Wilson Combat Super Grade Accu-Comp

[pbcaster45]

I can't believe I got this thing! It's a .38 Super, haven't had a chance to try it out yet.  Old school, single stack Open Gun.



My test load for when it gets warmer.  I don't know if the loads I use in my STI Trubor are suitable, I'll have to work up again.

Bullet: Hornady 147 gr. XTP-HP
Powder: VihtaVuori N-105 7.9 grs.
Primer: Federal 205 Small Rifle
Case: Starline .38 Super +P
LOAL: 1.260 (.999 with Stoney Point)
Recoil Spring: 8 lbs. with Wilson Shok Buff

That is Super nice! And from a master builder. Wish it was here.....

Bill Wilson was the man when it came to those IPSC guns. And he ran one quite well himself.

Had him build a 45ACP Accu-Comp LE on a pre Series 70 commercial Colt in the mid 80s... Made fine little gun.
