Description
The Dan Wesson V-Bob is a Commander-size 1911 variant chambered in .45 ACP and purpose-built as a carry-ready handgun. Its defining feature is a bobbed mainspring housing that smooths the grip profile for comfortable concealed carry, paired with a shortened 4.25″ match-grade barrel for improved maneuverability without giving up accuracy.
Built around a stainless steel frame fitted with a beavertail, the V-Bob carries an 8+1 capacity and runs on a crisp SAO (Single Action Only) trigger. A clean two-tone look comes from the blued stainless steel slide with serrations, which provides both visual contrast against the stainless frame and a positive gripping surface for press checks and slide manipulation.
Control surfaces are set up for both right- and left-handed shooters thanks to the ambidextrous thumb and grip safeties. The pistol wears tapered Black/Gray G10 grips for a slim, secure hold, and is equipped with a night front sight paired with a U-notch rear for fast, intuitive sight acquisition in varied lighting.
The V-Bob brings the classic 1911 shooting experience – light single-action trigger, single-stack .45 ACP feed, and clean lines – in a more compact, carry-friendly package.
