Background
Wilson Combat was founded by Bill Wilson in 1977, growing from a watch-and-jewelry repair shop into one of the most respected custom 1911 makers in the United States. The eXperior line represents the company's modern take on the 1911 platform, blending traditional single-action lockwork with a contemporary optics-ready, high-capacity chassis.
