PERFECT FIT RIA 2011
I purchased this for my RIA Tac Ultra 9mm FS 2011. The fitment is AWESOME!! Required zero modification what so ever. I hope this helps someone...I went in blind. Couldn’t find any RIA 2011 specific reviews on this.
Haven’t shot it yet but the fit and finish look excellent. As a Wilson combat component should be. Buy with confidence if you’ve got the Rock Island Tac Ultra 9mm 2011.
Cheers

Minor Blemish
The Bushing Compensator did need to be fitted, I figured as much from all the research that I did. I put it on a Dan Wesson Pointman Major .45 about 1 hour to fit it. Looks great on the gun. I went with the stainless steel. My D.Wesson is blued with SS acsents . I would have given a higher rating but the compensator had black marks on both flat sides. I had to polish it , took 20 more minutes but the marks did come out.I expected a little better Quality control from Wilson Combat. No fault of Optic Planet. Have not tried it out yet but will soon.
Pros:
- Looks great
- easy to install, exactly as advertised
Cons:
- Minor Blems
- Finish could be better
Would recommend: Yes
Not for a Sig 1911
This item, I am sure, is great for most 1911s. However, this will not fit a SIG 1911 XR Full. The bushing is too thick to fit between the barrel and the slide.
Would recommend: No
Does not fit
The bushing of this brake is too thick to fit between the slide and the barrel of a SIG 1911 XR. This is the only reason I returned this item. It is very disappointing I didn't even get to try it.
Would recommend: No
kimber custom II
took a few hours of sanding and buffing but fit is good once done.
Would recommend: Yes
Paperweight
I have 5 1911 government pistols. This bushing comp is so oversized, there is no chance of it fitting with " minor" fitment. I would have to have it machined, then refinished costing me triple or more the cost I anticipated. The diameter is so large, I would assume that it snuck by quality control (if wilson has such a thing) and made it to my mailbox for $80. Second time I've been less than impressed by Wilson. Never again.
Best Used for:
- Paperweight
Would recommend: No
Doesn't fit kimber, colt, or Dan Wesson
Doesn't fit any of the 4 government 1911s I own. It's diameter is far too big for "minor fitting." It would need to be remachined and refinished making it a giant waste if money. 2nd time I've gotten garbage wilson combat products. Never again.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- PAPER WEIGHT
Would recommend: No
Wilson Combat Bushing Compensator
It was a very snug fit as you would expect. I haven’t had a chance to take it to the range yet to see if it indeed reduces muzzle flip. Even a little would be nice. It appears to be a well machined product and from the research I did of other cheaper brands,the placement of the porting of the Wilson Combat model would be the most effective and the primary reason I chose it.
Pros:
- Fit and finish. Ease of installation.
Cons:
- A little pricey
Best Used for:
- Reduction of muzzle rise
Would recommend: Yes
You might want to pre-measure
While I realize that the tolerance across all makes of 1911 are different the install might require modification of the slide or the compensator or both. I wasn't willing to do that for simple cosmetics. I was way disappointed. This isn't truly a "drop in" product.
Pros:
- Looks real cool
Cons:
- The box is where it looked cool from.
Best Used for:
- In my case, nothing.
Would recommend: No
Fits on a Kimber and does its job
Put this on a Kimber. A bit tight but not too tight. Put it on your slide a twist it to check for fit before assembling the first time, but outside of that, it does it’s job. There is a video on Wilson’s website showing it being put together and they do it wit the spring in place before putting the slide back on the frame and that is a good choice.
Would recommend: Yes
