Wilson Combat has a whole new series of 1911-style handguns called the Division 77 Series, which the company created as a proving ground for advanced research and development. Paying homage the legacy of Bill Wilson's 1911 standards created in 1977 (hence the name), the first pistol to come out of Division 77 is named, aptly, Project 1.
Designed to redefine your shooting experience with unparalleled performance and precision, this fine-tuned pistol features a remarkable 42% reduction in perceived recoil (when compared to a more standard Wilson Combat pistol, such as the X9). Chambered in 9mm Luger, already known for being a relatively soft-shooting caliber, the Division 77 Project 1 promises minimal "kick."
One place this handgun really shines is in the way it handles optics. The innovative cover plate features a dovetail rear sight and an integrated firing pin stop, creating a movement-free iron sight platform. This ensures seamless transitions between optics and iron sights without the need to re-zero, maintaining zero even after removal and re-installation. Should you choose to use a reflex optic, the innovative pin system means you can seamlessly transition between RMR, RMSC, and DeltaPoint Pro footprints.
