Owners of the Wilson Combat 1911 CQB-FS in .45 ACP consistently note the build quality and out-of-the-box accuracy as the pistol's main strengths. The hand-fitting and tight tolerances get specific credit, and most owners find the trigger pull in the 3.5-4.5 lb range to be a meaningful advantage over stock 1911s.

Price is the dominant discussion point. Wilson Combat 1911s sit near the top of the market on cost, and most owners accept that as appropriate for what they get; a smaller group finds it difficult to justify against less expensive alternatives. The full-size steel frame weight also comes up -- it is workable at the range or for home defense but heavier than most people want for daily carry.
