Wilson Combat has a long tradition of producing top-shelf 1911 pistols, and the new X-TAC Supergrade Line takes that history of craftsmanship and performance to a new level. No restrictions are placed on the time, effort, and expertise expended in the creation of the Supergrade custom pistols, and because of that, the Supergrade line of 1911 pistols distills decades of precision, attention-to-detail and meticulous craftsmanship into a pistol that represent the pinnacle of the gunsmithing arts.

Each pistol in the X-TAC Supergrade line is  built by an experienced, veteran Wilson Combat pistolsmith. The X-TAC Supergrade models use Wilson Combat’s enhanced, bi-directional, X-TAC frontstrap and slide treatment, resulting in enhanced grip traction in severe and hard-use environments. The X-TAC pattern is scientifically designed to work with dry or wet hands, with or without tactical gloves. The X-TAC is easy to hold, but because it lacks the rough edges and course texture found on other grips, it won’t tear up your hands with each range session.

The X-TAC Supergrade is built to deliver the very best in performance and precision, with the added enhanced grip pattern built from the ground up to keep you on-target and at the top of your game. Available in Full-Size, Command, Professional and Compact frame sizes, the X-TAC Supergrade comes with Wilson Combat’s 1-inch group at 25 yards accuracy guarantee.
