No offense against wilson owners, they make fine pistols, but they are over priced IMHO. I think you'd be wise to look into the offerings from Spingfield and Kimber. Both make an excellent 1911 for the money. I don't know much about them, but many people like para ordance also. Personally, I'm a fan of the HK and Sig Classic pistols. |

Last I heard, the KZ compact is not shipping until August, maybe later. Don't quote me on this but, this is what my dealer said. If this is true, you may be waiting for a while to be able to play with your new toy. I have a KZ-45 full size, and it is a great piece. I think Wilsons are great, with the service to back it up. I am sizing up a compact CQB at the moment. If this is going to be your first pistol you own, I think a Wilson would be a great choice. It will certainly carry a lot of sentimental value down the road. |
| I jus emailed WC and asked them when the KZ-Compact will be coming out... if it doesnt come out till august or later i will get me a KZ-45... i like the all black and a little bit of stainless steel look... no black slide and stainless grip for me... the green look is cool too but that pistol is like 3k waaaaaaay outta my league... |
Im either gonna get Kimber Pro Carry HD(hd=.45) a KZ-Compact or a KZ-45 I'm looking more into the Wilson Combat pistols. I dont much go for different colored slides and grips and all that... gotta be all one color with a little bit of stainless like my pic posted above.. no wood grips either unless its like a old 1911 back in the day kinda thing... I'm picky but i gotta be when buying guns... im not gonna buy something unless i love it or its perfect for me.. specially paying near a grand
