Wilson Combat
America 250 Hand Engraved
Wilson Combat assigns serials USA250P001 through USA250P025 to the 25 pistols hand-engraved by Wayne D'Angelo. The all-domestic stainless full-size 1911 uses Ben Jennen American Desert Ironwood grips with sterling-silver medallions, a white-gold-bead front sight, glass-bead rounds and satin-polished flats. The maker documents a hand-fit match-grade barrel and bushing, fluted chamber, ambidextrous safety, one-piece magazine well, carry cuts and 40-LPI checkering at the rear of the slide. Orders close December 31, 2026; UPC and dealer allocation remain unpublished.
