Yes, the EDC X9 and the SFX9 use the same Magazines. Great Shooting. Best Regards
(casually shoots 100 yards with a pistol) "the weather is terrible today". I cant do that at 20 yards on a perfect day, great shooting
Alot changes when u got a Sight /Red dot on a handgun
Better start hitting the range every week!
@@chrisstyles266 exactly
He shoots more in 1 review than most people shoot their whole lives.
What really helped me get good at shooting was getting a 22lr semi auto handgun since I can shoot way more 22 than I can 9mm
It is unbelievable, isn't it? Looking forward to seeing your 1,000 round review!
I'm looking forward to doing it!
@@HonestOutlawReviews yea I'm sure that paycheck is unbelievable. 😂 Bul armory next? 😂 You know, the reasonably priced firearms.
@@mrarivv0007 um, I'm 90% sure he's already done at least 1-2 Bul Armory videos? Plus if you're looking for a budget 9mm 1911 style pistol, he highly reviewed the Girsan awhile back, and gave it high marks in his budget gun roundup.
Should I sell my C2 and buy this hmmm
@@jvz1448 Exactly what I did. Bought this exact one in black on black with an RMR. Price is crazy until you shoot one. I also find slightly more comfortable to carry than the C2 even though they are very close in size. I am now looking at dumping my sub compacts and adding a 3.25” without RMR for tough to conceal situations, shorts and t shirt, etc. C2 is awesome, this is just the next level up.
I struggle with spending that kind of money on one firearm. I'm grateful though than I can live vicariously through your channel.
Me too buddy. I have 4 kids. 3k is a little much for a handgun
Yeah to me that much on a handgun is crazy. Best semi auto rifle ever for $3k? Sure, I can see myself saving up for one. Handgun for $3k? Hell no.
Not me I m rich
I agree although I might make an exception for a shotgun (from Benelli, Browning, Beretta, or some other small Italian brand). Only because I’d use it a lot more than a handgun.
@@timmy101able Rich is loud, wealthy is quiet
As usual you nailed it, as build quality goes, I’ve always seen the Wilson guns as the Cadillac of US made guns, still leaving room for the Roll’s and Benz and everything in between.
The fit and finish of any gun is my gauge, then watching Chris drive nails from 50 & 100 yards out seal’s the deal.
Still waiting for Mrs Outlaw to shoot it as I’ve come to respect her opinion. Being an old fart, if she can handle the recoil, so can I 😃 I can still handle my 1911’s but they hurt 😞 the next day.
Who am I fooling, my Beretta 92 hurts too!
Guess it’s just meant for me to live vicariously through straight forward channels like this one. Thanks for your great content!
Cadillacs suck.
@@SnapD24 they breathe fire if you pay enough for them. I meant it as a metaphor sense everybody’s stuck on branding these days.
@@ronmccants8678 I know. My apologies. Thinking about working on them triggered me.
Maybe using 1960s/70s car analogy, Wilson Combat is like a Carroll Shelby Mustang. Cadillacs were never performance cars until about 10 yrs ago.
@@SnapD24 No worries, I turned my share of wrenches back in the day (retired 10 years ago) don’t feel bad, they weren’t designed to be worked on. Ever heard the term planned obsolescence?
They’re like TV’s and appliances, after 10 or 15 years and 250K miles they ain’t worth the headache’s! I totally understand.
Wilson Combat products and service are absolutely stellar. 👍🏻
I acquired the same model & color scheme last month but no rds. The magazines do fit through EDCX9 and the AR9X. Thank you for shooting so well at 74 yards and beyond, that's out of my league.
Thanks for the review - I have been struck by how easily you hit those shots at 100 yards with multiple pistols through multiple videos...
Can you make a comparison video of the Wilson EDCX9, SFX9, and a staccato. I was curious about the triggers and accuracy.
This 👆🏼
Add the Experior to that list.
The C2 specifically
Aye.
I want to be curious about trigger and accuracy I’d be curious about how it fits the hand …. All those guns can shoot more accurate than any human . Regardless of their triggers…
The optics system Wilson uses is one of the best on the market
Chris again you prove why your a excellent reviewer and not a gun fanboy great job
Wilson Combat pistols will always top 99% of all handguns no matter who makes them, even Staccato.
