I had them work over my CQB and I was very impressed with the quality of the work.  I recommend them and the SA Custom Shop!

If I may be so bold, what did you have them do to a CQB?

I had them build me a CQB in '06, and I will never sell it. I was (and still am) amazed by the quality of what they did. I think that you will be very pleased with the results.

I've had Wilson Combat work on both of my Les Baers, and a Kimber, and have been completely satisfied with the work they have done. Fast turnaround time too.

They made me a custom rear sight, cut the barrel flush with the bushing and recrowned, installed a Wilson Combat solid trigger w/trigger job and recoated the frame in Black Armor Tuff.

A few years ago I had Wilson checker the front of my trigger guard, etch my name in the frame, hand-fit some spare parts for me, install slim-line bushings (they were staked in, so it wasn't super-easy to do), bead blast the trigger (the trigger was armortuffed at the time), and then refinish.

They did some top-notch work.  The checkering was hand-done and looked beautiful.  The etching on the frame was equally gorgeous.
