For those interested in knowing who Larry Vickers is, here is a link. I knew I had read about him recently in one of my gun magazines. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m0B...le.jhtml?term=


TR and GH-
Thank you for the advice and personal time it took to type it. I have printed this out for future reference in my decision making process. Unfortunately, L.V.'s creations are out of my $$$ range, and I doubt he would take the time to make one for me (unless you can twist his arm TR ).

I see where Wilson is also making a KZ 45 compact model with a SS slide/barrel and polymer frame. Any feedback on this polymer frame model? It is slightly cheaper, guarantees the same 1.5" 25yrd accuracy, and holds 9+1 verses 7+1 as in the CQB compact. It is still only the normal 1 5/16" wide, same height and length. Two extra rounds and $600 cheaper...makes you think.

I am hesitant about the polymer frame (being a new design) but with the Wilson company its guaranteed for life the of the pistol. Does this pistol have any obvious drawbacks? I see it doesn't have the exact list of TR recommended items.
I like the look of this WKZC-A-S model.

I am still leaning towards the CQB compact since it seems to have a more parallel parts spec sheet with what you suggest TR.
Any other choices/preferences that would like to be shared? Your advice is appreciated. Or is it time for the jokes.....NDD, you still lurking? LOL
