George Wilson's Match .45 Autopistol
This video explores the unique George Wilson Match .45 Autopistol, a custom competition firearm designed by George A. Wilson, a High Standard designer and bullseye shooter. Frustrated with the 1911's suitability for formal bullseye shooting, Wilson developed this pistol in 1961. It features an innovative design with reciprocating parts at the front to allow a high grip, minimizing muzzle flip. The pistol employs a pivoting wedge lock system similar to a Walther P38, boasts a long sight radius, excellent sights, and a competition-grade trigger. The craftsmanship is described as exceptional, a true work of art. Only three of these rare competition pistols were ever made, and the video provides an in-depth examination, disassembly, and firing of one.
