Hey all,
Thought I'd augment my wonderful 9mm CZ-75B with a good .45; at my favorite gun shop today I looked over the CZ-97 (liked it), the Sig P-220 (liked it a lot), the H&K (worst fit to my hand, by very nice otherwise), and a few Kimbers.
Then, in the very corner of the case, I spotted two Norinco 1911A1s, resting on blue nylon Wilson Combat bags. Sure enough, the sales ticket, under "other," read: Wilson Combat Pkg.
One had a blued frame with a parkerized slide, the one I chose had both frame and slide parkered. The parkering looks brand new. I've never owned a parkerized finish before, so this COULD technically be the ArmorTuff finish, I have no idea. It's a non-glossy matte-ish finish.
I'm not sure exactly what "Wilson Combart Pkg" means, but the trigger, sights, hammer and barrel were definitely not original. The grips, grip safety and ejector looked non-original as well, but I'm not familiar enough to say. Trigger pull was incredibly crisp and light. Came with one stainless Wilson Combat magazine.
Got it for a hair over $500. Can anyone tell me a little about the Wilson Combat treatment? I know they make just about every 1911 accessory there is, but is there a "standard" package? There was no paperwork provided, unfortunately. However, the only serial number is the Wilson one, right below the Wilson Combat script.
It was a great fit for me, and I really took it right away. Anything I can learn would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
