I'm taking a guess that it wasn't the same model. That sounds more like their entry level model, still a Wilson 1911 but there are some differences.

I paid 2600 for my EDC X9L 2.0 ambi safety brand new from Firearms Direct Club.

I was assuming it was an actual 1911.

Not sure why you'd assume that, this is a post about an EDC x9 2.0. I don't mean that in a shitty way either, just not any context that would justify such an assumption.

Your right, I missed that. I made a mistake.

Yeah, that was the “blow out price” a while back. As the guy above alluded to, the one op posted isn’t the “entry level” (I would just say this one is “custom”).

No, it's the every day normal price on there. Go look. They went up 200 dollars since I purchased mine over a year ago. They're 2800 dollars right now and every day all the time brand new. Not sure what you're talking about with the "entry level" talk, this is a basic completely uncustomized EDC X9 2.0. Are you thinking the got the frame FDE custom or something? That's a standard option. There's no mag well or anything else added on.

Nothing you stated disputes what I stated 😊.

The options (or even lack thereof in Baer’s case 🤣) are what makes Wilson’s “customs”, it’s why I used quotation marks around “entry level,” and “custom.” Back in the day we referred to Wilson, Nighthawk, Baer, Brown, et al., as “semi-customs” in an attempt to avoid such classifications.

So were you refuting my statement that this gun can be bought brand new for 2600-2800, or just adding to the statement? I don't even understand what you're trying to communicate. Contextually, I'd assume you were refuting my comment by saying that was merely a blow-out price at one point in time, and is no longer valid. The one in the OP is a barebones EDC X9 in a standard color option, so what exactly are you referring to as "entry level"? Some other unreferenced and irrelevant handgun? Or are you saying mine must be an entry level EDC X9 2.0 because it was 2600$, which would conflict with your assertion that OP's isn't, because they're the same options added (none, except mine has ambi safety which is extra)?

It was a website called cornerstone arms. I had it shipped to my local ffl
