But when you deviate from the original 1911 frame material, barrel length, and caliber, and then completely redesign the grip dimensions and remove the grip safety, what you end up with is not simply another 1911. It\u2019s more like what would happen if you gave John Moses Browning some 21st century manufacturing equipment and asked him to build a Glock 19.<\/p> <p>You can watch the full review video below, or scroll down for the blogified version of the transcript.<\/p> <div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><\/p> <noscript class=\"idle-load\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"> <div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"> <div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_s3nji1w7j5 dnt=1 videoFoam=true\" style=\"height:100%;position:relative;width:100%\"> <div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0;transition:opacity 200ms;width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/s3nji1w7j5\/swatch\" style=\"filter:blur(5px);height:100%;object-fit:contain;width:100%;\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" onload=\"this.parentNode.style.opacity=1;\" \/><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/noscript> <\/div> <h3><strong>Is it any good?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Even though I like 1911s, it\u2019s been quite a while since I spent any serious time shooting one. So, I think the EDC X9 is pretty good, but that probably doesn\u2019t mean a whole lot coming from me. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to take my word for it. I was able to try out the EDC X9 a few weeks ago when I met up with John Johnston for a day at the range. John is the host of <a href=\"http:\/\/ballisticradio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ballistic Radio<\/a> and Wilson Combat happens to be one of his sponsors. John has been evaluating a pre-production sample of this pistol for the last few months and had some insights to share:<\/p> <p>\u201cAs far as performance goes, the main thing I\u2019m seeing out of the EDC X9 is that I am able to shoot it as if it were a much larger gun. By getting rid of the grip safety, what it allows you to do is get higher on the gun so that you can shoot it better. It\u2019s more controllable and it\u2019s, in general, more pleasant to work with, especially at speed.<\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_6198\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6198\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting.jpg\" alt=\"John Johnston and the EDC X9\" width=\"1200\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting-600x326.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/jjrg-shooting-350x190.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6198\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Johnston of Ballistic Radio firing the EDC X9<\/figcaption><\/figure> <p>&#8220;If you\u2019re looking for a gun that fits inside of this package, you\u2019re looking at stuff like a Glock 19 or a Sig P320 or somewhere in that range. The Wilson EDC X9 fits into that G19 size package and performs better, period. And to get a G19 or a 320 that works as well as this does, you have to work on it. You will start adding parts like a match-grade barrel that\u2019s professionally fit to get the inch and a half at 25-yard accuracy guarantee that this thing comes with. To get the recoil characteristics, you\u2019re starting to add comps. To get the grip ergonomics you\u2019re stippling the gun and you\u2019re recontouring it and reprofiling it. That starts to cost money. You see people running around with 2 and 3 thousand dollar Glocks and this comes with all the function of those right out of the box.\u201d<\/p> <p>For what it\u2019s worth, I tend to agree with John on those points. The recoil is much milder than you expect with a gun of this size and weight and when you combine that with a light and crisp 1911-style trigger, it\u2019s easy to run this gun faster than other compact 9mms.<\/p> <h3><strong>How big is it?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>The comparison to the Glock 19 is no exaggeration. It\u2019s tough to appreciate just how compact the EDC X9 is until you handle it in person. Fully loaded with 16 rounds, it\u2019s only 5 ounces heavier than the Glock, and roughly the same size in all dimensions. Compared to a 9mm lightweight Commander 1911, the EDC X9 is smaller, and still has 6 more rounds of ammo on board, and far superior ergonomics.<\/p> <table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\"

Browning design. \u201cThe grip reminds me a lot of a Browning Hi-Power grip. It\u2019s very ergonomic, it fits really well in the hand. It\u2019s got the best parts of the 1911 as far as the sliding trigger, a really well designed manual safety inside of a very small package as far as a grip that\u2019s really easy to conceal. It\u2019s kind of like a Hi-Power that\u2019s had the stuff that makes Hi-Powers not fun taken off of it.\u201d<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-edc-x9-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Because of the double stack magazine, the grip has to be wider than the original 1911 design, but only slightly, thanks to the slim screwless grip panels. The grip is also shorter from front to back because it\u2019s designed around the 9mm, which is a shorter cartridge than the 45. So even with a 15-round magazine, the overall grip circumference of the XDC X9 is actually smaller than the 1911\u2019s. That means the trigger reach is a little shorter and the pistol will probably fit better in the average person\u2019s hand.<\/p> <p>The slide and the portion of the frame that&#8217;s forward of the grip are close enough in size and shape to 4 and 4.25-inch 1911 pistols that most holsters designed for those guns will fit the EDC X9. The new pistol also shares parts compatibility with several traditional 1911 parts, including wear parts that must be periodically replaced like the recoil spring.