First 1,000 rounds with the Wilson Combat Protector Elite 1911 .45

[JSGlock34]

I've owned a fair number of entry level 1911s over the years. My first was an early Smith and Wesson 1911, followed by the Kimber TLE, and then a Springfield Loaded that saw some custom work. I always enjoyed these pistols, but was never completely satisfied with any of them. Still, I learned a great deal from these various 1911s, and had long thought about a custom build.

I've always had a weakness for the classic two-toned 1911s...because reasons. Wilson Combat's great reputation - along with my own positive experience with their custom work on my Beretta 92G Brigadier Tactical - made them my first choice. I started pricing out a basic CQB build, planning to add a magwell and a tritium front sight to mirror the sight picture of my Beretta.

11061

Then I stumbled across a Wilson Combat 1911 Protector Elite on sale. I hadn't seen this model on the Wilson Combat website or heard of it before - turns out it was a exclusive build for Sports South (http://www.wilsoncombat.com/sports-south-exclusives/). Two tone. Magwell. Tritium front sight. Almost exactly what I planned to order, with the exception of the easily changed G10 grips and full-length guide rod. But the sale price was several hundred dollars less than the custom CQB I had priced, yet included a number of subtle custom touches (serrated top and rear of slide) that were aesthetically pleasing, but I probably wouldn't have spent the money on. It didn't take long for me to reach for my credit card (and post some less used pistols for sale on the boards).

11062

The Protector Elite came in Wilson's standard case, along with a pair of Elite Tactical Magazines (shortly thereafter a Brownells sale prompted me to buy 10 additional ETMs), Wilson's guide to custom 1911s, a reduced power recoil spring for lighter loads, a cleaning cloth and bushing wrench, the custom build inspection checklist, and an impressive test target. I read the guide, which recommended not field stripping the pistol until after 500 rounds, so I applied some Slip 2000 Elite Weapons Lubricant to the barrel and slide rails, and headed to the range for the first of four range sessions. The pistol was not field stripped or re-lubed until the 640 round mark, at which time I cleaned the pistol, applied some Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube Grease, swapped the grips and installed a GI length guide rod.

I am pleased to report that the Wilson Combat passed the 1000 round mark today without a single malfunction. Most of the 1070 recorded rounds down the barrel so far were 230 grain Blazer Brass FMJ, but I also tested 100 rounds of Winchester 185 grain FMJ, 50 rounds of Winchester Ranger RA45T .45, and 25 rounds of Remington 230 grain Golden Saber JHP. The pistol also passed the 10-8 extractor test with no issues to report. The ETM magazines have proven reliable; on one occasion the based came off one when it hit the concrete during a speed reload, and on another the follower became stuck at the feed lips and needed to be coaxed back into the magazine body. However, I've had zero issues with slide lock back, which is something that had been problematic with the Wilson 47D magazines had owned previously.

The pistol has proven accurate and very controllable in a variety of drills. Today I spent nearly the entire range session shooting the LAPD SWAT standards and 'The Test'. Here's the target after four consecutive passing runs of 'The Test' (8 rounds, 10 yards, 10 seconds, from the draw) on a timed B8 bull.

I'm not going to bother showing pictures of the small groups this pistol is capable of, as I don't think my shooting really does this pistol justice. Punching out a 1" square at 7 yards is routine with this pistol. Instead, here's the test target that came with the gun. Just knowing it is capable of this level of accuracy motivates me to shrink my own groups further.

So far I've been using a Raven Concealment Systems Phantom holster that I've had for years. The Armor Tuff finish is holding up well and I've observed very little wear so far. My only complaint is that the Wilson is carving a new sight channel into the Phantom, and I occasionally have to remove threads of kydex from the front sight. I may find another OWB holster if this keeps up (and I already have a JM Custom IWB on order).

11063

I couldn't be more pleased to add this one to the safe, and it will be a pistol I pass onto my son. It's a keeper.

I buy my ETM's from https://gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php. Best prices I've found. The HD/+P "square spring" ETM's are the best 1911 mag on the market IMHO.

I've ordered from Greg Cote before, but the Brownells sale (still going) for $26.99/ea (http://www.brownells.com/magazines/handgun-magazines/magazines/1911-8rd-45acp-elite-tactical-magazines-prod24513.aspx) is the best price I've found. That said, I've been thinking of picking up a few HD/+Ps or perhaps some of the new Vickers magazines.

