1. Wilson Combat-Beretta Brigadier Tactical 92
The most outstanding feature of the Wilson Combat-Beretta Brigadier Tactical 92 is the renowned Vertec-grip frame conversion. This significantly reduces the size of the frame to the Beretta Vertec size, making it ideal for small-handed shooters or gun owners who prefer straighter 1911-style grips.
Besides the Vertec-size grip frame, this handgun also comes with indestructible Black Cherry G-10 grips, checkered backstrap, and a matte Black Armor Tuff frame finish. As far as optics go, this Wilson combat pistol features the Trijicon Tritium Dovetail Front Sight and Wilson Combat Rear U-Notch Battlesight.
Specs:

2. X-TAC Elite Carry Comp
Wilson Combat offers the new X-TAC Elite Carry Comp in 9mm and 45 ACP to suit all your shooting needs for the ultimate carry gun experience.
What’s more, its compensator design mitigates the muzzle flip associated with high-performance carry ammo while reducing the perceived recoil of your professional or compact-sized pistol to less than you’d expect with a full-size gun.
Thankfully, the compensator barrel has no joints or threads to loosen, making it even more pleasant to use. The best part is its short and efficient profile that fits in most if not all standard, full-size 1911 holsters.
Another catch is the pistol’s X-TAC tread pattern that is heralded for its rock-solid traction and comfort, especially during high round-count shooting.
