The Dan Wesson V-Bob delivers precision-engineered 1911 performance with modern manufacturing standards that exceed traditional production tolerances. This compact commander-size pistol combines the proven .45 ACP cartridge with premium materials and match-grade components for consistent accuracy and reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard production 1911s, the V-Bob features a forged stainless steel frame with integral beavertail safety that provides superior grip control and reduces slide bite. The match-grade barrel maintains tighter tolerances than typical factory barrels, while the serrated bead-blasted stainless steel slide offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Dan Wesson's hand-fitted construction process ensures proper headspace and timing that mass-produced pistols often lack.
Key Features
- Match-grade 4.25-inch barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
- Forged stainless steel frame with integral beavertail grip safety
- Serrated bead-blasted stainless steel slide with anti-glare finish
- Black G10 grip panels for secure handling in wet conditions

The V-Bob excels in competitive shooting scenarios where accuracy and reliability matter most. The 4.25-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability for concealed carry or duty use. Stainless steel construction resists environmental corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature extremes.
