Our Assessment
Wilson Combat has earned its place as one of the premier names in custom and semi custom 1911 pistols. The Sentinel reflects that reputation in a compact format, combining practical carry dimensions with the attention to detail expected from a top tier 1911 maker.
This pistol includes many desirable custom features, including front and rear checkering, sharp rear slide serrations, flat mainspring housing, extended beavertail grip safety, skeletonized hammer and trigger, and a carefully beveled magwell. The compact 3.5 inch barrel and 9mm chambering make it easier to control than many traditional short barreled 1911s, while the tight slide to frame fit and crisp trigger support accurate shooting.
In Excellent condition with its Wilson soft case, paperwork, quality sheet, and magazine, this Sentinel is a strong example of a premium compact 1911 suited to both collection and serious defensive use.
