After having to sell off most of my old collection I found a used Wilson Combat for under 1500 which appears to have a pretty low round count. Feels good to have one back and I do truly appreciate the differences these have vs more traditional 1911s like the slide stop and their finish which may not be the most impressive looking but functionally has been one of the best finishes I’ve had on a gun. This one’s a Bull Barrel and what I think they call the shock buffer on it? Never had a 1911 that wasn’t the normal bushing but feels good to have one back :) The bobtail is one of my favorite 1911 features that seems rare to find these days. Pretty sure by the bag and grip emblem it’s a bit older than my previous 1911 but I’ve heard some owners debate that some of the older offerings were better than modern ones but likely just the folk that say things were better back in my day lol
