No restrictions are placed on the time, effort and expertise expended in the creation of our ultimate pistol— the Classic Super Grade. Only our most experienced veteran pistolsmiths apply their skilled trade to build a Super Grade and this select group brings over 32 years of pistolsmithing experience to the Super Grade workbench.
No matter how skilled the craftsman, he can only build a superior product if supplied with superior components, therefore Super Grades utilize only Wilson Combat’s precision engineered and manufactured slide and frame—frames and slides that are hand selected by the Master Pistolsmiths to insure their fit will be the best possible. This allows us to maintain the utmost in close tolerances to achieve the perfection that is the Super Grade.
To the foundation of the select slide and frame, we add one of our stainless steel match grade barrels and a handfitted bushing. Our fully machined Lo-Mount Adjustable rear sight and front post are added to the slide for a precise sight picture. The rear of the slide is checkered to eliminate glare and improve aesthetics. Other parts such as our ambidextrous safety, ultralight hammer, high-ride beavertail, and magazine well chute are fitted perfectly and blended as required for both cosmetic and functional purposes.
Our Bullet Proof® extractor, extended ejector, throating and polishing on the barrel throat and feed ramp, and the lowering and flaring of the ejection port all combine to insure complete reliability. Powered by our heavy-duty recoil spring riding on a full-length guide rod, the Classic Super Grade will provide a lifetime of service. The durable Armor-Tuff® coating on the slide and the Stainless Steel finish on the frame are perfect complements to the fine 30 LPI checkering on the frontstrap and flat mainspring housing. At home, in competition or when carried for defensive purposes, the Super Grade is beautiful to the eye and a continuing joy to shoot.
Less than 30 Super Grades including all variations are hand built each month, making the Super Grade an instant collector’s piece.
The Super Grade is the 1911 which all others—from any source—are compared. Simply the BEST of the BEST !!! Extras include six of our Legendary #47D eight-round magazines and a spare fitted and checkered extractor.
