Today I received my first Wilson Combat pistol in the form of a 5" SS CQB in 38super thanks to Greg at Tractus Specialty Arms.

First impressions are very positive. If this guns fit, finish and attention to detail is typical
Of the Current product line then I may have misjudged them. I stand very impressed indeed.
The guns classic appearance including the minimal slide markings and lack of FSC is very appealing.
If the guns performance matches it's build quality WC will have another fan.

I am no stranger to the 1911 Semi Custom world in that I have been a Les Baer fan for years and have been more than satisfied with there Value and performance. I can't remember ever having a FTF's or FTE even with the crappy springs he puts in the Baer mags.
The only issue I have had with them is LB's third rate Bluing and his
Limited options offered. I find it puzzling that you can get more options from production pistol mfg's like SAC and Dan Wesson than you can from Les Baer.

As I handle this WC the build philosophy differences leap out at you.
The attention to detail in the little things are eye catching. From the way that It is packaged to the quality and shape of the magwell, grip safety, thumb safety and slide stop, and the accuracy and consistency of the dehorning scream quality.

The more I handle this CQB, the more excited I get about taking it to the range and putting it through its paces.
