winki 0 Posted September 1, 2011 Does anyone have any experience ordering from wilson combat? Is it slightly cheaper to go through a dealer? I'm looking at 2 different models and trying to decide on sights as well. This is my first high end firearm (I love a nice 1911). I would love to hear from any wilson owners out there.

JTQ911 2 Posted September 1, 2011 I'd join the 1911forum.com if you haven't already and speak to "hammond". he's a preferred dealer I believe and has an excellent reputation. He posts the most in the ed brown forum. You can also contact george at http://www.migunslingers.com/ You can save off of msrp and get some of the best customer service in the business.

lunker 274 Posted September 1, 2011 There is a dealer there called Crazy John that has great prices on Les Baers. http://www.cj1911heaven.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted September 1, 2011 If you want to see / hold / fondle a Wilson, Classic Pistol in Southampton, PA is a Wilson dealer. His prices on other firearms are pretty decent - don't know if there is much room to move on a Wilson. I'd also call first to see what he has in stock, as this isn't like stocking S&W's or Sigs - much lower production volume and high cost means tying-up inventory dollars on a slow turn item. I would also urge you to look at Baer, but if your heart is set on Wilson, at least hold one before you buy one. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adios, Pizza Bob I was at target world in PA last month and they had a couple of used Wilson's I took a look at. I'll think about the Baer, but to be honest with you I don't know if the shootability and accuracy of the Baer/Wilson is that much different. I seriously doubt I would notice an objective difference in performance between these high end guns. I prefer the Wilson for aesthetic reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
