The Wilson Combat CQB Elite Full-Size .45 ACP Armor-Tuff Pistol is the CQB Elite Full-Size from Wilson Combat, an Armor-Tuff-finished 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel (brand part no. CQBE-FS-45). Wilson Combat builds the CQB Elite around a standard package of custom features, including Bullet Proof parts throughout, 30 LPI serrations on the top of the slide, 40 LPI serrations on the rear and cocking serrations on the front. A battlesight rear with a fiber optic front sight, a high-cut checkered frontstrap and a high-ride beavertail grip safety are part of that package too. The G10 Starburst grips with pewter medallions give the hands a positive hold for hard use. It is a duty-style 1911 for shooters who want the custom work done at the factory.
