Wilson Combat is known for building top of the line 1911 pistols. Their 1911’s are designed with care and devotion and it shines through in the final product. Wilson Combat recently released the X-Tac Supergrade 1911 series. The Supergrade series are by built by Wilson Combat pistolsmiths with decades of experience. Time, attention to detail, and nuance are built into every single Supergrade 1911. The X-Tac Supergrade 1911 series offers the best build quality and functionality that Wilson Combat has to offer.

The X-Tac Supergrade comes in full-size, professional, commander, and compact. The price for the X-Tac Supergrade starts at $4,795 for .45 ACP and $4,905 for 9mm and .38 Super.

Here is the description of X-Tac Supergrade 1911 from Wilson Combat website.

These models are where our most experienced veteran pistolsmiths apply their decades of experience building one custom gun at a time. Always limited in number, only a few of these pistols are hand-built each month, making every Supergrade an heirloom-worthy collector’s piece.

The enhanced, bi-directional, X-TAC frontstrap and slide treatment of the X-TAC Supergrade models offer enhanced grip traction in severe and hard-use environments. Scientifically designed to work with dry or wet hands, with or without tactical gloves, the X-TAC pattern redefines secure shooting comfort and gun-handling without the coarse, often painful nature of other grip textures. In tandem with our G-10 X-TAC grips, the X-TAC tread pattern locks securely into the firing hand and will reduce muzzle flip without snagging on clothes or cover garments.

Available in Full-Size, Professional, Commander, and Compact versions, these new Supergrade models from Wilson Combat deliver best in class mechanical perfection, with the all-business performance enhancement of a grip pattern that is second to none.

It is obvious that Wilson Combat has put a lot of time, effort, and attention into this new 1911 series.
