Wilson Combat Arms are well known for their high-quality 1911 pistols and AR-15 rifles. Wilson Combat got their start in 1977, when production of 1911 pistols was done by a handful of large companies who didn't cater to the needs of the more advanced shooters. Bill Wilson's legendary name is now spread across a wide range of firearms. Unlike many other custom gun shops, Wilson Combat branched out into the entire 1911 market, offering the high-quality Wilson Combat magazines that non-Wilson Combat owners choose over surplus magazines.

Wilson Combat offers several variants to the AR-15 rifles: the UT-15 tactical rifle, M5-15 tactical rifle, and the Super Sniper rifle. Several innovations can be noticed when handling any of these models, including the CNC machined upper and lower receivers. They are assembled by master gunsmiths to ensure the rifle will have exceptional groups at 100 yards or more. Unlike many other AR15 rifle producers, Wilson Combat hand selects all the parts that are assembled for remarkable accuracy and reliability for the end user. In my experience with the UT-15, this rifle consistently held less than one inch groups at well over one hundred yards.

Wilson Combat Arms provides their users with over a century of combined staff experience, making Wilson Combat 1911 pistols some of the most specialized 1911 pistols on the market. It's clear when you enter any competition shooting event that Wilson Combat has its loyal supporters; they show fanatical devotion to the Wilson Combat product lines. These product lines are slowly making their way to the mainstream, one shooter at a time. The staff all carry some serious résumés. They are the kind of firearms workers with the can-do attitude that made America great and are often hard to find in modern times.

Wilson Combat has been a key innovator in the industry and helped make a way for companies like Les Baer to make their living exclusively with high-end precision 1911 pistols. Wilson Combat continues to pave the way for other companies in this narrow field. They have also become famous for their Armor-Tuff firearm finishing, which is a specially-marketed finish produced specifically for Wilson Combat by the leader in aftermarket firearms finishing. This finishing process is made unique for Wilson Combat in colors unavailable to regular customers of this leading firearms coating company.

The Wilson Combat name is well-known and keeps growing. No matter what type of 1911 pistol you own, chances are there is an Wilson Combat part to improve it and add precision. Bill Wilson has proven that one man and his dreams can make waves in an industry that at one time favored volume over quality. I would highly recommend any Wilson Combat firearm, due to their hand-inspected precision making them out-of-the-box accurate, unlike the vast majority of bulk production firearms.
