New Model "Hackathorn Special"!

This is Ken's concept for his Wilson Combat "Dream Gun"
An Armor-Tuff model for the range and a blued model for display or the BBQ.
It is a unique gun designed by a unique individual and we are extremely proud of the finished product.

Ken Hackathorn is a "prime mover" in the world of 1911's. He has been an advocate and disciple of the platform for over 40 years. His choices are a result of his background and experiences training thousands of people to shoot "old Slabsides"

The concealment grip safety and hammer are reminiscent of the first practical beavertails of 70's designed by people like Hoag and Kings that were small enough to be useful but not too big they got in the way. The one piece magwell is the same length as a standard 47D magazine so it enhances reloading without adding excess length.

The look, the feel and the sprit of the gun is all "Ken". Nice upgrades, unique look and practical touches.

Very sexy. I really like the font on the Wilson logo.

Nice looking gats! Only thing I would have done different was no fcs on the blued model. Love the ball cuts!

Very sexy. I really like the font on the Wilson logo.

Agreed.

I also like the shortened forward cocking serrations on the blued pistol. That's coming from a guy that genuinely hates them on most other 1911's. Well done Wilson Combat!

WilsonCombatRep and Sam - thank you both for the information.

I miss Chuck as well. A refined and elegant 1911 seems to particularly remind me of him.

Good luck with the pistols, they are very nice.

Damn. That looks damn near perfect.

I'm normally not a fan of FCS either, but I could definitely overlook them on that pistol. Very very nice! No rail either, which is a plus in my book too.

That thing is pure sex.

I would love one of those. I have to agree that the font you guys used for Wilson Combat is the best yet.

That blued pistol in the first photo is really something special. It reminds of the pistol Chuck Petrie (Army Chief) had commissioned.

Are those grips available separately, or only with one of the pistols bearing Mr Hackathorn's name? I looked through your website and did not see them.

Thanks again for posting the pics, I do so admire a well-done 1911.
