Built on the 1911 platform and sized as a Compact, this X-TAC pairs a 4-inch slide with an Officer-length grip frame for a balanced carry configuration in .45 ACP. The action is single-action, semi-automatic, and the capacity is 7+1 with the included magazine.
The barrel is stainless steel with a bushingless, cone profile that locks up directly to the slide. The muzzle is flush-cut with a recessed crown. These features are combined for a clean fit and finish consistent with Wilson Combat build details.
Control and handling are enhanced by the proprietary X-TAC traction pattern on the slide, front strap, and mainspring housing. An undercut trigger guard and high-cut front strap promote a higher grip. The pistol includes an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety, a checkered magazine release, a lightweight three-hole serrated trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. The frame wears a matte gray finish within an overall matte two-tone presentation, and the slide flats include eagle logo markings at the rear. There is no accessory rail on the frame.
Sights are iron: a green fiber-optic front blade paired with a Wilson Combat U-notch rear secured with set screws and marked 'WILSON COMBAT' and 'PAT. PENDING.' Black/gray textured G10 grips with a radial pattern and WC medallions round out the package.
Provenance includes a Wilson Combat factory QC checklist dated 4-17-2013 and a Wilson Custom Gun test target dated 5-20-2013, along with the Wilson soft case and owner's manual.
