Wilson Combat: Built to Order

1Nothing shoots like a 1911. The crisp single-action trigger pull and comfortable grip angle has been pleasing shooters for over 100 years now, and the market for the 1911 pattern pistol shows no signs of waning anytime soon.

There are and have been so many manufacturers of 1911 semi-automatic pistols out there that to list them all would be time consuming and a history lesson in it of itself (who knew that a sewing machine company could tool up and make them?). Regardless, the 1911 is immensely popular and its single stack magazine and availability in a variety of calibers contribute to it being so popular in US States and Countries abroad where caliber and capacity restrictions are in place. The fact of the matter is that if you live in a place where pistols are legal to own, you can walk into a gun shop and see a display case full of 1911 pistols from a smattering of makers like Colt, Springfield, Sig, Kimber, Rock Island, Remington, and many more. You may also see a small section with a few guns from high end makers. These include STI, Les Baer, Ed Brown, and of course Wilson Combat.