[YVK]

Love the two tone. Sweet gun.

[StraitR]

I really like the classic two-tone look. I had no idea they built special models for SS, which is crazy because I've scoured the WC website and their products online quite a bit.

No surprises on the functionality and accuracy. I've received similar service from mine. I need a two-tone.

Thanks for sharing, and enjoy that gorgeous pistol.

[Tango]

It is not a big sample size but I have 2 Vickers mags. About 250 rounds through each and they have been flawless. They are being run in a Series I Kimber that was a little fickle with other mags. Since their introduction, the gun has just run.

[Guinnessman]

This week was my first range session with Wilson ETM's in my CQB. They ran great, and I wish I could say the same about the 47D's that came with the gun. The problematic 47D showed problems early on (<500 rounds) with premature slide lock back.

[JAD]

I also made my first Wilson a two tone. My experience matches yours.

My problem with 47Ds was consistent failure to lock the slide back on empty magazines. Installing the Tripp Super 7 (http://www.brownells.com/magazines/handgun-magazines/magazine-parts/magazine-hardware/1911-super-7-magazine-upgrade-kit-prod55221.aspx) kit solved that problem, but reduces magazine capacity to 7 rounds. I understand you can also install the Wilson HD/+P flatwire spring kit (http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Flat-Wire-Spring_Follower-Kit-Wilson-ETM-8rd-45-ACP-Full-Size-Magazine/productinfo/500SFK-8HD/) into the 47D, and it will similarly reduce the magazine capacity, but likely results in a more reliable magazine. The 47Ds may have been the heat when they were introduced, but I think the ETM is a much superior design.

I'm not surprised the Vickers magazine runs so well; they're really a modified ETM HD/+P. I'm just waiting for a good Wilson Combat magazine sale before I grab some (Black Friday isn't that far off) - they're pricey!

[NETim]

I wish WC would have gone with a steel belted follower ala' Tripp. The ETM would have been perfect IMHO. But they promise to replace the guts should they ever fail. �� My two tone. Green/black carbon through and through.

That thing makes my pants tight.

[JSGlock34]

I think growing up reading 80s era gun magazines imprinted the classic two-tone on my mind. Then there were movie scenes like this (even if it is technically a 9mm)...

11072

All of the classic Pachmayr, Swenson, Nastoff, and Burton pistols in the Vickers Guide (http://www.vickersguide.com) didn't help.

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/554a80bee4b0b28e6f87f115/55e2552ce4b045a4102b1566/55e4fff7e4b01fe9a8a2fd15/1441071096095/DSC_3989-Edit.jpg?format=1000w

Nor did nyeti posting his MARS builds...

http://loungecdn.luckygunner.com/lounge/media/TwoTone.jpg

So it was just a matter of time before I had to have one. I purchased a Browning Hi-Power Practical (blued slide and hard chromed frame), but it didn't scratch the itch and I just never connected with that pistol. I suppose this is technically my second Wilson two-tone, as I had my Brigadier Tactical refinished in a subtle black/gray two-tone. The gray can be hard to notice depending on the lighting. Both are tack drivers.

There are tons of cool two tones in the Vickers Guide. The picture I linked is actually a Paul Liebenberg tribute to the Pachmayr Combat Special.

I missed the boat on release. I still poke around here and there looking for a used copy. Aside from the occasional crackhead trying to get a grand for their standard copy, my search has been futile.

Admittedly I passed on the initial release, but stumbled over a minty used copy on Ebay.

I wish WC would have gone with a steel belted follower ala' Tripp.
Interestingly, Wilson's 9mm ETM has a metal GI-like follower.

On the other hand, count up all the guns you own, or are on the shelves at the local gun store, that have a metal magazine follower. Not many I suspect. Nobody complains about the polymer follower in their Glock, SIG, Beretta, FN, HK, XD, M&P, CZ, etc.

Anybody know of any studies/reports on how well Stainless frames and Blued slides wear together? Just wondering....

I bet most old school 2 tone builds were nickel chrome finished frames.

