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.
