Why not just buy the wilson in the first place. From what i understand most people that buy kimbers (which are really nice guns) replace parts with wilson pieces anyway.

I have a Wilson and I have an XD. Both very nice, one's a Chevy and ones a Rolls The economy is bad but there are still going to be people who buy Rolex's. NOT EVERYONE WITH MONEY IS A CROOK!

It's a work of art. For you naysayers... A Wilson Combat is far superior to anything that Kimber could ever dream of making. What makes the price so high? Every pistol is a custom pistol. There is nothing standard on a Wilson. Each gun is handcrafted and there is no such thing as a production line at their facility. Accuracy? The 5" barrels are guaranteed 1" at 25 yards and the 4" barrels are guaranteed 1.5" at 25 yards. Quality. You pay for it. You can buy 3 Kimber Crimson Carries for the same price because Kimber can probably make more than 3 of them in the time it takes to handcraft 1 Wilson. Nothing against Kimber. My point is just that one is made by a production line and the other is handcrafted by a person. That is a beautiful 1911. It’s a work of art.

They are worth every penny. Far nicer than a Kimber. Maybe as accurate, but the fit and finish is the best in the business. I have had a Wilson in the past. They are worth every penny.

Maybe it's designed for all of these investment crooks who have stolen other peoples money or CEOs using the money we bailed their sorry asses out with!

WHAT MAKES THEM SO HIGH?

CANNOT BE $2000 DIFFERENCE IN A BILL WILSON AND A KIMBER, ESPECIALLY IN THIS ECONOMY.
