The typical WC workmanship. I've had a Colt AR and a Wilson. The workmanship on the WC was much higher than the Colt. Which is what you would expect out of a rifle with that much higher of a price point.
I've had no issues with my Wilson. It's a great rifle. Stupid accurate and reliable
But, like their 1911s, they aren't for everyone.

IME with a lot of high speed types, what often makes them high speed is not necessarily that they are "the best" with pure weapons handling or marksmanship. They are very good, but many here could out shoot them. What makes them great is the total package. I will also note that the greater majority don't necessarily know the finer details of what makes a great rifle. Most of the SME types discussed in this thread would tend to be more the exception than the rule.
I have found that workmanship does not always equal functionship. You're right, their 1911's are not for everyone. After multiple warranty return trips, they finally bought my Supergrade Tactical back from me and I bought a SIG and a Glock and have had a much better go of things without all the malfunctions and sights falling off etc.
I couldn't have said it better from my limited experience. I have attended a few classes with people who I consider "high-speed" (current SOCOM), and what impressed me most about them was how damn smart and well-rounded they were as people. The typical "in-practice" 3-gunner I have seen is a "better shot" on paper at the range. But if you drop them in a 3rd world hell-hole they might curl up and die of the shits rather than raise a government-altering army.
Sometimes I feel like asking some of those high-speed guys about weapons is about asking a doctor which arterial line manufacturer they prefer.
You left out Costa - the most celebrity of all the instructors even. LaRue has a carbine with his name all over it. Both him and Haley are also known to run and endorse KAC guns.
ETA: I guess I should've read all five pages of this thread before I spit that out. Anyway, that dude Grady Powell from Asymmetric Solutions seems to like the Black Rain Ordnance. Personally, I don't give two ****s who endorses what guns. I'd like to think that I've got a lot of personal experience behind the trigger in real world applications to decide for myself what I want in a fighting carbine (accessories aside). Nevertheless this has been a fun read.
