Best grips for a Dan Wesson CBOB?
Thinking about buying my first 1911 really want a bobtail commander. Curious about the best grips available with no lead time. Any thoughts?
Update got some grips they look great pics in comments! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by kennymallory1; 08-17-2019 at 2:59 PM.. |

If I were going to change the grips on my CBOB, I would get some VZ Double Diamonds.

The stock grips work fine. Even so, I like the VZ Slants on my Valor bobtail. I also tried the VZ Recons, but they were a bit sharp. I sanded the Recons down and they are pretty good, but the Slants work better for me. Nice grip for doubles.

I found the stock grips on my CBOB slippery when shooting at an indoor range cooled by a swamp cooler, which made my hands sweaty. I just ordered a set of grips from Harrison Design that are made by VZ. I have them on another 1911 and really like the way the grooves help the grip without being too aggressive. Same price as VZ.

These ended up working out perfectly! Amboyna Burl starburst grips found them on eBay. Now I just need to DROS the pistol ha ha.

Loving the VZ grips on mine. Needed to change from the factory cocobolo due the hot temperature in the desert. Added traction helps with sweaty palms.

I'm guilty of the ammo part, but not the grips. PS: Great looking grips. Hope they feel as nice as they look.

I had actually purchased the pistol I just had to wait for the gun to be shipped to my FFL then 10 day wait period. Admittedly I have done that before thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by kennymallory1; 08-18-2019 at 8:13 AM.. |

You can buy any G10 grips and sand or Dremel off the lower back corner off to make it a Bobtail grip. So as a result your choices are wide open.
A wood grip set usually would have to get a new coat of something clear and shiny if you sanded on them. |

That's what I did for my CBOB. Took an extra set of VZ thin grips, cut the corners and then dragged them over 600 grit emory paper to form bevels. -And they can still be used on standard pistols without looking strange.
