Hi Ken, I'm from 2023 and mustache survived. Always nice to see you guys.
Right haha he been rocking that stach for at least a couple decades
Contrary to much of today's modern run & gunners beliefs, the 1911 is absolutely still a very relevant carry firearm in 2023. A Wilson Combat built 1911 even more so! As an instructor and owner of a training academy I still daily a Wilson Combat Hackathon Special.
A good condition Wilson 1996 A-2 would still be a very nice pistol in 2023. Nearly all the information presented in this video is just as relevant today as when this video was made.
A good wilson combat from any year would be a nice pistol
I heard about Bill Wilson back in the 70's as a 1911 Competitive Shooter during my time in
CHICAGO in Law Enforcement. While working as a Plain Clothes Patrolman, as we were
Known back then, one of my carry weapons was a Colt 1911 Government. I still have it and
it has been retired along with me AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. But like KEN with his
Weapon, I know I can take the OLD GIRL out of retiement and stake my life on her as I did in
The PAST and it won't fail to function. A couple of years ago I got myself a Colt Series 80
1991 Government. The first one that got to shoot it before I did was my Grandson who had
NEVER shot a real weaoon. He grew up shooting Call of Duty and Black Ops video games.
Also Paint Ball. Well we went to our Bass Pro Shop and I'll tell you he had a blast with a
Real 1911. He did fall in LOVE with a stainless Colt Commander that I've had for the past
15 years. I was very IMPRESSED with his shooting abilities. That Colt Commander will be
his next year ( Sept. 2014 ) when he turns 21. But he doesn't know it.
But what I was very IMPRESSED also was that I had 4 BILL WILSON COMBAT Stainless
8 Round Magazines. NOT ONE and I do MEAN, NOT ONE of Them jammed. I had one
Pro Mag that constantly jammed. I was going to throw it away until I realized, hey I
could keep it for Range Time to Train with.
After leaving Bass Pro Shop I made a trip to my favorite Gun Shop LEE's to buy some
More WILSON COMBAT 8 ROUND MAGAZINES. LEE only had 2 left during The BIG
GUN SCARE Crises. I grabbed the 2 to add to the original 4 I had already bought from
him. A few nights later this retired guy ( me ) that's behind the times was able to order
4 GREAT WILSON COMBAT MAGAZINES directly from BILL WILSON'S Company using
my iPhone. I don't have much use for computers. But I can use an iPhone.
JOHN the Customer Service Rep Email me to make sure I had received the items I had
ordered. Well BILL WILSON you must already know you have a GREAT PRODUCT and
a STAFF that takes care of your Customers.
I only WISH I could have had your MAGAZINES while working some of the worst streets in
CHICAGO. BUT I do still carry a 1911 with WILSON COMBAT 8 ROUND MAGAZINES
and a couple of spare, just in case.
By the way I did enjoy THE VIDEO and even though it was from 1997 I still learned a LOT.
GOD BLESS and TAKE CARE,
From a VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!
Back in the Day I bought your 4 VHS tape set of your gunsmithing videos and it was very helpful particularly in fixing a very dangerous trigger condition that had been done on a Gold Cup by well known gunsmith back then as well as many other faults he left behind. I recognized the segment on the trigger maybe you could share the whole series on your channel.
ive got an old colt that was done up before their was any real after market parts available. alot of the upgrades wer crafted by hand witch is kinda amazing. everything honed and fitted to perfection, just like bill willson explains. and if you have a keen eye you might find one someday at the local gun shop that was mistaken for a no longer original mill surp and is priced at 300$ like mine was.
Guess i know how to entertain myself for next 2 hours.
2023 and love this stuff
We see what the end product of what teams of major manufacturers' engineers and decades of production should have accomplished in the first place.
I learned more in this video than anything else
I have an 18 pound 1911 spring in my 320. Runs like a champ.
Love the video. What exactly is a polishing stick?
I thought that sounded like Lenny Magill.
That is lenny
Lenny's everywhere.
