Brought home my first Wilson Combat 1911 today, a brand spankin' new ACP full-size in 45 Auto.

Build started on 20230828 and test fire completed on 20230921.

Over the moon is only about halfway to where I'm at right now.

Primary use will be for SCSA Steel Challenge in the Single Stack division, riding in a T.Rex Ragnarok holster and running WC 47D mags topped off with handloads. She'll be one of the lucky ones to see a high round count instead of being squirreled away in a safe, and I'm all too excited for it.

Yeah, you'll need a barrel bushing type comp...unless you want one that installs on a threaded barrel, which would increase the cost and complexity alot when you add on the $100-$300 for the price of a threaded barrel and the possible work it would take to fit that barrel into your 1911.

I've bought about 10 barrel bushing comps off of Ebay, and they work fine. I can definitely tell a difference in muzzle flip and felt recoil, but I think it's mostly due to the added weight and not from the comp directing the gasses upward. Here's links to a couple examples...


It's best to make sure the comp you buy has a similar finish as your 1911, otherwise it will look a little funny. With your SDS, you'll probably want a satin stainless comp, and not one that has a polished finish. A black comp would probably look good on there too, since your grips and controls are black as well. Just something to consider.

Here's the 2 styles of barrel bushing comps that I have ordrered off of ebay, along with my Tisas Duty with a comp, all of which have now been replaced with threaded barrels so I can shoot them suppressed. Except for a couple of them that I put 6" threaded barrels in, so I can keep the comp and still shoot suppressed. 😀 I attached a photo of one of those at the bottom.
