Wilson Combat 9mm Named (I didn’t win)

The naming contest for Wilson Combat‘s polymer framed 1911-based 9mm pistol is over.  Douglas Ervin who submitted the winning name will now receive one as his prize.   The winning name: ‘The Spec Ops 9′.

Dang. I thought I had it in the bag.

Now that the contest is over, I can tell you my brilliant submission without fear of anybody stealing it for their own: The Wombat.  (Get it?  Wilson + cOMBAT = Wombat.  It’s a natural!)  Man, it’s a shame they couldn’t see the genius of it.  I would have really enjoyed shooting it.  At $2000 per Spec Ops, I probably won’t get the chance any time soon.
