We all want to avoid life and death encounters – but if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in one – you don’t want to have to worry about performance of your firearm. When nothing less than 100% functional reliability, fast handling, rapid shot-to-shot recovery and accuracy is acceptable, you want to have a Wilson Combat® Tactical Elite on your side. Possibly the easiest .45ACP pistol to shoot well in today’s market, it is the highest performance self defense pistol available.

 

With all the combat proven features of a typical CQB, the Tactical Elite provides the additional advantage of a fully supported hand-fit, heavy flanged cone match grade barrel. The extra weight of the heavier-than-standard barrel gives the shooter softer recoil and faster recovery time between shots. The Tactical Elite also utilizes a unique take-down procedure that allows you to remove the guide rod, plug, and recoil spring in one captive unit.

 

This pistol is designed with the defensive shooter in mind; no expense has been spared to deliver a masterfully engineered weapon with the utmost in reliability, accuracy, and ease of use under difficult conditions.

 

The Wilson Combat® ambidextrous thumb safety is standard, also an extended ejector, our Combat Tactical tritium insert sighting system, skeletonized ultra light hammer, and ultra light trigger, plus much more. Because the Tactical Elite’s primary purpose - the saving of a life – is so critical, details such as the fit of parts, polishing and throating of the barrel, beveling the magazine well, lowering and flaring the ejection port, and tuning of the extractor are critical and receive the attention necessary to assure complete performance.

 

Control for recovery shots is enhanced with a high-cut front strap, and 30 lpi checkering on both the front strap and flat mainspring housing, and our High-Ride Beavertail grip safety.

 

The Tactical Elite is completely dehorned and finished with the toughest coating available – Wilson Combat’s® Armor-Tuff®, in your choice of a single or contrasting colors for the slide and frame.