It looks like a great carry/duty with a 4" barrel gun, but there are too many highly reliable alternatives that are half its price. I don't think I could justify replacing my $1,200 p226 legion with this gun, with money not even being part of the consideration. Other than failed primers, I've not had a malfunction in over 2500 rounds. I'm not into competition and I think my Shadow 2 and souped up Tanfo Stock III fit my needs for accuracy at half the price. That said, I can't hit out past 25 yards on a regular basis with these 60-year-old eyes. Chris is an amazing shooter.
As usual, AMAZING review. Can't stress enough how much I respect your opinion and how guns you pick apart fall right off my potential purchases! I can't wait for the 1000 round review! If that comes in without any negatives, I might just have to pick one of these beauties up!
What a sweet looking firearm! Wow. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd love to see a comparison vid between the Dan Wesson ECP and similar offerings from Wilson, Ed Brown, etc. that cost twice as much. Throwing in similar offerings from Springfield and Kimber that are in the same price range would add value as well.
You can go ahead and rule out kimber...
I like this guys reviews but he always makes me want firearms I can't afford.
love this gun, tried it out and almost bought it until I tried the Nighthawk Councileor 3.5" in 9mm.... with the same sight mind you, and I definitely think the NHC was the superior firearm... and significantly more expensive.
My next Wilson Combat, I currently have 3 W.C. can’t wait to get this. Thanks for the review
Sweet a gun I'll never be able to afford, God bless
I don't think the cops would give this gun back to you after a self defense shooting. "Sorry, we can't find it".
No one better than the honest outlaw....appreciate all his content
I must admit Chris, when I bought this gun (no rail) I thought I spent way to much $$ $2,600 out the door. Had it for five months, over 600 rounds thru it and not 1 glitch. Not 1. I purchased a Wilson combat leather OWB holster and will carry this beutie as soon as I put another few hundred rounds thru it. This and my Langdon Edition 92G are my 2 favorite guns. Stay safe.
Did you put a red dot on it? If not, did you have any issues shooting low like a lot of people do? Would you recommend night sights or the fiber optic site?
I really am interested in this gun, but damn it's expensive.
Buy once cry once
I'd love to own that one but the cost is putting it on hold for now.
Picked up this pistol but the black series with the carry “melt” dehorn. Fantastic gun
Don't luv many handguns, like a lot, but Love that one and the Atlas
Great video today guys! I just recently acquired a 4 1/4 Experior with a dot and absolutely love it! For the size to offer 18 +1 is pretty incredible, along with all of the other great features. Keep up the great work.
Stay frosty,
Rick
Oh no, a gun on the street! Wilson Combat has really made something of themselves. A great American success story if there ever was one!
Enjoy your input on this fine handgun . You rock 👍
Glad you did a video on this! Just put a Wilson Combat EDCX9 on layaway. Essentially the same gun.
Been carrying one daily for the last year and a half. You made a great choice!
@@TheLegoJoker thanks man! It was tough putting up that much money but I totally get the concept of reliability and getting what you pay for. Lol
Like how he calls balls and strikes and tells it like it is. Honest Outlaw! 👍🏿
Awesome! Thanks Outlaw! Can't afford one, but I like it. Can't believe you were hitting steel at that distance!
Guy is unreal, shooting at 130 yards with a gun he is handling for the first time and hitting with ease!!
Great video, I will never buy a pistol like this but am grateful for you showing it is out there.
I think this would be up there as a unicorn or dream gun. Maybe if I work a ton of overtime I will be able to justify buying one. Great video.
I was about to order one with an RMR and threaded barrel at around 4300$ but saw the 4" on BDU for 2600$ delivered w/o optic cuts. I am considering going with a stacatto as well to get a threaded barrel and RMR for around 1,000$ less than the wilson especially seeing how much you like yours. Unfortunately I also watched your CMMG Dissent video and the STI has to go on the backburner since I love the wilson and really like the concept of the the Dissent(Of course I have DD PDW and Omega 300 in jail right now). My Dan Wesson Valor has been dethroned. Definitely the finest handgun I have ever had the pleasure to own. The first day out my baby hands were not fond of the metal grips but it has been over a month and I absolutely love it. I wish I could've went with the custom coyote brown one I wanted but couldn't justify the extra 1700$ IMO with the cost of ammo these days
Just ordered this set up. Really like how many different options I had for customization compared to my staccato P. Now we wait 6-8 months
Wow, nice. Why do I watch your channel only to try to figure out how I can afford these guns.Gonna have to sell my beanie baby collection.
No atrocious grip safety, I love it!
See it also has a full-length guide rod. I will get one someday and get it Mag-Na-Port treated to shoot even flatter. Great review as usual.
