Wilson Combat

[Fred_G]

Heading off to a tour of the Wilson Combat facilities, with much 1911 shooting to follow. Looking more into Les Baer or Ed Brown, but will be nice to fondle some high dollar guns.

I have read owner reports of poor service after the sale of Les Baer. I do not own any 1911 pistol.

I have been there but there wasn't much to tour. Met some really fine folks and bought some Wilson items.
Pack your lunch because you will think your lost before you get there. It's a nice country ride to the place.
Looking forward to hearing back from your trip.
I love my Wilson's. Nothing like them.

Depending on how soon you want to purchase you may want to look at Luke volkmann, he's a former brown Smith running a one man shop. If there's an issue, you don't get any of that "let me go get somebody to help you crap" he just fixes it. Also minimal if any issues that I've seen reported, and no issues with mine.

If you get a deal on some 1911 magazines, buy a few and let me know. Take pics!

Wilson is a "Tier 1" manufacturer.

I dealt with them several years ago when I bought my CQB. Of course my salesman was very cool, but fortunately I have no idea about their services after the sale. Ive never had to contact them about the gun since I got it. It has never hiccupped, and I used to shoot the hell out of it.

I am here. GPS got a little loopy, but made it. Met most of the folks, good peeps, we are going to have fun this weekend.

I do have to say, the Express Inn in Eureka Springs, for the $, is a damn fine motel.

So who needs service? I had a front sight on my used Premier II that shot a little loose but still held on by an internal roll pin. I called to ask about how they set that roll pin in place and the lady at Baer offered to fix the loose front sight if I sent it in because it had to be drilled out to remove and it was tricky. Needed the pistol for a weekend match so I just wicked a little Loctite into place and all is good.

I didn't own any 1911 pistols at one time either…until I got one and discovered their charms. Now they are all I want to shoot, though in honesty, I can't see spending $3K on something that I intend to shoot the crap out of while inflicting considerable holster wear. YMMV.