[JSGlock34]

Since I've emphasized shooting an optics gun this year, my 1911 doesn't visit the range as often, but I finally hit the 2,000 round mark with my Wilson Combat Protector Elite today. No malfunctions to report with a variety of ammunition, including several different 230 grain FMJ loads (Blazer Brass, Geco, UMC Remington), 185 grain Winchester FMJ, 175 grain +P Winchester Ranger Frangible, and 230 grain Golden Saber JHP. This pistol also accompanied me to my first USPSA match in several years.

Here was the last seven yard group from today...

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x131/JSGlock34/IMG_3368_zpsfr7kjyhq.jpg

For preventative maintenance, I plan to swap the recoil spring for a Wilson flat wire kit. I've also acquired enough Wilson HD/+P kits to convert all of my standard ETM magazines, and I'll slowly switch them over.

I replaced the Raven Concealment Systems Phantom holster that I originally was using with this pistol. The front sight was consistently dragging on the kydex. I noticed that newer RCS Phantoms for the 1911 used a different mold with a more substantial sight channel, and acquiring one of these has solved the problem. I also purchased a JM Custom Kydex IWB#3, and have been very satisfied. The sweat guard on the JM is designed to lock the thumb safety in the on-position, a feature that I wish was incorporated into the RCS holsters.

This is a great pistol. I sold several other pistols to fund it, and I have no regrets whatsoever. I really need to shoot it more often.

I bought an RCS Phantom for my CQB, and for some reason it the gun doesnt stick to the kydex the way other guns stick to kydex when you holster them. In other words there is very little to no retention.

Does your WC do that by any chance?

[JSGlock34]

No, my RCS Phantom retains my 1911 well, with a positive 'click' when the pistol is inserted (much like my Phantoms for other models).

[Artemas2]

I have noticed a wide difference in Phantom retention. Some retain the gun so tightly that at times I CAN'T draw the gun, while other phantoms for the same gun will eject if I bend over to fast.

There are definitely variances in the RCS 1911 Phantoms. Here's the original mold with the narrow front sight channel I mentioned that kept dragging on the kydex...

Is it worth it emailing them about my issue, or will I be told "sorry one size fits all"?

That's a damn good lookin' 1911.

I'm a huge fan of the classic two tone and Wilsons in general.

Thankfully yours doesn't have the horrible blunderbuss lookin' flush cut, reverse crown that's so popular. Makes me wanna vomit every time I see one.

[Nephrology]

Gorgeous 1911. Maybe one of my favorite finish combinations. Love that you went with classic gold medallion wood stocks.

A pistol that nice truly deserves some good leather. Just sayin.

[JSGlock34]

I'm approaching 4,000 rounds through the Wilson Combat 1911. Unfortunately since the 2000 round mark there have been a few hiccups, but we appear back on track.

As I mentioned, at the 2000 round point I installed the flat wire recoil spring, as well as flat wire magazine springs. Not long after I began to have occasional malfunctions - these appeared to be 'nose dives'. Initially I thought the Shok-Buff included with the flat wire kit was reducing slide travel, so I tossed that thing in the trash, and at first I was encouraged that the problem was solved. However, the same malfunction manifested 200 rounds after. More recently I decided to go back to a conventional recoil spring set up and see if that would solve the problem. I installed a Wilson 17# CS spring (the flat wire kit was a 17# spring so I decided to stick with the same spring weight). I fired 300 rounds yesterday of 230 grain Golden Saber JHP, Remington 230 grain FMJ, and Freedom Munitions 230 grain FMJ - with no malfunctions to report. Perhaps for whatever reason my particular Wilson just doesn't like the flat wire recoil spring? In any case, back to conventional springs for now.

The Wilson remains highly accurate. I shot a 285 on the FBI Bullseye Course with it, and it has performed well in a variety of drills (The Test, LAPD SWAT modified qualification, FBI pistol qualification course, etc).

Lately my 1911 rides in a Milt Sparks VM-2. I found the weight of the 1911 wasn't a great match for a kydex summer special, and Gio recommended I try the VM-2. Fantastic holster.

[MSparks909]

I forgot which 1911 forum I read this on but I remember reading that the flat wire spring kits didn't meter identically to the standard coil recoil springs; ie they may both say they're 17# but the flat wire will measure more around 15-15.5#. Posters in that same thread said the 18.5# flatwire performed very similarly to the standard 17# coil spring. I run a 17# in my Hack Special .45 but when it comes time to replace it I may throw in the 18.5 flatwire and see how it shoots.

