Wilson,
I am a Wilson Pistol aficionad, having over 15 pieces, models I shoot and others I don’t and those are on display in my study. I think the pistol is a great addition to your line. it’s a piece that consumers can purchase at a lower cost and move on into the Big Boy models.
I feel a great name wood be ” The Wilson POLY”
I have been shooting one for some time now
LOVE the gun, so does everyone who has shot it

Elite Polymer Special 9
I was quite fortunate to have been invited to go hunt with Bill Wilson over the weekend and got to shoot this new pistol
it was (as expected) VERY nice and 100% reliable
suffice it to say, it’s on my wish list!!
I foresee two good things coming from this pistol. One is that it’s a 1911 platform in 9mm. There is a real need in the 1911 market for a reliable pistol chambered in 9mm. Number two is that it’s made by Wilson Combat; need I say more.
How about “WCP9?”
I submitted a real name, but my gut instinct wants to call it the “Wilson Combat And You Thought ParaUSA magazines were expensive combat pistol”. I mean seriously, a potential AWB/highcap mag ban, and a gun with single source magazines? What could go wrong?
Good post!

Members at the Lightfighter and M4Carbine forums have gotten pretty snarky about possible names. Sorry ‘trip’, the name “The Ugly” has already been proposed.
I’m hesitant about submitting a good name…I’m afraid that I might actually win it.
I hope to god that’s a pre production prototype.
Do you think “The Ugly Gun” would automatically be ruled out?
