SOCOM Gear - FULLY LICENSED WILSON COMBAT CQB ELITE

[808]

Found a new company called "SOCOM Gear" that's starting to make some custom guns. Their first major product is a "Fully Licensed" Wilson Combat CQB Elite.

I must say, I like it a lot. And I think 1911s are the fugliest pistols out there (HK & Glock, FTW!). So that's saying a lot.

I know a lot of you folks like this sorta thing - so check out the eye-candy below:





Wowsa - that's the sexiest 1911 single-stack I've ever seen. Add a threaded barrel and I'm set.

Any of you have something similar?

The real gun this one takes its namesake from is actually the CQB Tactical (the Elite doesn't have the rail). Looks pretty much like Springfield Armory's Operator 1911, or Kimber MARSOC.

Still prefer the MEU(SOC).45 myself.

Work-in-progress on mine

How about the GSR 1911 from SigArms?

Thanks Illusion.

Quite the interesting read.

Drake, is that a WE? If so how does it perform? I've wanted to make a MEUSOC out of a WE but heard the mags suck.

That's not a Wilson. That's a SW1911.... Look at the rail, and serrations.

LOL.. I'm as confused as anyone. I still REALLY want one.

Fuck Canada. Seriously.

Apparently the lead designer is from Madbull.... Interesting, eh?

I'll post a review if I have time in the coming weeks.

Its a rebranded WE....don't bother....or rather, get it if you like that sort of stuff....

[RacingManiac]

btw, if someone were to ever make GSR kit for TM I'll buy another TM to make one....that's a good looking 1911 too...

Where are you getting your info? It's 100% TM compatible...

[Yannos]

Awesome looking GBB.

I like the grip on it.

It's a dead ringer for the WE, for one (except for different trigger and grips). Even comes with the 2nd mag.

And then read the description very careful (i.e., lawyer mode)

Wilson Combat fully licensed full metal CQB Elite 1911 gas blowback pistol has a metal slide which is compatible with TM and metal lower frame with a rail for mounting accessories like a M3 Pistol Flashlight.

Just like the WE, the SLIDE is TM compatible, but not the frame.