That's interesting. I checked the Wilson Combat website and didn't see a 18.5# flat wire. Were they using a Wilson spring or something else? Perhaps I should try a heavier weight...in any case, the conventional spring seems to have cured any ills.

[MSparks909]

Sorry meant to say the 20# flatwire. Was still waking up when I originally posted ;)

[Tango]

I had a similar experience with flat wire springs. Had a 1911 that was running fine and decided to swap out the standard springs and move to the flat wire setup. The gun started choking. Changed back to the original setup and it returned to normal.

[GJM]

Feedback I am getting is that the flat wire shines in 3.5-4 inch guns, where the conventional is ideal in five inch guns.

[45dotACP]

Huh...mine seems to have worked thus far in my 5" gun 17# flatwire and no issues thus far with full power 230 grain ammo. Lighter springs seem to show up issues with possibly marginal extractor function I've noted.

Can't believe I haven't updated this thread in years...

Though I've largely converted to the red dot over the past year, I've recently been carrying my 1911 again. Some of this is my desire to reduce my 9mm consumption, as I have a decent amount of .45 ammunition, and I tend to shoot less .45 during a range session anyway.

For whatever reason, I found that with the wood double diamond grips the gun moved around a bit more in my hands under recoil than I had remembered. In particular my support hand seemed to slip off more than I liked. So I swapped on a pair of black cherry G10 grips from Wilson Combat - and this immediately solved the problem. The gun is firmly locked in now. I'm not too crazy about the aesthetics though - I miss the classic double diamond appearance and the cherry coloring. I may try a pair of double diamond G10s.

My last drill today was 'The Test' - conducted from concealment (using a Milt Sparks VM2 IWB holster under a sweater). I was pretty pleased considering that I'm just not shooting as much.

.45 ACP 1911 must be the new P-F gun hotness. I am carrying mine in a Sparks HR-LTD (an out-of-production hipster cross between the VM-2 and the #1 Heritage, using the waterproof membrane from the #1 Heritage with the VM-2 distributed belt loops) as I also want to cut down on 9x19 consumption. I put up the Wilson EDC X9 and pulled out the NP3 STI Lawman. I also acquired a Robar-smithed Glock 36 as I have a lot of 9x19 Glock trigger time over the past couple of years. The G36 grip is not too different from the G26.3 grip

On the grip issue, the VCD grips do the trick. Not the prettiest by any means, but they sure lock the pistol in the hand. Too much grip for me, so I use VZ grips.

What a sexy gun, love those grips.

[JonInWA]

Great thread-glad to see you're actually running the WC 1911. The two-tone finish is handsome, but finish is way down on my use/practicality criteria, relatively speaking. I will admit to jonesing a bit on some of Alchemy Arms' offerings-their blueing is superb, but would probably end up opting for the hard chrome option for superior wear/weather protection.

I'm currently using and carrying my updated 2006-vintage SIG GSR XO and Colt stainless Seres 70 Repro. More than I expected, due to some ongoing short- and long-term T&E projects....https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?46080-2006-Vintage-SIG-GSR-With-Evolutionary-Empirically-Derived-Improvements

I'm a huge fan of VCD grips, and G10 grips (in my case, Hogue in a classic {well, as classic as you can get with G10...} double-diamond configuration.

Also sticking with conventional wire springs for both recoil spring and magazine springs.

Best, Jon

I'm embarrassed to post this in a thread full of gorgeous Wilsons but wanted to follow up on the Wilson flat wire recoil spring, which completely transformed this pre-Series II Pro Carry into something I'd almost consider carrying. It's gone from hard-kicking and barfing a couple times each trip (mostly because I would flinch shooting one-handed) to extremely flat shooting and reliable through the whopping 200 rounds I've put through it since. For a shorter 1911, it's a must IMO.

Pretty pleased with these black cherry double diamond G10 grips from VZ. I'd like to add the Wilson Combat medallions at some point to recapture the original appearance, but this combines the classic look I was seeking with the extra grip provided by the G10.

Burnt by Light added these silver Wilson Medallions to the VZ G10 double diamonds. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I think I've recaptured the traditional look I desired, but with the added benefit of the G10 traction.
