Veteran Wilson Combat Pistolsmith Honored

   05.26.11

Jim Wilson, a 25 year veteran of Wilson Combat, was honored today in Berryville, Arkansas. His years of service were recognized and rewarded with a Custom Supergrade 1911 that was presented to him by Vice President Ryan Wilson.

Ryan also had a few words to share about Jim’s anniversary with the company.

Back in 1986, Jim Wilson began his career here at Wilson Combat. It was a much smaller company and a much younger Henry back then. Over the past 25 years he has become a master Pistolsmith, his immense knowledge of the 1911 is shared by only a handful of people throughout the world and we are honored to work with him. He has been a pivotal part of the evolution of our handguns over the years and has helped make them what they are today. In recognition of Henry’s 25 years of dedication, we would like to present him with a one of a kind Supergrade that he unknowingly had a hand spec’ing out and building. All of us at Wilson Combat would like to thank Henry for everything he has contributed over the years and look forward to many more years together.
