Description

The Wilson Combat CQB .45 ACP 5″ 8+1 Black/OG Green is a single-action 1911 built for shooters who value precision and dependability. Hand-assembled with a match-grade barrel, it delivers consistent accuracy at the range and in duty roles. Chambered in .45 ACP, it offers proven stopping power with an 8+1 round capacity. The Black Armor-Tuff finish and diamond wood grips provide durability and a classic look. Tritium night sights ensure low-light readiness right out of the box.

Key Features

• Hand-fit match-grade barrel – Each 5-inch barrel is individually fitted to the slide and frame, which tightens lockup and improves accuracy shot after shot. This matters because consistent barrel-to-slide alignment reduces shot dispersion, especially at longer ranges.
• Tritium night sights – These self-illuminating sights glow for up to 12 years, giving you a clear sight picture in dawn, dusk, or dark conditions. Why it matters: you don’t have to swap sights for low-light home defense or evening range sessions.
• Black Armor-Tuff finish – This baked-on coating resists holster wear, moisture, and solvents far better than bluing. It matters because daily carry or heavy training won’t leave your pistol looking beat-up after a few months.
• Two 8-round magazines included – Wilson Combat magazines are known for reliable feeding and strong springs. This gives you a full reload right out of the box, saving you $50–$70 on extras.
• Extended beavertail grip safety – Prevents hammer bite and ensures a high, consistent grip for faster follow-up shots. This matters for shooters with larger hands or those who shoot hundreds of rounds per session.

Who It’s For

The CQB is for the shooter who wants a 1911 that shoots better than they do. It suits families building a precision pistol collection, instructors who need a reliable demo gun, and experienced shooters upgrading from entry-level 1911s. If you value hand-fitting over mass production, this pistol rewards that choice.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Outstanding accuracy from the hand-fit barrel; durable Armor-Tuff finish; tritium night sights included; two reliable magazines; Wilson Combat customer service is well-regarded.

Cons: The single-action trigger may feel unfamiliar to shooters used to striker-fired pistols, requiring training on manual safety operation. One honest drawback: the price point places it above many production 1911s, making it an investment for serious shooters.
