Wilson Combat X-TAC Elite, Full-Size 5", Black Armor-Tuff®, .45 ACP

The X-TAC Elite is designed for shooters seeking a practical, custom 1911-style pistol that excels in daily carry and rigorous training scenarios. Enhanced by Wilson Combat gunsmiths, it combines cutting-edge tactical performance with striking aesthetics and precision craftsmanship.

The legendary Wilson Combat X-TAC tread pattern is known for rock-solid traction and high round count shooting comfort. Coupled with performance options like our reload-enhancing one-piece Bullet Proof® Magwell and carry options like the concealment hammer and grip safety, the X-TAC Elite has all the right custom features and striking good looks. Other options like perfectly executed top and rear of slide serrations cut down glare on bright range days. Extra detail is lavished on the X-TAC Elite slide with machined carry cuts, Ball Endmill cuts, and a heavy machined bottom slide chamfer that enhances cosmetics, streamlines your pistol’s profile, and reduces sharp edges.

The bi-directional, X-TAC frontstrap and slide treatment offer enhanced grip and improved durability over traditional checkering in severe, hard-use environments. Scientifically designed by Bill Wilson to work with dry or wet hands and with or without tactical gloves, the X-TAC pattern redefines secure shooting comfort and gun handling without other grip treatments' coarse, painful nature. In tandem with our aggressive G-10 Starburst grips, the X-TAC tread pattern locks securely into the firing hand and will reduce muzzle flip without snagging on clothes or cover garments.

The X-TAC Elite has all of the same Wilson Combat perfected internal quality as our flagship CQB pistols with guaranteed accuracy, enhanced reliability, and the highest quality parts and assembly in the industry. All of this is backed up by Wilson Combat’s industry-leading customer service policy, where we ensure your satisfaction with a Wilson Combat firearm product forever with no strings attached.
