Project 1 exemplifies this mission, delivering unmatched speed, accuracy, and reliability through cutting-edge features:
- Innovative Optic Pin System: Seamlessly transition between RMR, RMSC, and DeltaPoint Pro footprints. Rear-mounted optics placement offers unobstructed chamber access for a hassle-free red-dot experience.
- Precision-Cut Ported Slide, Plus Integrated Compensated Barrel: A ported slide paired with an integrated compensator minimizes recoil, enabling faster target acquisition and greater control.
- Dynamic Recoil Analysis System (DRAS): Project 1’s performance was fine-tuned using 2,000 pressure data points, capturing every detail of the recoil cycle. DRAS testing ensures peak reliability and precision, setting a new standard in pistol design. Project 1 features 42% recoil reduction in comparison to our standard X9.
- Enhanced Ergonomics and Reload Features: Features integrated competition-flared magwell and precision-machined 18-round base pads for fast, confident reloads in high-stress scenarios.
- Innovative Cover Plate with Integrated Firing Pin Stop: The newly designed 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.
Project 1 represents the forefront of Wilson Combat’s innovation, blending groundbreaking technology with time-tested craftsmanship. This pistol is designed to redefine your shooting experience with unparalleled performance and precision.
To celebrate this launch, the first 100 Project 1 pistols will ship in a custom metal case with a commemorative challenge coin, making them instant collector’s items.
Project 1 is now available for order through select Wilson Combat dealers.
