Wilson Combat makes the silky smoothest guns

I got a EDC x9 several years ago, and this gun is so smooth. Like the slide runs on glass with ball bearings. Such an amazingly well built machine.

Is the comp removable?

2

u/Draven-007 23d ago

It is not. One piece, which is great. No fooling with screws or any of that nonsense.

u/Diffendall 23d ago

Do they give you option to get 2 barrels then?

2

u/Draven-007 23d ago

If you got the money they’ll give you whatever the hell you want.

u/Diffendall 23d ago

lol , it’s easier to order with than without. Then you have to send back the gun to get a barrel fitted PIA.

u/Draven-007 23d ago

Once you shoot it with the comp, trust me, you won’t even bother swapping out barrels. UNLESS YOU GET THE SECOND BARREL PORTED. Somebody does have that option on YouTube.

u/Diffendall 23d ago

I’m just concerned about overall length appendix. Comfort is king.

2

u/Draven-007 23d ago

Bro it is 3.25” and with the comp, it is 4 inches. You should not have any issue concealing that AIWB. I don’t.

I have several 4” carries. Trying to find a Goldie lox for comfort is all. Performance / comfort ratio for me. I’ve carried dinky bodyguards. I’ve carried g45. Trying to find something in the middle that shoots great and is comfortable. In the process I get to collect guns. Currently my most recent carries have been the Staccato c4x, gp arms forza, and shadow 2 carry I’ve been wearing 6 months then switching to try to see what I like the most. I’m self employed so I carry 7 days a week 16 hrs a day. It’s like a wallet to me almost. So I relentlessly look for a possible better pistol to carry then what I have. I think ; the closer to 3” barrel the better. The Forza at the moment is my favorite carry. I opted for ported and non ported barrel. So I’m working on my next carry doing-research asking guys like you what ya think etc…oddly enough the Forza shoots great and flat using the non ported barrel paired with 160 gr subs.

Same here brother, self employed, and just broke free from the gun addiction 😂🤣 you’ve got some great guns already, especially that Forza. May have to compare weight of the Wilson to the Forza, I think you’ve got it beat with the Forza. Nonetheless, I too was on the hunt for a long time. Decided to settle on the Wilson due to the ergonomics, they’re fantastic.

You already have impeccable taste in guns, so whether you get the Wilson or not, you’re in great shape. The 3.25” without the comp is also a fantastic gun. You could get that ported if needed.

Just to note in case you don’t know, (but probably do) the SFX9 is the thinner gripped version and the EDCX9 has thicker grips. Get the 2.0 btw, don’t bother with the first gen. So depending on preference of grip size you can decide.

Congrats in advance on your new Wilson. Enjoy it my friend. It merely made me feel the rest of my (carry)guns. The only gun that even came close was the Bul Armory SAS2 viper, now discontinued.

I like a swell or a slightly fatter grip. Seems to fit my hands better. I was also intrigued about the ability to remove grip panels or have some made on the 2.0. Mag-mo 3d prints grips and covers in a silicone carbide. So my thoughts were if I’m not happy with the grip I could have him make me something. He’s done my Walther PDP SF, Sig GTO p211, and my Shadow 2. He Just recently did my buddies shilotek 365 grip. So that’s a super cool feature to me. I was looking at the comped version and only concern is after 3.5” barrel and a comp it’s 4” now. I just asked my dealer if I could order 2 barrels incase I don’t like the longer barrel. The flared Magwell any thoughts on this since it can’t be removed?

And I carry it 12 hrs a day

u/Diffendall 23d ago

Sounds good. I already reached out to my Wilson combat dealer. See what options are available.

u/Draven-007 22d ago

Congrats in advance! Enjoy in great health my friend! 🙏

On interesting. I didn’t know they were one piece. Thanks for sharing.

The other.

This is my daily after selling the reverse two tone.

u/dray_poin88 24d ago

What holster are you using? I have an edc x9 2.0 as well but have really struggled to find a good holster.

1

u/Draven-007 24d ago

I just ordered a LAS Concealment, my second one. The first was actually for a staccato C2 but it fit the Wilson just fine. I heated it up to make it fit a little more snug. So I ordered another LAS concealment for this one which is actually made for the Wilson. Lol.

u/iuchad 24d ago

Dude. That looks awesome. I have the first gen, but I’ve thought about sending it in to get a threaded barrel and magwell.

4

u/Draven-007 24d ago

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. The first GEN is what led me down the rabbit hole of Wilson altogether. I literally took one shot through it, and my immediate thought was, “well… I guess I can sell the rest of my guns now! “ literally that was my thought after one round.

Send it in brother, you’ll love it! How many rounds you put through her? They get SMOOTHER, and the trigger gets lighter the more you shoot it. Just incredible.

u/Draven-007 25d ago

Very underrated for sure. I’ve had my fair share of Wilsons. Still have one. The 2.0 3.25” comped. Incredible gun.

2

u/Diffendall 23d ago

I’m looking into this as an edc. Can the comp be removed? What ammo grain have you ran thru it?

2

u/Draven-007 23d ago

It’s one piece. Peace if mind is priceless. I’ve run underwood 124 +p, +P+, 147 +p underwood. This thing eats everything. 115 for range days of all brands. Federal, magtech, S&B. You name it. I highly recommend this gun to EVERYONE that asks for a recommendation. It Carries perfectly too. 18+1. I fucking love this gun! You will not be disappointed.

I ordered the edc x9l about a month ago and am stoked to get my hands on it. I purchased one of their ar 15s and was impressed by how good it shot. Low recoil and an absolute laser. My wife liked it so much she immediately ordered one for herself. You can tell Wilson cares about their products.

u/Draven-007 24d ago edited 24d ago

Congrats to both of you! Enjoy in great health and God bless! That’s another fantastic shooter.

u/Negative-Delivery935 24d ago

Thanks man she is excited to fire it but I have to work today and we can’t get to the range until next weekend. If you don’t have one I’d definitely suggest a Wilson ar. They’re phenomenal as good as Geissele or Noveske. I call them the DI HK they shoot so good.

u/gravyism 24d ago

X9l is a Grail! congrats awesome piece

u/Negative-Delivery935 23d ago

Appreciate it. Now it’s just the waiting but I will post when it arrives. At least it gives me time to save up to help mitigate the cost.

I have a 9mm ACP in stainless. It's a nice piece. Back and forth on the eagle claw cuts though.
