There are many good quality compact .45 ACP 1911s available.
Can anyone give me *SPECIFICS*—not generalities—on why this one is allegedly so much better?
It's exactly the type of platform I'm looking for...but $2,700? !WoW!

Ed C. · Answer

Because it is a 'Wilson Combat'

Yup, Wilson Combat, Dan Wesson, Certain Colts all command premium prices.

Hi Jon and welcome. Wilson Combat supposedly hand selects and fits all parts with forged and not MIM parts. In my mind, you are buying a work of art rather than a painting. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
