Wilson Combat Launches Sentinel Professional 1911

Arkansas based Wilson Combat knows a thing or five (or twelve) about making quality 1911 handguns. Their latest, the Sentinel Professional, pairs up a short slide with a full size frame.

Here's what they have to say about it:

The Sentinel Professional is the perfect marriage of our shortest slide fighting pistol-the Sentinel and the full-size Professional length grip frame. This combination is preferred by many shooters looking for maximum carry concealment and shooting comfort on the range.

The 3.6” Sentinel Professional slide (update to allow flush cut muzzle and reverse plug) clears your carry holster extremely fast on the draw but still retains the match-grade accuracy that is the hallmark of the Wilson Combat line of custom 1911’s. With numerous custom features designed to enhance performance and cosmetics, the Sentinel Professional is a unique and practical choice for the discriminating shooter who wants a smaller carry gun with the reliability and handling of a full size frame.

Chambered exclusively in 9mm and .38 Super, the Sentinel Professional combines striking good looks, a practical size and like all our hand-built, custom firearms it proudly carries Wilson Combat’s industry leading 100% customer satisfaction pledge.

Easy to carry and a joy to shoot, the Sentinel Professional may be the perfect tactical option for you.