I come back to watch this video just to drool over it every now and then man what I would do for this
I have owned the AFX frame and traded it for another edc x9. Much prefer the grip on the x9
Thanks for your vids!
Greets from Holland.
I am a fan of WC
I'll agree it is a very sharp looking gun, but I like the look of the Staccato C2 somewhat more. That being said, I'd like to own both.
thanks
Please do a comparison with the SFX9 and the EDC X9
I just have trouble rationalizing a $2,800 EDC gun. I could shoot a $1,200 gun just as well and not risk having it stolen or God forbid tied up in police custody.
I would like the 5 inch as a range gun though.
I was like damn that gun looks small but I forget you are a big guy
Love that X-TAC. I am looking at there X-TAC Supergrade 1911 in 45
At 6:00 said fiber optic front sight with black out rear sight is probably the best, but at 6:23 said if will keep probably (keep red dot) and switch red front sight to black out. The reason I bring this up is consider getting optics cut on next 9mm. One issue is the Chicago suburbs ranges limit pistol shooting to 25yards.
I bought a Atlas Athena from Manning & Sons. I made sure to mention your name
Hard to tell sometimes if a gun sucks as clearly you've worked extremely hard and can easily hit targets at ranges I personally once in a blue moon in perfect conditions can hit. It is fun to watch an experienced and passionate shooter make shots, I'm starting to watch not just what you say about a gun but do a lot of pausing to see how you grip, raise the gun, even breath timing. Sincerely appreciate you and a few other of my go to reviewers talk about pros, cons, etc. Been a great year for me and my gun safe, blessed to have dodged a bit of the COVID disruptions and got 7 great guns in the high 800-1200 range, decked out a few with new optics, swapped sights etc. and loaded up on ammo. Good timing, there have been some great stuff come out past couple of years. Long thank you, but definitely impact my purchasing decisions.
well many of the high-end guns are hand fitted, then bench rest tested/proof, and are guaranteed to shoot a certain sized grouping at certain distances before shipping out to customers..... so if you buy one of those and aren't achieving those groupings, it's pretty safe to say it's not the gun's fault 😂
How about we take the time to appreciate his shooting at 130 yards.Thats including cold weather. Amazing shooting.
With a 4 inch barrel!
“Awesome guns I can’t really afford”.
I felt that.
Hard to beat a Wilson of any kind!
Give Pyramex insulated gloves a try for cold days. They always do me justice.
Beautiful wilson. Green fiber and its perfect.
Love all your content, can't wait for more!
$2,600!, like u said if it’s not flawless out the box ima be disappointed. Maybe one day but until then I’ll stick with my Glocks and S&W’s & spend the $2,000 left on ammo. Absolutely beautiful gun though, maybe I’ll hit in the lottery then I’ll buy one lol
You can't compare Glocks the triggers on Glocks suck
@@jackomalley3687 I’m not comparing obviously if a WC @ $2,600-$2,800 has a 3.5lb trigger & costs $2,100 more than my Glock everything about it should be better. However with all the after market items u can buy for Glocks I’m sure I could find a really nice 3.5lb trigger & still not have even close to the amount spent on a WC & buy a shit ton of premium ammo a holster & spare mags to boot.
@@ECTT1776 you can buy a Walther PDP with an overwatch precision trigger and have a very accurate gun.
@@jackomalley3687 I had a Walter PK380 I liked it pretty decently so I might look into that. Assuming I can ever afford a gun again with gas prices going up more & more lol 👍
@@ECTT1776 the only Walther that has a good trigger is the PPQ or pdp
The recoil impulse on her looks smooth.
"Cheap ammo in nice guns"........ I couldn't agree more. Now I just have to afford the nice gun, lol. Great shooting as usual, especially in the cold weather. After leaving the cold weather years ago, It would look like I was shooting on a pogo stick, I'd be shivering so much.
Well done brother. 👍
Absolutely a wet dream gun to have because of the price tag.
For that much I can get a Glock 19 and a Benelli M4 , military grade shot gun and still have enough $ ammo for BOTH.
Benelli M4- $1,300
Glock 19 - $500
Still would love to have one.
Holy forking shirtballs. I’m looking at buying one of these. Glad I found this review. 130 yards ding ding ding. Amazing
Cold or not, you’re one hell of a shot bro. Thanks for the review! 😎👍
always great reviews Honest! love your format and way of shooting. there are many great youtube gun reviewers, but i d say no.1? videos are not too long or too short. just right. from South Africa.
