I picked one up a few years ago. I believe CZ/Dan Wesson made the CBOB concurrently with the VBOB as the CBOB was recognized by the Ca. roster. I agree that the bobbed grip is not as appealing looks wise as a standard frame, but I think that is due to it being "non traditional" more than anything else. It feels great in the hand and is much easier in avoiding printing. Hard to believe that small change makes such a difference.
Solid, reliable and accurate. I especially like the clean slide. You will enjoy it!
