $300-400 more than a VBob, you could have this...
used Les Baer Commanche 45acp Concept VII $1,649.00 SHIPS FREE

this isn't the actual gun at Buds, but it's the same exact one

I like your LB, but the looks just don't do it for me for some reason. I don't like the cocking serrations on it and I don't care for the grips either (though that's easy to fix). I love the VBOB, Guardian and CCO, so I'm guessing one of those will be what I end up with. The CCO Jeff linked to is a great deal, but I'm thinking the Guardian at Grab a Gun is my leading candidate at this time.

for $1512 you can have the VBob which is a Valor top tier level piece.
Well worth the extra $120 bucks for the nicer fit & finish of a Valor

Is that for the stainless? Believe it or not, I'm actually looking at the duty coat, even though it'll run me over $1800

I'm telling you, and I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm a stainless/matte fan, but I'm really warming up to the Duty Finish. The proprietary DW Duty Finish is supposed to be crazy durable, not as prone to beauty marks as a glass bead finish is.

Wow, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled, as I have more options than I first thought.

Yep, I'm the same way. I LOVE stainless 1911's, but the duty coat on the Valor/Guardian/VBOB models just does it for me!

I wonder if that's a custom job? Maybe not, but the most common bobtails I ever see are DW, and the Smith & Wesson SC-E. Which is a very sharp gun too. I don't ever recall seeing a bobtail option on Springfield's website. Very interesting find, IGM!

 

[wtburnette]

I really like that. Too bad those aren't being produced and are probably as rare as hen's teeth!

The 2 tone.
I am past it now. I got the MilSpec home from Ceracoat today. Black frame and a charcoal slide....very nice.
I have it mostly together. Had a butt load of fit up left to do. This will be the last Older MilSpec I attempt to up-Grade.
Damned handsome gun.

Pics?

I know that I'm biased, but I like this thread being a combined CZ/1911 thread. Both are platforms that respond well to tuning and both are platforms that attract similar folks. It's no mistake that we have die hard 1911 folks buying CZs and die hard CZ folks looking at 1911s. We all value the same things in a pistol, so it's natural that we should find common ground here.

This pistol:

has me thinking again. I'm a fan of .40 and the idea of a compact 1911 in stainless, manufactured by a reputable maker is pretty appealing. I've also been looking at doing a custom build on a compact 1911 in 10mm, which has been my dream gun for a while. That one might have to wait a bit until I can stash some funds away though. A custom build is not a cheap route to take into a 1911 and bears the burden of being a failed project if it does not run well enough to trust to carry. As an iffy range gun, it's pretty much worthless to anyone except the builder.

But, that .40 would sure make a nice addition to the carry capable collection. I just need to find a way to afford it if that's what I want to do and that is getting tougher as my trading stock dwindles. On an unrelated note, I've decided to keep the scout rifle. I took it out today and reminded myself why I bought it. It was a sheer joy to shoot, even though we only ran 20 rounds through it. So, that one's off the table. The 930SPX is another that I've considrered trading or selling, so I need to keep from shooting it too.

On another completely unrelated note: Does anyone want to buy some leaves? I have lots of leaves that I'd be more than willing to sell for, oh, maybe $700. These are genuine Indiana silver maple leaves that can only be bought this time of the year. I'm sure that come spring, when you are missing fall, you could spread these around your yard and rake them back and forth to make you happy. Anyone interested? Anyone?

Tomorrow if I get the chance. It still needs grip screws and the sights mounted. The sights are supposed to be direct replacements to fit in the MilSpec dove tails but NNNNnnnoooooooooooo.....They are to large by just enough to cause me a headache.

Can't you see we are in the middle of a 1911 discussion?!


That is a great deal for anybody looking for a fortay.
