When I found out that Wilson Combat was planning to release a double stack gun, my first thought was inevitably something along the lines of a 2011. And they’re nice, but I don’t really need one of those. It’s hard enough keeping enough mags for everything when each and every one doesn’t cost a fortune. But I should’ve known that Bill Wilson and the crew at … Read More →

New Product: Wilson Combat Vickers Elite Battlesight for H&K Pistols
This will be short and sweet. We’ve already done a review on the Vickers Elite Battlesights here from back in the day when they were first released for Glock pistols. Now there are front/rears available that are compatible with Heckler and Koch VP9, P30SK, P30L, P30, HK45, HK45C, and HK45C Tactical models. Although I liked the sight picture that the Heinie sights I had on my … Read More →
NRA Annual Meetings – Louisville, 2016
I’ve been to quite a few SHOT shows but until this year I had never been to an NRA annual meeting or to Louisville—which truly is the land of bourbon and honey. I’m not sure that Louisville was ready for the massive surge of people that hit the city’s streets this weekend (traffic was a total nightmare for many who drove around), but it was a … Read More →
Review: Wilson Combat Remanufactured Ammo
Wilson Combat’s ammunition is top-shelf in every sense of the phrase (except the one that involves a certain type of magazine). OAL is always dead on from round to round, consistency has always been ridiculously good out of every gun I own, and accuracy is as good as a given bullet/barrel combo will allow it to be. But you don’t just waste top-shelf things. And so … Read More →
SHOT Show Recap 2015
There really isn’t any other show out there like SHOT. And I love attending whether it’s as an exhibitor or media (I’ve had the opportunity to do both in the past). 2015 was no exception. But having said that, this wasn’t a groundbreaking year for the firearms industry. Although there were a lot of very cool things, this was a year of little tweaks and … Read More →
Bro, Do You Even AR? Functional Mods that Won’t Break the Bank
It’s about that time of year now when you spent all of your money on other peoples’ presents but you might get some money for Christmas and spending your new money on cool things is very much preferable to paying off the credit card charges you made for the presents you bought on Black Friday. So in honor of procrastinating paying off your credit card and … Read More →
Ammo Review: Wilson Combat 95 grain Barnes TAC-XP 9mm
The ability to use lighter or heavier projectiles for different applications in a caliber has led to heavy-and-slow versus light-and-fast debates ad nauseum ever since people realized that they had options. Cavemen probably thought about it too, but then they were just like, “Nah, hitting target more important.” Barnes’ 95 grain TAC-XP bullet won’t be an exception to that rule. But it could well make some people rethink … Read More →
Product Review: Wilson Combat Vickers Elite Battlesight for Glock Pistols
When Larry Vickers puts his name on something, it’s probably worth taking a look at it, but when Larry Vickers puts his name on something that Bill Wilson’s name is already on, it should go straight to your short list. I’ve heard nothing but good reviews from various sources on these sights so far, but I finally had the chance to try them out for myself this … Read More →
Wilson Combat Ultralight Carry: The First Year
I tend to shoot .45 more than anything else. Call it a cross between a first love and an ego trip from a guy named Colt. Since I became the owner of my beautiful Ultralight Carry .38 Super/9mm Luger combo just over a year ago, I have put about 2,000 rounds downrange through it, with a bit more than half of that being 9mm. It … Read More →
New Release/Product Review: Wilson Combat ETM HD/+P Magazine
Let’s face it: Wilson Combat makes some pretty okay stuff. Their magazines are the okay stuff of legend. Funny, right? Wilson Combat has been known for the best 1911 magazines since the first Wilson-Rogers #47 samples made it to market. Its magazines have been issued with the Springfield Professional Model, the Colt USMC CQBP, and so many other .45’s that it’s just about impossible to keep track of … Read More →
