New for 2010 The Ultralight Carry
At Wilson Combat we set out a few years ago to build the best alloy frame we could from Aluminum forgings, thoughtfully beefed up in certain areas to resist wear and damage over the long haul. We partnered with one of the best mil-spec firearms anodizers in the world and spared little expense to build a great, durable lightweight 1911 frame. Recently we noticed a trend-serious operators were ordering more lightweight 5” guns than ever before. They wanted the reliability and sight radius of the 5” gun without the back straining effects of the steel frame. Belts carry a lot more stuff than they used to since the advent of cell phones and other essential gear. The Ultralight Carry is our latest “package” gun to meet the needs of the person who carries a 5” gun, 24-7. We were able to shave six ounces off of a steel gun without sacrificing accuracy, reliability or durability. We then added all of the latest cosmetic features and blended them with some of our newest parts, geared towards concealment pistols. Ultralight Carry- .45acp Barrel length- 5” Stainless match grade barrel & bushing, flush cut and crowned. Weight- 32.8 oz empty Sights- Tactical Combat Pyramid, U notch rear sight with 40 LPI Serrations Improved ramp front sight with white outline tritium insert.. Rounded Butt Countersunk Slide Stop Wilson Carry cuts/ Ball Endmill Cuts Full Size Aluminum Frame 30 LPI High Cut Checkered Frontstrap Concealment bullet proof thumb safety Concealment Hammer and grip safety 3 ½# - 3 ¾# crisp trigger pull with medium length solid pad Heavy machine chamfer on bottom of slide 30 LPI slide top serrations 40 LPI serrated rear of slide and extractor

In .45acp, it will have a standard(non-ramped barrel) barrel. In the other calibers( 9mm and 38 Super) it will feature a integrally ramped barrel.

Omega-cog,
I've requested a pic of the other side of the Ultralight Carry. In the mean time, is there any question I can answer about the other side....no real surprises on that side? |

So less than 5 inch guns are not reliable? Interesting, as http://bobmarvelcustomguns.com/ says that he cuts down full size slides to Commander length as that gives a .2 inch increase in slide travel over factory-made commander length slides to increase reliability. Any comments? |

Any comments? Wilson makes this in a Compact model too. If Wilson didn't think they were reliable, I'm sure they wouldn't sell them. Nonetheless, there are many in the 1911 community who feel that the 5incher is the mist reliable of the 1911 guns. With that said, there is no doubt you can build reliable 1911s with 4 & 3 inch barrels. If I were to buy an ultralight, make mine a compact. |

If I needed to use a handgun to defend my life and those of my family, I would not think that spending a pretty penny for "every shot counts" reliability is too much.

I wouldn't mind having 1 of these in a .9mm. Only in a shorter barrel carry version would be nice!
