Wilson Combat has introduced the American Combat Pistol (ACP) series. Hand built in Berryville, Ark., the ACP features all of the precision, craftsmanship and quality associated with a Wilson Combat custom handgun at a lower, package price.



Built in the same time-tested manner as Wilson Combat’s other custom 1911 handguns, the ACP comes with reduced customer selected options that streamlines production and enables a lower end user price. 

Available in .45 ACP and 9 mm Luger chamberings, the ACP features Wilson Combat’s latest generation forged slide, frame and barrels that are hand fitted by skilled pistolsmiths with 100-percent machined bullet proof parts, and comes with a 100-percent customer satisfaction guarantee for the lifetime of the product.

  

To set it apart from other 1911s, the ACP also introduces the new unique “Eagle Claw” grip and slide surface. The Eagle Claw pattern offers a non-abrasive, tactile grip under adverse conditions but is still easy on a user’s hands and clothing during extended range trips and everyday carry. Available in full-size 5”, 4.25” Commander or 4” Compact sizes in Armor Tuff finished carbon steel with limited customer selected options available.

Customer options are lmited to finish, sight choice and grip choice (black or black/gray only).