I saw this gun at my LGS. Now that I cashed out some securities for a high 4 digit profit I am going check to see if they still have it.
2,800 does not seem like a lot of money when you consider that my Colt Series 80, that I have owned for more then 25 years was 2,000 to have worked into the gun it is now. That is not counting the cost of the gun itself. Back then you couldn't really buy many 1911's off the shelf that were very good. 25 plus years ago, you buy the gun then send it in to make it 100% reliable. Compared to my Glock, that was issued to me from my department, it is a lot of money. The agency I work for buys Glocks by the thousands, and they pay about 250 each for them in that quantity. I love my 1911, but my Glock is with me nearly 24/7. I tell people that a 1911 is like a classic car, it's the gun you show your friends. The Glock is like a Toyota Camry, it works 100% and you don't worry about what happens to it.
@TH-cam Legend I can only speak for myself and my experience, what would you expect? I'm not experiencing life through someone else's eyes. Ego? Doesn't every guy have some kind of ego? Does that make you sad? 🤔
@TH-cam Legend are u ok?
Looking foward to the 1000 round review.
We need a sfx9 vs edcx9 vs c2 comparison
Can we crowd source a trigger job for the poor Taurus? 😂 Would be an interesting followup video
Great video! Quick question, when it comes to accuracy, can this beat a CZ Shadow 2, Staccato P or CZ TSO?
Staccato, that’s a close call
That’s cool and all but when will we finally get the Wilson combat hi-point?
My fav CC pistol is a Beretta 92x compact but I wouldn’t call $760 cheap exactly.
Hi Chris, loyal followers of your channel. Question: I am considering getting g a Wilson combat SFX9 or SFT9. I love bul barrels like on My Stacatto C2. I am hearing some say the SFT9 with 4.25 bushing barrel has a softer recoil and better trigger. SFX9 TO SFT9 similar but different and I would like to know your honest opinion and if you had to choose one, which would it be. Some items to consider 4in to 4.25 in barrel, Bull vs Bushing, internal vs external extractor.etc... thanks. Mike P. From SC
Both my Staccato C2s will put 9mms on top of each other at 25 yards. 100 dings on steel no problem. Only wish they made it in 45 ACP.
I looked at their website and settled on a .40. Told the wifey and her jaw dropped. Then she dropped. I don't shoot often enough she said after she woke up. She's right.
To those that have one...congrats.
What’s your favorite WC double stack out of the three? @honestoutlaw
Like your gloves. Reminds me of Herman Munster
Waiting on this gun to ship. It'll be my new primary carry gun. As far as I can tell, it's the thinnest 1911 style, compact sized gun (at the grip) for the amount of rounds it holds. I'm curious about what else might be out there that compares. Maybe the Dan Wesson DWX if it ever goes into production.
One thing I wish people reviewing this or the EDC X9 would talk about is how its drop safety is compared to a standard 1911 with a grip safety on it. Can't find any info on it
For the sighting issues, you can always change out the front fiber optic to green like shadow systems. Speaking of which, if you're taking requests, can we get a cr920 or dr920p review when they come out?
Looking forward to the 1k review!
Great review! Thanks!
I really been thinking about this gun
Bullseye shooters? Are bettet cause they use only 1 hand? LOL. I was told Wilson trained with Jim Clark Sr. Clark Custom guns. Back in the day. I know they where good friends as well.
Have you come across a good appendix carry holster for this (SFX9 with optic) ... having a bit of a hard time sourcing one. Thanks !
Please publish the promised 1000 round review soon.
Yes so much this!!
Until a month ago i really wanted this gun but at the moment i cant justify this price for my edc so im just going to buy a custom made sig p320 axg for $1500. Ill come back to the sfx9 for $2895, in about a year.
One day, one day
Would love to see your review on the 3.25" barrel version
Ok Wilson combat vs staccato?
We are expecting 1000 round review!
Outlaw- "That's 130" (yards). -When you are against the stadium wall and want to hit the opposite end zone.
Nice review , Thank you
130 yards? No problem for me.
Smooth Pitching Wedge.
Here I am trying to save for a staccato C2 and you have to show something just as enticing
I had my LGS order me the 4" model.
Dammit, need to hit the lotto. Can't stress that enough. I have to have these guns. My list keeps getting longer and I don't think the money will ever be there 😂
That is a sexy looking gun.
I just put my order in for this without the true zero optics. Cant wait
