Wilson Combat CQB

I personally don't know anyone who "hates" forward cocking serrations.

You do now

You do now

I don't care for the way they look either but they are very useful. On a working gun I would keep them. With an occasional range, beauty queen carry cuts or naked slide please. Skosh69 has a beautiful example of this.

It's been years since I have been in the 1911 game but back in the 90's Wilson was top dog with the CQB being the top tactical model. In the last 15 years a lot of custom gunsmiths have entered the market or older smiths upped their game and modernized their line. With that said do Wilson's still rule them all?

It seems that Wilson, Brown, NightHawk, & Baer's are what's recommended

Thanks for the input guys! Actually I called them to have one made & they had one that was just finished. The person who ordered it cancelled so I called a Wilson distributor who picked it up for me & sold it to me for cheaper than what they were asking.

That's great. It was definitely meant for you to have one. Now please post a picture of that bad boy.

Don't forget about the Springer Professional.

Yes! However, they're pretty rare

What do you guys think of ball end mill cuts on the slide? Or should I keep it as it?

[locknutore]

I too hate the green frame which has held me back.

Ball cuts make FCS more palatable imo.

I don't think all the WC CQB Elite's come with green frame. Mine is black and is a beauty. Too had she's in jail waiting for me to bail her out.

Guncrafter Industries belongs in that group. Alex Zimmermann worked as a gunsmith for Wilson for several years. The tolerance on his pistols are tight, almost like a Baer. I wish I knew about Guncrafter before SSE ended. Damn roster.
