Willson Combat Professional Elite Tactical
Meaning of Valor , Valor is honor plus dignity. It's gallant bravery and strength, especially on the battlefield or in the face of danger. Saint George displayed valor when he finally slayed the dragon. It's a trait fit for a hero. Valor comes from the Latin valorem for “strength, moral worth,” with the sense of “courage” added later.
@ChrisMarshall1978007 very interesting. Thanks for sharing
@@TerryBenton I love the channel man ! Thanks
@@ChrisMarshall1978007 absolutely. Thank you for watching
Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing!! I hope the WC owners have watched this video because it should put nearly every debate of WC vs DW to rest, hopefully
It is very close. Thank you for watching
Kimbers are problematic. I have 2 Colts. Eats everything.
@kirkgardner8772 I love colt 1911s. I have several of them. Thank you for watching
Kimber should be out of business at this point. They have zero regard for QC.
The Wilson CQB that I own is hands down, the most accurate auto I have. If I do my part, it wil hold 1" at 25 yards. Having said that, it's not my choice as a defense handgun. If that thing gets even a little dirty, it will start to malfunction. The 1911 is an awesome design, but I wouldn't choose one for self defense.
@andywindes4968 they can be a little problematic when running dry and dirty but still a very good design. Thanks for watching
Do you prefer government or commander size 1911?
I like them both but my favorite is the commander size
I wish D.W. would have bobbed the grip on the T.C.P.. I would have bought it over the crappie Springfield T.R.P. I got stuck with.
@BLACKWOLF-1911 I am not a fan of thr TRP. I had a stainless full size a long time ago. The checkering is way to aggressive. Those guns do ha e alot of mim parts in them. Thisnis fine except they charge a premium for it. The DW I have is the valor which is in this video. They have a bobbed frame. I like that TCP, but if you are looking at a bobbed frame amd want to get rid of the trp maybe check out a Valor.
I just think you proved my point that a dan wesson is levels below a wilson combat and closer to a kimber. I know the dan wesson is better but i dont think by much. They are both cnc pistols.
@sparky_-mf2cs itnis closer to a wilson than it is to a Kimber. I have a follow up video I am going to post probably tomorrow. Watch it then give me your opinion. I am looking forward to hearing it
@TerryBenton i will most definitely watch it Thanks for the content brother
@@sparky_-mf2cs yw
@TerryBenton it would be cool if you could compare a DW to a kimber or springfield in and out in detail. Maybe youll change my mind😂 the only DW i have experience with and own is a classic bobtail.
@@sparky_-mf2cs I will.see what I can do
Dan Wesson is top tier 1911's, I own 3 in 10mm and Im looking for my 4th one the Dạn Wesson 10mm Kodiak !!!!!!😊
@@dickeymoore3662 10mm is a powerful round. Super cool. Thanks for watching
@@TerryBenton no problemo
I have 2 turn of the century Kimbers that are amazing and never needed work. The Stainless Gold Match has a 2.5LB trigger out of the box. I also have a SCHD that fits my hand perfectly and seems to just hit where I point even when moving. None of these compare to the VBOB or the 5" Valor. My main problem is that I sent the SCHD back to Kimber for FTF & they didn't fix it. The ramp was cockeyed. Had to take it to a gunsmith. Now it's perfect. But I'll never buy another one.
@@randyduncan795 I had a team match years ago. It was the top of the line Kimber at the time. It had feeding issues also. Put a bad taste in my mouth. They are just cheaply made. Thank you for your comment and watching
@@TerryBenton Kimber makes guns with features and looks that no one else does at the price. But don't buy one unless your plan is to finish the job yourself or have the gunsmith do the fitting Kimber refuses to. I've been 100% satisfied with my Dan Wessons.
@@randyduncan795 I could not agree more
Hey Terry, maybe some time you could review a S&W PC 1911 ?
I do not own one but I can look into seeing if I can borrow one. I will try my best
@@TerryBenton Thank you sir....
To my knowledge, I thought Wilson was still considered semi custom. Custom tier is something akin to more of nighthawk where the tolerances are simply amazing. Tightness beyond belief and smoothness out of this world. Or maybe true custom is literally getting something custom to yourself. As opposed to a custom quality off the shelf model.
Regardless, people should really look into standard manufacturing 1911s. They are probably your absolute best bang for your buck no frills quality 45 1911. No mim parts and the fitment is great. With my example, I could push the barrel down ever so slightly and the slide to frame fit had a teensy bit of play. But it’s lights out accurate and crazy reliable. And looks great. And if you want a royal blue 1911. It’s pretty much the only guy in town without waiting forever for one from colt to pop up for sale or getting custom work. I got the HPX but I really want to get a royal blued one. They also make them in other finishes as well like color case hardening and nickel. Awesome American company with American craftsmen
I habe personally never handled a standard 1911. As far as comparing nighthawk to Wilson, they are basically the same. Nighthawk woukd not exist if it was not for wilson combat. It was literally old Wilson employees that started the company in the same exact town. I will loom those 1911s up. Thank you for watching
@@TerryBenton I’ve just heard that the tolerances are a little tighter with nighthawk because it’s one gun, one gunsmith. I personally don’t care about that slogan. I know Wilson has multiple gunsmiths that work on one gun. They have the absolute best expert work on fitting the barrel and another guy fitting the slide. Seems like a better system to me. And they definitely seem to have a much better time of getting the guns out instead of being back ordered for over a year.
Wilson is custom. It’s not one gun one gunsmith… but when you buy one there’s a list of people who check off on every single aspect of the gun and test fire it. Bill Wilson says it’s better to have the best trigger guy do triggers. Best magwell guys do magwells etc. one gun one gunsmith is a marketing gimmick. You don’t have your quarterback play center. The Wilson I have is better than my Wilson and up to par with my full custom alchemy’s
@jeremyfreed6202 I agree. Wilson has best sill set do the work. Nighthawk was started by Wilson employees. Just an FYI. They stole their platform.
