However, as the slide travels back, the barrel rotates, rather than tilts, to unlock from the slide.

Published: October 18, 2016 { 7 comments }I have had the opportunity to evaluate over a dozen guns from Wilson, and the quality, fit, and finish never disappoints. For many years, a Wilson Combat CQB was on my list of pistols to add to my daily rotation. I never got around to ordering one and at this time, and I’m glad I put it off. In my mind, there is a new king and that is the X-TAC Elite.
