Henry Rifle Forums

I had been looking around and chewing on various different 1911s and kept coming back to the X-TAC. I even looked at various manufactures with different aesthetics but Wilson Combat works best for me for a number of diffrent reasons. The problem was I already had a EDC X9L which is a whole lot like the XTAC especially when the X-TAC is in Black. Anyhow then I came across this one. Something a little different but I like it. Pictures from the sellers website and I hope to have it by the end of this week.

I've been looking at 1911s as well. That looks like a very nice one!

Thank you sir.

Have you checked out any of the various forums to kind of familiarize yourself with your various options?

A few others to include a Wilson Combat EDC X9L which is technically not a 1911.

I'm familiar. I used to have a Sig Sauer, but parted with it and wish I hadn't.
As a replacement I'm considering a very basic no frills Rock Island GI Full Size.

There isnt anything not to like about Wilson 1911's. But they are WAY out of my price range for sure. Beautiful guns.

(mine too but wasn't going to say so out loud)

45APC or 9MM ..

I will never shoot competition, so, for a point and shoot SD weapon, I will keep it affordable yet reliable. I have that covered.
Beautiful pistols though. Wish I could afford to own a few beauties, just because....

38 Super?

Cool, just thought I would ask. I'm certainly no expert but always willing to help if I can.

9mm as there are days I can't even rack the slide on a 45. Arthritis pretty much takes care of that.

I will never shoot competition either, but I do enjoy a few range toys that will put a smile on my face.

For those that might find this of some interest Wilson Combat just released their latest pistol line or American Combat Pistol. Still more than what you could get a 1911 for elsewhere but significantly less than their other 1911s.
