Wilsons are generally good pistols, but IMHO they're overpriced for what you get. Like another poster said, they've recently "cheaped out" and are using MIM parts on some models. But the prices didn't go down!

I also handled a few that seemed to have nothing but sharp edges on every surface. Not much fun if you're going to shoot a lot.

Comparing features, fit, accuracy, trigger, reliability, etc., I think Les Baer makes a better 1911-type .45 pistol for the money.
