Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the "Bobtail" design better for concealed carry?

The bobtail mainspring housing features a rounded, abbreviated profile at the base of the grip frame. This reduction in grip length minimizes the sharp corner that can dig into your side during carry and significantly reduces printing — the telltale outline of a firearm under clothing. The result is a more comfortable all-day carry experience without sacrificing the full-size 1911 trigger or control layout you're accustomed to.

How does the CCO configuration differ from a standard Commander or Officer 1911?

The CCO (Concealed Carry Officer) configuration combines a Commander-length slide and barrel (4.25") with an Officer-size frame. This gives you the reliability and velocity benefits of the longer barrel while keeping the grip compact and easier to conceal. The Dan Wesson Bobtail CCO refines this formula further with the bobbed mainspring housing and premium stainless construction.

What ammunition is recommended for the Dan Wesson Bobtail CCO?

The Bobtail CCO is chambered in .45 ACP and is designed to feed reliably with quality ball (FMJ) ammunition for range use, as well as premium hollow point defensive loads such as Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, or Hornady Critical Defense. As with any 1911-pattern pistol, it is recommended to break in the firearm with at least 200–300 rounds of FMJ before transitioning to your preferred carry ammunition to ensure reliable feeding and function.
