New Vickers Elite Commander From Wilson Combat

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.
