  • Compact

    The CQB Compact Pistol has all the features of a full-size CQB but is reduced in size for carry purposes or for anyone who needs a smaller pistol.

Like all Wilson Combat® firearms, we custom build the CQB Compact to meet your exact specifications; every part is hand-fit for reliability, performance, and accuracy.
