Greetings all,
My shooting buddy just picked up a used KZ45. We will be taking it out for a range session this weekend. This could very well be my next handgun. What a perfect marriage of 1911 technology and polymer. Aside from the fact that the thing locks up like a bank vault, and that the trigger is the widest and most comfortable trigger I've ever felt on a 1911, and that it just oozes refinement when working the slide........it is the most comfortable 1911 style gun I've ever picked up. Really really nice. The grip is actually a hair thinner than a standard 1911 w/ grips. However, the front and backstraps have a more squared off feel to them. I've always felt the 1911 was a little too thin in the grip area. This new setup was perfect. It allowed a really positive grip. I'm sure there are a lot of 1911 pureists on this site that wouldn't like it though. For me, it provided the perfect placement of hand on grip so that unlitmately, the trigger finger rides perfectly in the placement of the finger tip pad across the trigger face. I can't wait to sling a few rounds through it to see how recoil and handling will be. I never thought I would seriously consider a handgun over $1k, but this one is worthy of consideration. I'm used to shooting Springfield Loaded models and 1911's of that class. My SA Loaded seems barbaric and crude compared to this Wilson. The Robar finish is perfectly applied. Dry firing a couple of shots, the gun just didn't move at all when lining up the sights. I have high hopes on this pistol on the performance end. If it shoots as well as I think it will, I will be selling off my SA Loaded to partially fund this most excellent acquisition.
