M-1911 Holsters : Wilson Combat |
Wilson's involvement into the holsters business looks as exciting as their guns. Here are their offerings :
Lo-Profiletm
The Lo-Profiletm holster is designed for the person that carries all day long and demands maximum comfort and concealability. This holster's pancake style design actually conforms to the shape of the waist, blending its lines to those of the person wearing it. This feature has obvious benefits for concealment, but also helps the holster feel more comfortable with less likelihood of it hanging up on objects or shifting position. The two-belt slot design positions the holster with a slight forward cant while providing incredible stability. This carry position offers maximum comfort and concealability while allowing a very smooth draw from just about any position. The low-cut front will have you clearing leather just above the belt line. A custom-formed safety guard is incorporated in this design to protect the thumb safety and your clothing during carry. Available in cowhide, sharkskin or horsehide.
Tiger Sharktm
This holster is designed with maximum convenience in mind, while providing much greater stability than what you'd find in most other paddle holsters. The Tiger Sharktm isn't quite as concealable as the Lo-Profiletm , but it does rival it as one of our most comfortable designs. The paddle design offers many advantages for the person who finds himself/herself taking the holster on and off several times a day. If you quickly need your holster, simply slide the body contouring paddle into your waistband until the retaining clip snaps over your belt (up to 1 1/2"), then youÕre ready to go.Conventional leather holster construction cannot meet the challenge of a properly designed paddle holster. The Tiger Sharktm is constructed using the thermolaminate process which laminates a stiff piece of thermoplastic between a suede lining and premium cowhide or sharkskin exterior. A holster manufactured by this process will always retain its shape and allow the front to be cut lower without sacrificing retention. Thermolaminate holsters are also impervious to moisture. The front of the Tiger Sharktm has a wide sight channel preventing your front sight from touching the holster. The rear sight and thumb safety are protected by rigid guards that run up both sides and to the rear of the slide. The Tiger Sharktm is a very fast holster with an adjustable tension screw and the front cut 1/4" below the ejection port, to clear leather well below the top of the belt.
Practicaltm
The Practicaltm holster is a very fast, durable range holster designed specifically for shooting school and competition use. This holster features a unique balance between the need for maximum speed while providing adequate security and protection of your firearm. The Practicaltm holster sits lower on the belt than our concealment holsters and has a low-cut front, wide sight track, and adjustable tension screw. These features combined with a very slight butt forward cant, have you clearing leather below the belt line for a lightning-fast draw.The Practicaltm holster is constructed using the same leather polymer laminate construction we use for our Tiger Sharktm holsters. The result is a very tough holster requiring very little maintenance. Available in cowhide or sharkskin.
The Rapid Responsetm
The Rapid Responsetm holster is designed for maximum drawing speed without sacrificing the features required for a quality carry holster. In fact, this holster has all of the safety features of Wilson's other carry holsters including the snug custom contoured fit for positive retention and a full length thumb safety guard. The additional drawing speed is accomplished by dropping the gun just a little lower on the hip and positioning it slightly further away from the body. This allows you to very quickly acquire a full firing grip with less interference from clothing and your body. Once you have your grip, the wide-cut polymer sight track eliminates friction of the sight coming out of the holster. The low-cut front lets you clear leather just above the belt line. While this holster is not quite as concealable as the Lo-Profiletm or Covert Companiontm it does bring the butt of the gun inward for concealability and works well for most applications.
Summer Companiontm
This is an inside-the- waistband (IWB) holster. An optimized variation of the traditional Bruce Nelson design.
Featherweight IWBtm
This is an inside-the- waistband (IWB) holster. This holster is not only one of the lightest IWB holsters available,
it's really comfortable too. The fact that the portion in your pants is extremely thin
and the cant is adjustable lets this holster 'custom fit' to YOUR body. Re-enforced
top provides easy one handed re-holstering too. Design of the top portion locks
your 1911 style thumb safety in the ON position for maximum safety.
Adjustertm
Normally when you buy any product that's advertised as "one
size fits all" or "multipurpose" you expect to give up
performance for versatility. Fortunately this is not the case with
the ALL NEW Wilson Combat ADJUSTER model holster.
By the use of three adjustment screws you can custom fit the
same model of holster to a wide variety of pistols. For
example, the same holster will properly fit all the following
pistols: All single stack 1911 models with barrel length of 4
1/4" - 5", Para Ordnance P14, Springfield 1911A1 Hi-Cap,
STI/SVI pistols, Browning Hi-Power, CZ 75, EAA Witness,
S&W 4506. How can this be possible? Well it works like this.
The main adjustment screw mounted on the welt moves a
plastic roller (which contacts the portion of the pistol just in
front of the trigger guard) closer or farther from the sight track.
This allows you to adjust how much holster retention you want
on the pistol. Another adjustment screw over the trigger guard
allows you to adjust the holster to your pistol's specific trigger
guard width and keeps the pistol from being able to twist in the
holster. The final adjustment screw is located close to the
muzzle and allows you to adjust out any front to rear "rock"
your pistol might have. Once properly adjusted (which only
takes a minute or so) your pistol will fit in the ADJUSTER just
like it was custom molded to your gun. But one of the best
features is the way your pistol will draw, smooth and quick due
to the molded generous sight track and plastic roller contact.
The ADJUSTER is supplied with a convenient and comfortable
paddle which not only makes the holster easy to take on and
off, it also is rock solid on your belt. An optional "ingenious"
adjustable cant belt slot back piece is also available that works
equally well with belts of 1" - 1 3/4" and takes only a couple of
minutes to change from paddle to belt slot use. The
ADJUSTER is available for right handers in a black laminate of
shark/leather/kevlar/kydex materials and is virtually
indestructible.
