The Habu build utilizes a Ruger® MK IV™ standard aluminum frame that has been retrofitted with the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit providing a crisp, clean 2.25 lb. trigger pull. The frame is outfitted with Volquartsen’s Volthane grip, designed to give the shooter more control. This unique grip design features an aggressive no-slip diamond checkering.

GET ON TARGET FASTER

Typically, you go to the range to practice in broad daylight. Great, but what happens when you need to defend yourself or those around you in less than ideal conditions? Tiger McKee, Director of Shootrite Firearms Academy wrote the following in The Tactical Wire, “Based on data from previous attacks we know that it’s likely to occur during hours of the day associated with adverse light, and — if you’re forced to fire — you’ll likely fire about three to four shots.” (The TacticalWire.com 3.25.20) Meprolight recommends you upgrade the sights on your handgun with tritium enhanced day/night sights. The best way is to see for yourself. Go to your local gun dealer and following all of the gun safety rules, look down the sights of a handgun with standard sights in low-light conditions. Then do the same with a handgun that has upgraded day/night sights. See how much more visible and faster you can put the tritium illuminated sights on the target. Introduced at the 2020 SHOT Show, Meprolight’s High Visibility Pistol Sights (MEPRO HVS) are 30% brighter than any other pistol sight on the market and come with an extremely bright contrasting color ring on the front sight that are available in three colors (Orange, Green or Yellow). The color combinations help the shooter focus on the front sight quicker which is critical for self defense or competitive shooting. Available for Glock, Sig, and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield.

Berryville, Arkansas —Introducing The Wilson Combat-SIG SAUER WCP320 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Wilson Combat and SIG SAUER are pleased to announce the availability of a Wilson Combat enhanced P320 9mm semi-automatic pistol collaboration, the WCP320.

Wilson Combat gunsmiths and engineers have completely reworked a SIG SAUER P320 chassis and unfinished SIG manufactured slide into our ideal version of a high performance, perfected striker-fired pistol.

Using the all-new Wilson Combat SIG P320 grip module, our in-house re-machined slide and Wilson Combat performance battle sights, the Wilson Combat Optimized WCP320 will become the new standard in hard-use, striker-fired handguns. Our modifications have tailored and tuned the 320 platform for precision tactical pistol shooting.

This robust, fast handling pistol wears our Wilson Combat engineered polymer grip module. This newly designed and manufactured grip has enhanced traction, smoother reloading, improved pointablity and superb recoil control in dynamic shooting. This grip turns an already solid platform into an ergonomic shooting machine.

The slide has been machined with the Wilson Combat X-TAC pattern for improved manipulation under stress. The front and rear cocking serrations, as well as the slide top, wear this signature Wilson Combat pattern. The stainless steel slide and chromoly barrel wear the most advanced black DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) physical vapor deposition finish available. This finish has chromium and tungsten underlayers for long lasting corrosion and abrasion resistance.

The SIG SAUER flat-faced XFULL trigger is standard on the WCP320 and gives shooters a lower finger position on the trigger which increases leverage for a lighter, smoother trigger pull. The pull can be further enhanced by Wilson Combat gunsmiths with our optional action tune using Grayguns custom trigger parts.
