Get this exclusive Wilson Combat 45th Anniversary Supergrade pistol from BattleHawk Armory!
Celebrate Wilson Combat's 45th Anniversary of expert gunsmithing with BattleHawk Armory! We're taking you on a nostalgic journey back to the late 1970s and early 1980s when the custom 1911 handguns were revolutionizing the world of practical pistol shooting. Wilson Combat, a name synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship, emerged as a trailblazer by prioritizing top-notch quality, fair pricing, and prompt delivery—an ethos that continues to guide us today.
These 45th Anniversary 1911 handguns are a limited and exquisite tribute to this era. Wilson resurrected the classic custom features that made them famous: an upswept retro grip safety, a traditional Bo-Mar adjustable rear sight paired with a staked front sight, a retro Commander-style hammer, Swenson-style ambidextrous thumb safety, and coarse serrations on the slide top that evoke the finest bespoke firearms of that time.
We proudly present two distinct models. The first is the Deluxe edition, a rare find with only 45 serialized pieces available. Each Deluxe model boasts the artistry of Wayne D'Angelo, who hand-engraves each one in a timeless scroll pattern. These models also feature hand-fitted Bar-Sto National Match barrels, reminiscent of our early classics. Following the engraving process, the slides are meticulously finished with a hand-polished deluxe bluing, while the frames and small parts receive a protective and eye-catching matte silver hard chrome finish. This iconic two-tone combination was a hallmark of our premium firearms in the early days of combat shooting, adding to their desirability.
The 45th Anniversary editions effortlessly blend timeless style, limited production, and unparalleled quality. They are destined to become instant collectibles, cherished for generations to come. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history from BattleHawk Armory and Wilson Combat.
