Wilson Combat CQB
Best compact carry pistol for discerning shooters in restrictive states.
This is a masterclass in downsizing a legendary platform without sacrificing the precision of a full-sized build. By shaving fractions of an inch off the slide and grip, it transforms a duty-grade powerhouse into a concealable carry companion. You trade a bit of sight radius for unmatched portability and hand-fitted reliability.
