I don't exactly know how much worse this old 1911 Addict could get, but it has happened.
About a year ago I came down with the Dan Wesson flu that ended up with me buying 4 Bobtail's, A Duty Treat Valor, and a custom Silverback in 10mm. That last one is the problem. It was my first 10mm I'd ever owned.
That Silverback has been perfect on the range thru 300 rounds, mostly my own hand loads and offerings from Underwood and Buffalo Bore. I really love this mild to wild 10mm cartridge.
IMHO, It may be the most perfect 1911 round ever conceived. It's hard hitting if you want it to be, accurate, reliable.
Since then I converted my Glock30sf, and bought a Glock 40 and a G20 top end.
Yet my fever continued to rage!
So being a Bobtailed Commander as well as a 10mm fan, it didn't take long for me to ask myself!
What if.... So I started looking for someone to build me a 10mm Commander.
Wow... Did I hit brick wall. All the folks from WC, NHC, EB, LB, GI said no.
Only Dan Wesson and Fusion said they would build a 10mm Commander, so being a Big Dan Wesson fan already, along with the hit and miss reports I've read about Fusion, I contacted Keith at DW and ordered a Duty Treated Custom 10mm VBob. I'm about 4 weeks into an 8-12 week wait.
But wait there is more.
As an addict I was browsing around Gunslingers I came across a WC CQB in 10mm.
That lead to contacting George, and quotes, and bla, bla bla!
So on layaway it went. And the waiting will be tough.
So hopefully this fever is about to break, at least for a bit.
Here is a sneak peak of the CQB George is holding for me

Congrats and good luck with the procurements... ;)
...and I thought the 10mm bug hit me bad?!??! ;D
Congrats on those fine acquisitions. From my perspective, those are some of the very best.
I don't really see you being able to add anything else to that lineup... except maybe a DW Bruin?
Congrats on all your great 10mm. I got hit with the10 bug as well. I now have a Heine 6" NHC, a custom Falcon 5" NHC, and a Glock 20 all in 10mm. I am thinking of a commander also and since I have two Vbobs and a Guardian from DW I am very interested in your Vbob custom. I will say don't try a 6" 1911 10mm or you will want that also!! I cant wait to hear about your new Vbob when you get it. My advise, don't seek treatment just go with it!!
Awesome post!
I have had the 10mm fever for a while and just broke down and purchased a Dan Wesson Silverback. Wow what a shooter. Love this gun!!!
Mdoerst, welcome to the forum and the world of 10mm excitement! Congrats with that Dan Wesson Silverback it should be a very nice shooter.
Best regards! :D
You must be single !!!! :o
Well yesterday I picked up my long awaited 10mm CQB.
For the most part I'm very happy with the pistol. It's fit an finish are outstanding.
The one thing I was totally un-prepared for was the seriously creepy trigger.
Both my dealer and gunsmith and I agree that this is one that slipped through the cracks.
Not to worry though, I had purchased a WC Long match trigger along with some CocoBolo WC grips and I took care of the creepy trigger pull while installing them. Now it a clean crisp 4.25#'s
Now to get to the range.
