I recently bought a Colt Combat Commander (XSE) and had $500.00 worth of custom work done to it. It needs more work to get it where I want it, and I told some of you that next time I will buy a Wilson instead. Well today I went to try out my customized Colt and saw a used Colt Combat Commander (XE) on consignment. It was identical to my Commander except it was an MK IV Series 80 (XE), and it had some extensive custom Work performed on it by Wilson! and the Price was $799.00. I think I got a good deal.
Here is a laundry list of it's features...
1. Slide to frame fit was tightened. There is no play at all, but it has a smooth action.
2. The ejection port was lowered and flared.
3. The slide top was flattened, and it looks good!
4. Wilson nite sights installed.
5. Match grade Wilson barrel and bushing installed. This gun is accurate!
6. Wilson grip safety.
7. Wilson Ambidextrous thumb safety.
8. Wilson bullet proof slide stop.
9. Over size magazine release.
10. 30 LPI on the front strap and main housing spring.
11. Mag well flared
12. No MIM parts. It's all steel.
13. A different hammer.
14. A different trigger with 3 holes in it.
15. Obvious trigger job (I never knew a trigger could be so smooth
![]()
16. Everything on the inside has been polished, from the feed ramp to the trigger.
17. The gun has Wilson wooden grips with the Wilson logo.
18. No sharp edges (a carry bevel job).
19. The gun is also etched "Wilson Combat" on the frame.
20. It came with 2 8rd Wilson mags (47D).
21. Wilson tote bag.
22. Stainless steel was polished and or sand blasted (Weapon looks like new).
The only thing I don't like is the shok-buffer, and I can remove that. This Colt/Wilson puts my first Colt Commander to shame, and I have $1,400.00 tied up in my first one. Now I understand much better what all the Wilson talk is about.
