A New Chapter in Custom Firearms: Wilson Combat's Division 77

In a significant move that pays homage to its founding year,  Wilson Combat has unveiled Division 77, a new series dedicated to pushing the boundaries of custom firearm innovation. Their inaugural release, the Project 1, reimagines their acclaimed EDC X9 platform with groundbreaking performance enhancements.

At the heart of this limited-edition masterpiece lies an ambitious achievement: a 42% reduction in felt recoil compared to its EDC X9 predecessor. This remarkable improvement isn't just marketing - it's documented through sophisticated Dynamic Recoil Analysis System (DRAS) testing, with the reduction primarily attributed to strategic porting in both slide and barrel.

The Project 1's distinctive stainless steel Tri-Top slide showcases precision craftsmanship with custom serration patterns front and rear. A fiber optic front sight provides rapid target acquisition, while the innovative optics mounting system offers unprecedented versatility. Users can seamlessly switch between RMR, RMSC, and DeltaPoint Pro optics using a clever pin-based mounting solution. The included cover plate features an integrated dovetail rear sight for those preferring traditional sighting methods.

Performance meets ergonomics in the carefully curated features: a flat trigger tuned to a crisp 3.5-4.5 pound pull weight, ambidextrous safety controls, and G10 TRAK Starburst grips. The TRAK treatment extends to both frontstrap and backstrap, ensuring positive control under any conditions. The aesthetics marry function with form - a black Armor-Tuff finish dominates, while select copper-colored PVD-finished components add distinctive accent points.

Measuring 8.7 inches in overall length and weighing 33.8 ounces, the Project 1 maintains excellent handling characteristics. Each pistol ships with three 18-round magazines and backs its premium positioning with a guaranteed 1-inch accuracy guarantee at 25 yards.

Available in two configurations, the Project 1 starts at $3,995 for the standard package. Enthusiasts can opt for the premium edition at $4,295, which includes a custom metal presentation case and commemorative challenge coin.

Through Division 77, Wilson Combat isn't just releasing another custom pistol - they're making a statement about the future of performance firearms while honoring their heritage of excellence.
