Great purchase tyrion. Dan Wesson builds an outstanding line of 1911s at reasonable prices. The CBOB alternates with a Glock 36 as my daily carry piece. (Yeah, I know its apples and oranges, but they are both super reliable.)

Thanks. It was recommended to me by MexicanDragon and boomana, I believe. I shoot well with it and with the Milt Sparks IWB holster grawk sent me to try out, it conceals pretty well with my shirt not tucked in. I am thinking of picking up a Kahr PM9 for days when I choose to carry but have to tuck my shirt in. I'm waiting for one to show up used locally or for my local shop to get one in.

I carry the Ed Brown Executive Commander which looks very similar to yours and it is a great carry gun. So easy to conceal.
Mike, I assume you have a proper gun belt. Carrying a 1911 with a good holster and a proper belt makes for an easy conceal. I get mine from the Belt Man.
Gun Belts by The Belt Man
I actually think the belt is more important than the holster as the difference between a good holster and a bad holster is not as big as the difference between a department store belt and a gun belt.

Jeff, your Ed Brown could be the twin of my gun, except for a few dollars more. The DW CBOB has a bunch of Ed Brown parts so I guess this shouldn't be a shock.
I will be ordering a couple of belts from the Belt Man as soon as I can measure. Thanks.

PM9s are keepers. Well designed as practical firearms, mechanically reliable, and particularly suited to their niche purpose.

That milt sparks holster is obviously my favorite. It's relatively belt agnostic, as you're clipping the holster to your waistband, and then using the belt to support it. It's the W6DT using the Alessi talon clips.

That's true, it does clip to the waistband as well. It doesn't look like he sells your model any longer. I may give one of his other IWB holsters a try.

I think Alessi still sells them, and lightning arms may still have some.

Shot a USPSA match (production class) today with a sub compact XD40. I'm hooked. My only goal was not to get DQ'ed. I succeeded. Also got to covet some beautiful race guns. Anyone else shoot competitions like this. The practical part of USPSA was eye-openingly true compared to plinking at the range.
Beginning of next month I shoot my first F-class 600yd match. I'm a twitch excited about that one.

Very nice! I just added a pristine original Colt 10MM Delta Elite to my collection.

Hey guys, I'm hoping to go to a shooting range over the summer and fire some shotguns and maybe some pistols (even though I'm under 21). What's the average price of partaking in such an activity, or does it vary wildly (i.e. how much ammo you use, how long you plan to use it, etc.)?

Ammunition is very scarce and expensive right now for the common calibers (9mm .40 .45). You don't them though. .22LR is very cheap and still available (here at least). If possible find an outdoor range with trap throwers, even if you have to travel further. Target shotgun loads are also cheap and available. Shooting clays is a kick. I think the last 500 .22 I bought was about $15 and it's about $25 for 100 target shogun loads. Range fees are going to vary.

I have an Elite also. I load my own 10mm and find with certain loads it functions flawlessly while with many commercial brand bullets in can be hit or miss.

$25 for 100 seems like a decent price. I was expecting something higher, up to $50. I didn't understand some of those terms, so I guess I'll be going onto Google and calling around to see what they have to offer. Thanks for the reply.
