Wilson Combat has been manufacturing high end 1911 pistols since 1977. The compact is one of those such pistols. Made using the highest quality materials and machined to tolerances, which results in a smooth and accurate firearm that will last a lifetime. The .45 ACP compact is a scaled-down version of the full size, which makes it ideal for concealed carry. The carbon steel frame has a high checkered front strap for positive grip, and the beavertail safety and thumb safety provide consistent and reliable operation under any condition. Other features include a contoured mag well for smoother reloads, and the crisp 3.5lb-4.5lb trigger breaks clean with a quick reset. The 4'' stainless steel match grade hand fit barrel delivers an exceptional level of accuracy, especially for a compact carry gun. The carbon steel slide is topped with the Wilson Combat battle sights with fiber optic front sight offers a superior sight picture in most lighting conditions. Starburst G10 style grips give the Wilson Combat CQB compact a unique look and hold firm in hand under less than ideal conditions.
