WILSON COMBAT CQB ELITE 45ACP 5″ 8+1 SS

Description

The Wilson Combat CQB Elite is built for shooters who want a full-house 1911 that can perform under hard use without sacrificing the refinement that makes the platform worthwhile. It is not a range curiosity or a safe queen — the CQB designation reflects a purpose-built approach to defensive and duty work, where reliability and accuracy have to coexist rather than compete.

The pistol ships with two magazines and carries a ninth round in the chamber, which for a single-stack .45 ACP represents the practical ceiling of the Government-frame format. That capacity comes without the grip width penalty associated with double-stack designs, so shooters with average or smaller hands retain a natural, consistent grip without requiring an extended reach to the trigger.

Wilson Combat fits the CQB Elite with their Battlesight rear paired with a fiber optic front. The Battlesight rear is cut low and snag-resistant, designed so the slide can be worked one-handed against a surface without the sight catching — a deliberate trade-off that prioritizes function over the tall target sights favored on competition guns. The fiber optic front pulls the eye to the sight picture quickly in varied lighting without requiring batteries or manual activation.

Safety is managed through a combined grip and thumb safety arrangement. The grip safety prevents the pistol from firing unless the shooter has a full, deliberate hold, while the thumb safety provides a positive mechanical block. Both must be properly defeated before the pistol will fire, which suits shooters who train on traditional 1911 manual-of-arms and want that system in a modern, professionally finished package.
