Tactical Elite
We all want to avoid life and death encounters – but if you
are unfortunate enough to find yourself in one –
you don’t want to have to worry about
performance of your firearm. When nothing less
than 100% functional reliability, fast handling,
rapid shot-to-shot recovery and accuracy is
acceptable, you want to have a Wilson Combat®
Tactical Elite on your side. Possibly the
easiest .45ACP pistol to shoot well in today’s
market, it is the highest performance self
defense pistol available.
With all the combat proven features of a typical CQB, the
Tactical Elite provides the additional advantage
of a fully supported hand-fit, heavy flanged
cone match grade barrel. The extra weight of the
heavier-than-standard barrel gives the shooter
softer recoil and faster recovery time between
shots. The Tactical Elite also utilizes a unique
take-down procedure that allows you to remove
the guide rod, plug, and recoil spring in one
captive unit.
This pistol is designed with the defensive shooter in mind;
no expense has been spared to deliver a
masterfully engineered weapon with the utmost in
reliability, accuracy, and ease of use under
difficult conditions.
The Wilson Combat® ambidextrous thumb safety is standard,
also an extended ejector, our Combat Tactical
tritium insert sighting system, skeletonized
ultra light hammer, and ultra light trigger,
plus much more. Because the Tactical Elite’s
primary purpose - the saving of a life – is so
critical, details such as the fit of parts,
polishing and throating of the barrel, beveling
the magazine well, lowering and flaring the
ejection port, and tuning of the extractor are
critical and receive the attention necessary to
assure complete performance.
Control for recovery shots is enhanced with a high-cut front
strap, and 30 lpi checkering on both the front
strap and flat mainspring housing, and our
High-Ride Beavertail grip safety.
The Tactical Elite is completely dehorned and finished with
the toughest coating available – Wilson
Combat’s® Armor-Tuff®, in your choice of a
single or contrasting colors for the slide and
frame.
