Wilson Combat Announces New Protector Models

The 2015 Protector is based on Wilson Combat's steel or lightweight, light-rail frame in Full-size, Professional or Compact trim and was designed from the ground up as a next generation all-around, carry 1911 pistol with modern styling and performance enhancements.

Built on Wilson Combat's rugged steel or lightweight aluminum light-rail capable frames, the 2015 Protector will help you own the night in every possible fighting scenario with the legendary reliability, accuracy and detailing that a Wilson Combat custom pistol is known for. You can tailor the specifications and caliber of your chosen 2015 Protector to the tactical task at hand. Whether you are carrying concealed or for duty use-the choice is yours, the size and performance options of the 2015 Protector can be modified to meet your needs.

Every 2015 Protector has all the features selected for our rendition of the ultimate modern tactical handgun including a fluted tactical cone barrel, round butt, one-piece Bullet Proof magwell and a unique slide profile that wears both our signature carry cuts and abbreviated front cocking serrations-a unique styling feature of this model.

Extensively tested by Wilson Combat's internal cadre of experts and external tactical shooting professionals, the 2015 Protector represents the best of the tactical 1911 breed.
