Sent this in on 11/21…returned on 12/21…Wilson Combat is incredible. I worked with Scott and he was great.
Before…
After…
Work performed…
Recessed crown
Mag-well
Recessed slide stop
The frame was refinished in new grey paint…
What is the recessed slide stop for?
Great looking pistol, by the way. I really like it. Are the Wilson Combat grips good?
I very much like the WC grips, but I had the slide stop recessed because I might go with a set of Crimson Trace grips and the stock slide stop can interfere with the laser.
Man that darker gray AT looks much better. Nice mods
-aids in use of crimson trace
-keeps LH shooter from depressing protruding pin with support hand
-makes it a bit easier to remove SS
-looks cool
-?
Great Work!! I agree with the AT gray color applied…looks great.
Nice! I’ve been wanting to send in my WC for some fresh armor tuff for a few years now.
Those all seem like pretty good reasons to me. 
Looks great!
Looks great! WC does some good work. I like the darker grey AT as well. One of the surprisingly (to me) nicest looking guns I’ve ever seen was a custom BHP done entirely in the early grey AT. The gun just looked like… business.
I have a Wilson Protector and the CT does not hit the slide stop but I do like the look of yours.
Nice Blaster! Happy New Year!
You commented that you liked the Wilson grips and grips are a really subjective thing, but how are they compared to the standard double diamond (or standard wood grips in general)?
I have been real close to buying a set, but can’t justify the expense over my current G10 grips (hoping your opinion will push me over the edge).
I’m looking for a little more traction at speed while shooting fast (think a Bill drill or El Pres).
By the way, very nice Wilson, well thought out mods.
Forgive me for offering my 2 cents. The Wilson starburst grips are comfortable, but too fat and not aggressive enough for my taste. The VZ double diamond grips offer a lot more traction without being too aggresive and are shaped better. Plus the VZ grips are cheaper.
Too bad Wilson won’t work on my Colt…
That pretty well sums it up, I don’t like my grips too aggressive, or checkering for that matter.
Big Buck, thanks for the reply. Dave I appreciate your 2 cents.
I think I’m looking for something a little more aggressive.
Might try VZ Double Diamonds or Aliens.
Back on topic, beautiful Wilson!
That is a magnificent 1911, the new gray is awesome! Wilson builds some fine 1911’s.
Beautiful pistol, Im warming up to WC for sure
Dude, that’s slick!
