Great, can’t wait to see the photos you post when it arrives. Light your pipe with a good bowl of tobacco and relax until it arrives.

 

I will, I have taken to Petersons conisouir blend and like it in the Dunhill. Loading a pipeful now

 

Congrats! We want to see pictures when it arrives and read about how it performs at the range. You should have enough time to break it in by the NE Ohio Bash.

 

Very nice

 

I plan on shooting it in Ohio for sure and hope my Super is done as well. NHC is serrating the rear of the slide and chamfering the slide. A bit of smoothing the sharp edges. Finishing touches on it 👌 I just couldn't leave well enough alone. Ha ha. Then I am done for a long while!

 

Looking forward to seeing pics and a range report of the new WC! Congrats

 

Sounds exciting and sure a piece worth looking forward to be getting. Good luck with it!!

 

congratulations! i am glad to hear that you are getting your dream 1911. do you remember 'the bell' on broadway? i used to get 'navy twist' from them. that was a looong time ago. last i looked it was still a smoke shop, but whacky bakky now.

 

I went to the Bell quite often, great cigar selection and I found my pipe blend there as well. Nothing like a good Macanudo and a day on the river, rod in hand.

I put 120 round I got from APG at the Bash thru it in May, the flourish under the trigger guard with the Ryan Wilson High Cut FS didn't play well with my middle finger shooting hand so I left it with Wilson when I came home and it is dehorned in that spot and rebead blasted. It will be spectacular I know. Wilson's CS is fantastic. This is a culmination of everything I ever wanted in a 1911 45acp. George at Michigan Gunslingers was great to work with and I can't recommend all of them enough. This one is so smooth to shoot and the trigger is excellent 👌 the flat wire RS helps with its smoothness.

 

Here it is. This one started life as a CQB. It has all of the Elite upgrades fs slide top serrations etc and is matte SS.
Domed Gold bead fs, wide black u notch ledge rs. Beautiful serrated top of slide. Lightening and ball cuts to nose of slide which come close to lining up with the dust cover. Heavy machine chamfer to bottom of slide, bare slide WC Logo rear of left side behind the serrations. Flat wire FL guide rod, shortened and flattened SS pin and beveled frame, solid medium trigger 3.5 lbs. It's close. Ryan Wilson High cut fs which Wilson smoothed out for me. 25lpi front and back checkering, flawless. Single safety fit very well, no mushiness or movement when off. Very positive audible and tactile feel. No side movement in trigger, breaks very cleanly. Mag release works well, could be a touch smoother. I found one tiny tiny line from the checkering at the bottom of the back strap that is almost imperceptibly longer than the others. Lol. I found it with a magnifying 🔎 Charlie gave me.

Wilson did a great job with this one. I am sooooooooo pleased with it

A big Thank You to George MI Gunslingers for this dream pistol

 

WILSON COMBAT in Edwardian Script on the right side of the dust cover

 

Looks like a winner to me! Congrats, now shoot the snot out of it.

 

Oh yeah headed over to my buddy's house this weekend to do just that. I must have shot 155 rounds thru it at the Bash in May cause I only have 45 of them left out of 200 I got from APG. I will have my own ammo here in the next 3 weeks. Just had the floor laid in the loading hobby room and have a work bench found by flechero on the way. It's all coming together, finally

 

Congrats on your dream gun! now to shoot the snot out of it, and work it. The mag release will get smoother with use very quickly.

 

Thanks buddy yes just a little shooting and it will smooth out even more. This one needs a wrench to turn. I am really pleased with it and Wilson CS is fantastic as always. ETM 8 rounders are on sale so I grabbed 3 more and 4 mags for my EDC X9 So I have plenty for ytown and APGs drills. LOL

 

This one actually had Presetation Grade Desert Ironwood Burl w/Sterling Silver Medalions gripes mounted when I got it and my initial shooting was with them. I put them away for B B Ques etc. Lol

I like the Black Wilson's for range, etc and plan on a set from WoodCaliber in the near future .

 

really like those carry cutz. hows about a pic of the top, please. very nice overall, well balanced visually.

 

That is a beautiful pistol, as others have suggested shoot it and then shoot it some more.

 

Gorgeous! Congrats

 

Wilson's pistols are very pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for. My 25 year old CQB has been shot a ton and is still as tight and accurate as the day it arrived. It's starting to show a little honest wear but still looks pretty damn good.

Good luck. I hope you enjoy your CQB as much as I do mine.

 

I love honest wear, yours is a beauty. I look forward to wearing this on in. Going over to twins house tomorrow and shoot

 

Here is my new one all dressed up

 

This is only the 2nd single stack I have been able to use the thumb safety without substantially shifting my grip. The fluted barrel hood is growing on me and does a great job of holding lube in this area. I have been using my little magnifying lens and the checkering/serration work is flawless, all the flats are flat, both sides mirror each other.

The wide U notch gives the front gold bead enough room on both sides for precision aiming. The rear of slide serrations are even, level and consistent top to bottom. The top of slide serrations are even, well formed and follow the theme at each end as done on FS and Mainspring housing/Magwell. One piece magwell is very well blended with the frame both inside and at the butt of the frame. The matte bead blasted finish is even throughout and rivals anything I have seen from other top tier houses

This CQB is worth every penny I spent!

 

wow! that is a nice set of grips!

 

Congrats on your new pistol. Other than the finish, looks like mine…

 

That's a beautiful pistol. I am considering a compact next, to go with my little family. Lol

 

ahh, the three wilsons? goldilocks?

 

Plantar5 - that looks like Baron bluing....
