• CQB Series - The Foundation The CQB full-size 1911 pistol is the standard for our CQB family of pistols and remains our most popular model. Available in .45 ACP, 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, and .38 Super, the CQB delivers quality, reliability, and accuracy modern shooters demand. Available in Full-Size, Commander, and Compact configurations for any carry or duty requirement.

• CQB Elite Series - Enhanced Performance The CQB Elite blows the competition away with a standard package of custom features designed to meet the needs of professionals. Features include Bullet Proof parts throughout, slide serrations, Battlesight rear sight with fiber optic front sight, checkered mainspring housing and front strap, and G10 grips with magazine release cutout.

• Tactical Supergrade Series - Wilson Combat Supergrade handguns are the standard to which all other custom pistols are compared. The Tactical Supergrade combines breathtaking aesthetics and functionality within a single pistol, handcrafted from carbon steel or stainless steel for use as the ultimate defensive handgun. The finest full-size defensive pistol in today's market.

• ACP Series - Accessible Excellence Hand built for the new generation of American shooters, the ACP features all of the precision, craftsmanship and quality associated with a Wilson Combat custom handgun at a lower, package price. Built with our highest quality parts in the same time-tested way as our other custom 1911 handguns, with reduced custom options that streamline production.

• Materials and Construction - Wilson Combat 1911 pistols feature forged carbon steel or stainless steel construction with precision CNC machining. Our stainless steel 1911 models offer superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the legendary accuracy and reliability Wilson Combat is known for. All models include hand-fitted match-grade barrels and bushings for exceptional accuracy.

• Bullet Proof Components - Every Wilson Combat 1911 includes our 100% machined Bullet Proof parts throughout. These fully-machined components are designed and manufactured to exceed the demands of professional use, ensuring reliability under the most demanding conditions.

• Customization Options - Wilson Combat has an extensive list of options and customizations that can be applied to any model to create a truly one-of-a-kind 1911 for you. From Armor-Tuff protective finishes to specialized sighting systems, trigger options, and grip configurations, we can build your dream 1911 to exact specifications.

• Frame Size and Intended - Use Choose Full-Size (5" barrel) for maximum accuracy and sight radius, ideal for competition, duty, or range use. Commander models (4.25" barrel) offer a balance between accuracy and concealability. Compact models (4" barrel) provide optimal concealment with reduced weight and length. Consider how you plan to carry and use your 1911 to select the appropriate frame size.

• Caliber Selection for Your Needs - .45 ACP delivers traditional 1911 power with proven stopping ability but limited capacity. 9mm offers higher round count, reduced recoil, and lower ammunition costs while maintaining excellent performance. 10mm provides maximum power for hunting or situations requiring deep penetration. Consider ammunition availability, training frequency, and intended application when selecting caliber.

• Trigger System and Ergonomics - Wilson Combat 1911 pistols feature crisp single-action triggers with clean breaks. Consider ambidextrous safety options if you're left-handed or train others. Grip texture and checkering affect control and comfort - from smooth grips for concealed carry to aggressive textures for duty use. Magazine well options improve reload speed for competition and tactical applications.

• Finish and Maintenance Requirements - Carbon steel offers traditional aesthetics but requires more maintenance to prevent corrosion. Stainless steel 1911 models provide superior corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance requirements. Armor-Tuff protective finishes offer enhanced durability and tactical appearance. Consider your environment, usage frequency, and maintenance preferences when selecting finish options.

• Budget and Feature Priorities - ACP models provide Wilson Combat quality at accessible pricing with essential features. CQB series offers balanced performance and customization options. CQB Elite adds professional enhancements for serious users. Supergrade models represent the pinnacle of custom 1911 craftsmanship. Determine which features matter most for your intended use and budget accordingly.
