The 1911 handgun was designed by John Moses Browning, one of the most influential firearm designers in history. In the late 19th century, the U.S. military sought to replace their aging service revolvers with a more modern, reliable, and effective handgun. In response, Browning began work on a new semi-automatic pistol design.
The design of the M1911 was groundbreaking for its time, featuring a recoil-operated, single-action design with a magazine capacity of 7 rounds. It was also highly ergonomic and easy to use, with a slim grip and a simple manual safety that the shooter’s thumb could operate.
Bill Wilson was a competitive shooter passionate about customizing firearms to enhance their performance and accuracy. He began working on the 1911 platform in the early 1970s, modifying his own pistols and those of his fellow competitors. In 1977, Bill Wilson established Wilson Combat to offer his custom 1911 modifications to a broader audience.
