The Wilson Combat ACP Compact .45 ACP Armor-Tuff Pistol is the ACP Compact from Wilson Combat, an Armor-Tuff-finished 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 4-inch barrel (brand part no. ACP-CP-45). Wilson Combat builds the ACP line as a streamlined 1911, with a forged slide, forged frame and hand-fitted match-grade barrel made from its machined Bullet Proof parts. Customer options are limited to finish, sights and grips, which is how Wilson Combat keeps the price below its premium models without changing the parts underneath. The Eagle Claw treatment on the grips, frontstrap and rear cocking serrations adds traction without the abrasive feel of sharp checkering, which suits long range sessions and daily carry alike. A battlesight rear with a red fiber optic front sight comes standard, along with a tactical thumb safety and a high-grip beavertail grip safety.
