I'm trying to determine the differences between an older CQB (marked as Service Grade) and the current production CQB's.

From what I can tell, it has the old style Night-eyes and a Bulletproof slide stop. Would there be anything else different?

Can I assume that the hammer/sear and other small parts are also bulletproof or would they be MIM like the current guns?

If anyone has an old Wilson's Catalog that they could check, it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

I think that the older CQB's had tool steel parts instead of the MIM parts of the newer generation. Thats all I could fing in my 1999 catalog.

The only changes I've been able to discern are that only the hammer and sear are MIM in the newer guns. These were formerly WC's 1st Gen. Bulletproof Hammer (now discontinued) and tool-steel sear. I am told by Wilson Combat that the new speed hammers are cyro-treated like the old Bulletproof part and that the older version was not well received.

Ummm, let me get this straight...the newer CQB's which go for around 1700 dollars have MIM parts in them? If so, they should drop the price. I'm not gonna pay that much for a gun, and not have tool steel parts in it.

I have a CQB and had the MIM parts removed before delivery. Wilson's will do it for $50.00. By the way my CQB shoots better that I do and it's fit and finish is second to none.
