Overview

The Wilson Combat X-TAC Supergrade is a hand-built, high-end M1911-pattern semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP.

Each pistol is assembled one at a time by Wilson Combat's most experienced pistolsmiths and features a match-grade stainless steel barrel with a flush-cut reverse crown, a fiber-optic front sight, a flared magazine well, black G10 grips, and a guaranteed 1.5-inch accuracy standard at 25 yards.
