Manufacturer’s Description

Wilson Combat‘s X-TAC Compact is a .45 ACP 1911-style semiauto with an enhanced grip texture and enhanced sight picture. The new bi-directional, X-TAC frontstrap and slide treatment offer enhanced grip and improved durability over traditional checkering in severe and hard-use environments.  Designed to work with dry or wet hands, with our without tactical gloves, the X-TAC pattern is designed to provide secure shooting comfort and gunhandling without the coarse, often painful nature of other grip treatments. In tandem with Wilson Combat’s G-10 Starburst grips, the X-TAC tread pattern is designed to lock securely into the firing hand and reduce muzzle flip without snagging on clothes or cover garments.

The X-TAC wears Wilson Combat’s 1911 Battlesight.  This high profile rear sight has a .145″ wide U-notch for optimum sighting in low-light, dynamic range conditions.  The rear blade of the sight is serrated, while the notch area is recessed into a semi-circular pocket for a crisp, protected sight picture. It’s accompanied by the heavy-duty Wilson Combat fiber-optic front sight.

Other features include:

• A compact carbon steel frame;
• the X-TAC frontstrap/mainspring housing treatment;
• a High-Ride beavertail grip safety;
• a tactical thumb safety;
• a 3.5–3.75 lb. crisp trigger pull;
• a contoured magazine well;
• G10 Starburst grips;
• a 4″ carbon steel slide;
• a 4″ stainless match grade barrel and bushing, hand fit;
• the X-TAC rear  cocking serration treatment;
• de-horned for carry;
• a mil-spec parkerized phosphate finish; and
• test-fire and zero.

Note: Wilson Combat also offers a full-size version of this pistol.
