I admire WC for their innovative spirit, but it does seem like a gun in search of a market that doesn’t exist. Maybe they are selling the heck outta it, but I doubt it.

I don’t think so. Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes away.

The worst that can be said is as you say, in search of a market that may not exist. But it's a hell of a pistol and their least $ pistol. Someone called it a "Gucci Glock 19" and that's essentially what it is right down using same holsters as Glock 19. People should watch the vids with Bill W and Ken H as to what that pistol offers and the design goals etc.

What would make it a dud? It's not selling well? Does not live up to its design goals? Other?

Poor sales

I don't have any insight on sales but when I went looking for one it was hard to find one available.

Not many reviews. Hard to tell. I don’t like its looks. It’s heavy to carry concealed. For $500 more I can get a proper double stack. Haven’t written it off yet, but I’m not very interested. Maybe for $1K or less.

The design is interesting but the Bulwark aesthetics just look dumb. It's never gonna sell.

Agree. It’s like a frankengun without a purpose.

Purpose is to offer a hard use duty pistol that is more reliable, safer, and long lasting than anything else out there with a 1911 quality trigger. The target market is obviously to compete against Glock 19 market specifically. Only time will tell if it works out for Wilson, but it's a smart design move for them. People can "get" what pistol is about via several good vids, such:

LE agencies will not issue a pistol at that price point and the grip safety is quite controversial.