<\/p><p><\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_6199\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6199\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip.jpg\" alt=\"EDC X9 grip\" width=\"1200\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip-600x383.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip-1024x654.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-grip-350x223.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6199\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The EDC X9 has no grip safety, and the slim screwless grip panels are held in place by the interchangeable backstrap.<\/figcaption><\/figure> <h3><strong>Is it reliable?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Keeping in mind this is only a sample size of one, the EDC X9 John has been testing has been problem-free. \u201cOnce we\u2019re done today, I\u2019ll have about 3000 rounds through it. So far, it has been extremely reliable. Actually, it&#8217;s been reliable with ammo that won\u2019t work in other guns &#8212; like Glocks that I have &#8212; where the round is loaded weird or it\u2019s too light of a load, this thing will feed fine. But it also works really well with standard carry loads like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/9mm-p-124-grain-jhp-speer-gold-dot-20-rounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">124 grain +P Gold Dot<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/9mm-147-grain-jhp-hst-federal-premium-le-50-rounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal HST<\/a>. It\u2019s been reliable with a wide spectrum of bullet weights, velocities, and profiles. I\u2019ve been really impressed so far.\u201d<\/p> <p>As of this week, John says he\u2019s got about 4500 rounds through the gun, still with no malfunctions to speak of. Traditional 9mm 1911s have a reputation for being picky and high maintenance, but Wilson seems to have eliminated a lot of those issues by designing the EDC X9 from the ground up to reliably feed the 9mm cartridge.<\/p> <h3><strong>Is it accurate?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Like John mentioned earlier, the EDC X9 comes with a 1.5-inch accuracy guarantee at 25 yards. That\u2019s using a Ransom machine rest, but we wanted to see what we could do with a normal bench rest and some sandbags. We fired a few 5-round groups that were about 2.5 inches, but three of the five rounds would be within an inch or an inch and a half. That usually means the two fliers are human error, so I have no doubt the gun is capable of shooting 1.5-inch groups.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson Combat EDC X9\" width=\"1262\" height=\"1064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel.jpg 1262w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel-534x450.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel-1024x863.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel-768x648.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/EDC-X9-barrel-350x295.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1262px) 100vw, 1262px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>From a more practical standpoint, having a good 1911-style single-action trigger certainly helps when you need to take a shot at longer distance. The front sight is a little wider than either John or I prefer, and I think that makes it tough to get a clean sight picture on smaller targets, but that really comes down to personal preference. It\u2019s not any wider than the stock front sight on most compact handguns.<\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pistol we used was equipped with a red fiber optic front sight and an adjustable u-notch &#8220;Tactical Battlesight&#8221; rear sight. Every EDC X9 is made to order, so if you don\u2019t prefer those sights, you can get a green fiber optic, or you can choose a tritium or gold bead sight. Wilson also gives you the option to choose from two different size backstraps, three different trigger lengths, a variety of finish options, and you can get it with or without an ambidextrous safety or a light rail.<\/span><\/p> <h3><strong>How much does it cost?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>The base price is $2895, but some of the previously mentioned sight options add a couple of dollars to the cost.<\/p> <h3><strong>Why do I need a $2900 pistol?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>To be completely honest, I kind of hate this question. But it always comes up any time we talk about a gun with a four-digit price tag. So\u2026 I\u2019m just gonna let John answer this time.<\/p> <p>\u201cWhy does somebody need a $2900 pistol? You don\u2019t. Period. You really don\u2019t need much more than a&#8230; Ruger P89. That\u2019ll work fine most of the time. It launches the same bullets. If we were only going on need, we\u2019d all be driving around in Kias. $10,000 Kias that are not fun to drive, are not comfortable to drive, but they get us from point A to point B. So when people start talking about, \u2018Well I could buy five Glocks for the cost of this.\u2019 Well, yeah, the guy who buys the Corvette could buy seven Kias. He\u2019s not going to drive the other six at the same time and it\u2019s not going to perform the same way the Corvette does. So if it makes you happy and you can afford it, then do it. If you can\u2019t afford it, or it doesn\u2019t make you happy, then don\u2019t do it. It\u2019s really that easy.\u201d<\/p> <p>For more details on the EDC X9, head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilsoncombat.com\/edc-x9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wilson Combat&#8217;s site<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Wilson Combat EDC X9 is an alloy-framed compact double stack 9mm that\u2019s based on the 1911.
