NEW from Wilson Combat comes the SFT9 Light Rail! While this is basically the same SFT9 that Wilson Combat has offered for a few years, this new upgraded model now features a light rail.

The SFT9 is a double-stack 1911 built with a solid frame. Starting with a single block of T6-7075 Aluminum, the frame is cut as a single piece. The solid frame delivers enhanced performance and durability and tighter tolerances for a custom-fit feeling pistol.

Every SFT9 uses a hand-fit 4-1/4” match-grade Bushing style barrel and is rigorously tested before leaving the factory. 

While many double-stack 1911 pistols are built for competition, the SFT9 is truly built for EDC concealed carry. With a DLC finish for the ultimate in corrosion resistance to the carefully contoured edges to prevent snagging, the SFT9 is an EDC dream gun.
