We are fortunate to have Mr. Bill Wilson himself as a member of The O.T.  Ya'll should check out his web site as it is first class.

http://www.wilsoncombat.com/ - http://www.wilsoncombat.com/

I noticed that they have a new Polymer Pistol that is really nice.  They don't have a name for it yet and they were running a contest to name it but it ended today.
 
Here is what I submitted.
 
FEATHER
It is a simple one word name that conveys the main selling point of the weapon.  It also lends itself to some unique logo possibilities for branding.

I've been a Wilson Combat fan since way back before the shotguns and ARs and custom knives and custom leather. 

My first personal 1911 was GI1911A1 from Springfield Armory, and it was entirely rebuilt with Wilson parts - and eventually refinished by them with their teflon finish.  That was about 15 years ago and that gun still runs like a top.


Bill, we're happy you joined us, and a commemorative SWFA pistol would be much appreciated (color case hardened, if you don't mind) send it to me for review first, please.

      I'm really glad to have Bill here visiting with us.  I obviously have not paid enough attention to the pistols he's been building as he is doing some very innovative work.  I knew they were top shelf but I've been concentrating on rifles the last several years. I've always had a 1911 - well almost always mom bought me one when I was about 15  - Colt Government  $125.00.  well gas was .19 cents a gallon then too.

Im honored to have the ability to read from the master.When I got my first 1911,I   was aware that as fighting pistols go, for my hand, and grip,this was as good as it gets.
  My goal is to upgrade to a Wilson ,and the 1911 I own is solid,however hind site tells me put the money on the best stuff and you are money ahead.Easier said than done.
Lokk foward to learning!Excellent

I had the privilege to use a Wilson Combat tactical elite for a 2 day pistol class. A buddy of mine let me borrow it.  I put 800 rounds through it and it is the finest pistol I have ever shot.
