Not a 2011

The signature feature of a 2011 is a completely interchangeable grip module. What you have there is a double stack 1911. But very nice - congrats!

PS - this is a 2011 frame:

Beautiful piece. Let us know how it shoots. I picked up my first 2011 last month and was blown away by it within the first 50 rounds.

Yup, that's what a 2011 looks like

And it must have large magwell that is completely beat up on the inside. 2011 is a work-horse for high-volume shooting.

very nice!

Whats the price on mags for that? I have a STI 2011 and they were super expensive, over 50 each I think.

[Palmaris]

Very nice gun. Congrats!
Not 2011 as mentioned above.

[Tarmy]

Love any Wilson...nice OP.

Congrats! Enjoy!

Indeed a very nice pistola! Congrats!

It is a 1911 Widebody for the correct term. Many youtubers seem to use the 2011 name in error. Caspian and Para Ord (Remmie), some of the old players in the 1911 widebody race were not called 2011s. 2011 was used by STI and the name stuck to any widebody 1911. I remember Chip McCormick’s name on these 2011s also. Kind of like ordering “Pop” for soda, do you know which cola you’ll get? Did SVI claim to be a 2011?

Wilson (including specificially for the Op's gun) Nighthawk, Para (the original - the first), and others along with most gun writers call them double stack.

And SVI nor anyone else doesn't claim to be a 2011 unless they want to get sued - because 2011 is a trademark of STI. And though SVI and STI shared the patent after their split, and their 2011 patent has now expired, the STI 2011 trademark hasn't

The modularity of the 2011 frame is what separates it from a double stack 1911. And in particular the use of a polymer grip module has several advantages especially when it comes to felt recoil but also maintaining essentially the same grip width as a 1911A1, as described repeatedly in the patent filing, which is why calling them 'wide bodies' is sort of weird

You will love it! Congrats! I have had mine for just about a year and am still amazed how well it shoots. I had the guys at Precision Holsters make an OWB holster so I can shoot it in classes or competition.

Can’t wait for the CZ DWX... errrr.. nevermind it’s not in the roster either.
