Wilson Combat 9mm – SENTINEL XL, VFI SIGNATURE, BLACK EDITION, NEW

All seasoned concealed carriers know one simple fact-the grip of any handgun is always the most difficult part to conceal. Wilson Combat has combined our 4” Compact top end with our exclusive Sentinel sub-compact frame to create a unique everyday carry custom handgun – the Sentinel XL. The Sentinel XL has the smallest 1911 grip available with the enhanced practical accuracy and reliability a Compact slide offers. The reduced height Sentinel frame is ½” shorter than our standard Compact and when mated with the ultra slim G-10 grips is well suited to shooters who prefer a smaller handgun. The concealment grip safety/hammer and round butt mainspring housing selected for the Sentinel XL gives you a real advantage when it comes to daily carry and shooting comfort. Even though the Sentinel XL is designed for concealment, the precisely fitted slide, frame and 4” match grade barrel will give you the downrange performance you expect from a Wilson Combat custom pistol. A host of practical and cosmetic touches will make this one of your favorite carry guns. – Wilson Combat

Many ask why they should invest in a Wilson Combat custom-built gun when they could buy a “cookie cutter” manufactured gun for less money.  First, when it comes to protecting your loved ones or yourself, only the best will do.  If the time ever comes that you need a handgun for defensive purposes don’t you want the best?  I think so.  Second, even practice and competitive shooting is more rewarding with a highly accurate and reliable gun.  And then there is the Wilson Combat “FOREVER WARRANTY” that guarantees your Wilson handgun will always be within factory specs.  Wilson Combat handguns hold their value and are highly desirable, making your purchase an asset that does not fade over time.  Thanks for looking!
