Interestingly, people wouldn’t hesitate to pay two grand for a Wilson Combat 1911.

Met a successful businessman years ago who carried a Wilson Combat "Tactical Super-grade Compact" (for some reason that name stuck in my memory ;^). IIRC, they were selling for over five grand, and there was a waiting list to get one.

An excellent 1911, like the Wilson, are something that will last for generations. Well worth the price.

But then I am a bit of a 1911 wonk

Not this people.

Almost all of my magazines are Wilson - the Kimber mags are trash and I've had uneven luck with GI mags, Colt, Tripp, and McCormick.
I have never had a Wilson mag give a problem in any of my 3 Kimber 1911s.

All that having been said, $2K is a little out there (IMHO) for a 1911 when my sub-$1K pistols operate flawlessly.
