New line from Wilson: https://www.wilsoncombat.com/experior-full-size/

SHAMELESSLY stole the exact Frag pattern that GI designed with permission from Ned.

Classy move.

Meh.........nothing new here that someone else hasn’t already done better.

Unfortunately they wont make it across the CA border

The 9mms have an internal extractor, I wonder if the EDC X9s will soon have internal extractors?

 

[DPVY]

I like the double stack. It shows even more how they were not creative enough to come up with a checkering pattern on their own.

Still can’t seem to get ball cuts done correctly

When the masses buy just because it has a logo, lines don't matter.

Well, at least they didn't call it the Hellcat.

According to the FDA, these guns also help to reduce the amount of ammonia gas released from beef cattle waste:

Man, those guys at Wilson think of everything!

Looks like ^^ 2 guys won't be ordering these soon.

I don't mind the dbl stack commander. I don't care if they "stole" great ideas/design cues from other quality mfgs. Kudos to the originators for sure.

That isn't a cue. That is blatantly ripping something off.

I won't be ordering a Wilson because I know how the sausage is actually made, not because they stole this checkering from Ned and GI.

How is the sausage actually made? We can take it to PM if you like, but I'd honestly like to know and think we'd all benefit.

I've spent my dollars on Wilson -- what do I actually have? I've bought other high-end 1911s and I'll be buying more, am wide open for meaningful guidance on where to spend it (several makers interest me), and clear, demonstrable facts help in the decision-making.

There's been something of a whisper campaign about Wilson over the last couple years -- lots of unverified (or unverifiable) claims and echo-chamber accusations about glorified production guns, drop-in parts, etc., that generally sound more like tribalism and snark than anything actually informed or informative.

But you're respected and in a position to know, so share -- how is the sausage actually made and why does it put you off?

Sand relief cuts on the rails for those operators, operating in sandy operational operations.

 

[605atthe wheels]

Did Ned design these?

Don't hold your breath.

If I wanted to post that publicly, I would have already done it.

Want to let the rest of us in on the PM then? I'm certainly curious.
