Wilson Combat just announced a new 5-inch barrel model for the SFX9 that provides greater velocity and accuracy for 1911-lovers who prefer full-size 1911s.
Wilson Combat’s Bill Wilson is responsible for keeping the 1911 a viable fighting weapon in the 21st Century. There are many things to love about the old G.I. Although there are many things to love about the.45, they can be a poor choice for self-defense in 2022. Wilson Combat believes in John Browning’s original design and feels that the pistol can be made just as reliable using modern manufacturing techniques and technology. Wilson Combat’s 1911 models are highly regarded by those who own them. Wilson Combat’s SFX9 series was created to modernize the platform. It features solid aluminum frames, double stack magazines, and is chambered for 9mm. The SFX9 was originally only available in 3.25-inch or 4-inch barrels. Wilson Combat just announced a full-size model of their SFX9. This full-size model will have a 5-inch barrel. This will allow for greater velocity and potential accuracy, as well as a longer sight radius. The SFX9 comes with the same 15-round flush fit magazines as the other SFX9 pistols. However, extended 18-round mags can be purchased. The majority of the features are identical to existing SFX9 models. The new 5-inch SFX9 MSRP is $2,995, and it will make a great choice for anyone who wants a traditional 1911 sight radius and the speed of a longer barrel. This version features a 5″ bushing barrel top end mated to our new SF (Solid Frame), lightweight, full-size aluminum grip frame design. It has a 15-round flush or an 18-rd extended magazine capacity. The SFX9 frame is made from solid T6-7075 aluminum. It is rugged and comfortable and has a 5″ bushing barrel top-end. The SFX9 can be ordered with a variety of trigger, finish, and sight options. The ERS is designed to handle the varying power levels of 9mm ammo and maintains remarkable reliability in all conditions. The stainless steel slide wears the most advanced black DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) physical vapor deposition finish available with chromium and tungsten underlayers for long-lasting corrosion and abrasion resistance.The hand-fitted 5″ barrel is painstakingly tuned by our gunsmiths for flawless reliability with a wide variety of target and defensive ammunition. The SFX9, like the other EDC X9 models can be field stripped with no tools and can be disassembled with a single punch. Rugged, light, and easy to shoot-the 5″ SFX9 by Wilson Combat will redefine your range experience.For more info, please visit wilsoncombat.com.More 1911 Pistols For DefenseNEXT STEP: Download Your Free Storm Tactical Printable Target Pack62 Printable MOA Targets with DOT Drills – Rifle Range in YARDSThis impressive target pack from our friends at Storm Tactical contains62 printable targetsfor rifle and handgun range use.
