Wilson Combat has just launched the BULWARK, the company’s first internal hammer pistol.
Wilson Combat’s staple product has always been 1911-style handguns, which, naturally, featured traditional external hammers. Now, the company has made a great departure from its norm with the new BULWARK, a double-stack 9mm midsize pistol that utilizes an enclosed internal hammer-fired operating system.
Wilson Combat says the thought process behind the BULWARK’s internal hammer was to get the best of both worlds: the excellent trigger of hammer-fired pistols with the snag-free profile and protected action of striker-fired pistols. Speaking of triggers, the BULWARK features a 1911-style sliding trigger with a 3.75- to 4.25-pound pull. It also features four independent safety mechanisms, including a grip safety that blocks the sear and trigger until disengaged, a firing pin block safety and a trigger pad safety.
Other features of the BULWARK include its optics-ready slide (Wilson Combat Pin Technology system), black G10 grips, aggressive BRICK-pattern grip texture, a Battlesight rear sight/red fiber optic front sight, an accessory rail and front/rear slide serrations. Wilson Combat also says that the pistol is compatible with many Glock 19-pattern holsters.
The BULWARK’s 15-round magazine is unfortunately proprietary, and each spare will run you $55, but the pistol at least ships with two. An MSRP has not been published, but online retailers are currently listing them for $1,900.
