Wilson Combat is a custom pistol manufacturer located in Berryville, Arkansas, that specializes in customizing and manufacturing M1911A1s. [1] First started under the name "Wilson's Gun Shop" in 1977, Bill Wilson started his new gunsmith business in the back of the family jewelry store, "Wilson's Jewelry", on the corner of Berryville's public square. In 2000, the company bought "Scattergun Technologies", and markets combat shotguns under the name "Wilson Combat Scattergun Technologies". [2]
Some of the first firearms Wilson modified for customers were the Colt 1911-A1, Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver and Ruger Single Action Revolvers. Models like the PPC .38 Special and the .44 Magnum Hunter made Wilson's reputation for producing quality firearms. [3] [4] [5] Wilson originally customized pistols with aftermarket parts from gunsmiths such as Armand Swensen, and by 1983, had begun making his own parts. [6] By 1996, Wilson was building his own M1911 pistols completely in-house. [6] Wilson's handguns have a quality guarantee of 1 in (25 mm) groups at 25 yd (23 m). [7] [8]
Wilson Combat has developed custom pistols with professional competitive shooters, including IDPA co-founder Ken Hackathorn [9] and retired US Army 1st SFOD-Delta combat veteran Larry Vickers. [10]
They also have a partnership with Delta Force member Paul R. Howe. One of the signature Paul Howe models is the Wilson Combat Paul Howe G19. [11]
Handguns from Wilson are used by special forces, including Delta Force [12] and Navy SEALs. [13]
When it comes to a sterling reputation for quality, few in the firearms community have earned the standing of Wilson Combat.
Grassi found the Wilson UT-15 Urban Tactical Rifle/Carbine to be accurate and reliable.
nd did indeed break 2.5" at 50 yards
As expected, the sights were dead-on, and the crisp, light trigger pull made breaking accurate shots easy.
Among the favorites are Colt National Match, Wilson Combat, and Les Baer
