Wilson Combat has teamed up with Larry Vickers on yet another 1911. The new Vickers Elite Commander will incorporate many of the same features as the full-size Vickers Elite pistol that Wilson introduced back in 2015.
The pistol will predictably sport a packed feature list with all of the things that a high-end 1911 buyer might be searching for if they are looking for a gun that is far more at home on the range slinging lead than it is in a collector's safe.
Here's what Wilson Combat said about the new pistol:
Berryville, Arkansas — The Vickers Elite® Commander, by Wilson Combat, is the concealed carry version of the famed Larry Vickers designed full-size Vickers Elite®model 1911. This 4.25” bushing barrel Commander version is a top choice of traditionalists who prefer a more compact carry gun with a bushing style takedown.
The Vickers Elite® Commander starts with Wilson Combat's hand-fitted, forged slide and frame combination along with their forged stainless steel bushing barrel for impeccable reliability and precise accuracy. Wilson Combat's rigorous hand-fitting specifications yield a match-accurate defensive pistol that you can count on regardless of shooting scenario.
The Vickers Elite® Commander wears the Vickers Tactical logo, special wide serrations, and proprietary G-10 grips to immediately identify this model in the field. Our one-piece, Bullet Proof® Magwell adds a practical, tactical touch for enhanced reloading under stress.
