Shooting a 1000 rounds with just the single magazine. .. commitment
67 mag loads. Damn that! 😂
Looks like this pistol has every conceivable enhanced technological advancement that you can cram into an EDC gun. My biggest concern is that if you purchase this pistol you will have reached the pinnacle of performance and practicality. There will be no conceivable reason or rational to purchase another firearm. It’s very concerning.
Or you know, you spent a shit ton of money on a 1911 and you have to justify that it was a reasonable purchase... by not purchasing another gun! lol
Quality Guru yes!
Hahahaha 😂 I've never heard anyone put that well conceived thought into words but yeah 🤭🤣 well said indeed!! Oh the agony!!!😁
I have not purchased another pistol for that exact reason. My x9 just shoots and it easy to carry. It’s the size of a Glock 19, but oh is it sweet to shoot.
This gun have nothing that other guns wouldnt have. Its just average carry pistol performance wise. And its still beaten by others in many categories basically.
"no conceivable reason or rational to purchase another firearm"
But you still didnt present any reason to buy one. And you just said "another firearm", really? Like including rifles and shotguns? Wow you are such a fanboy right now if you think that this overpriced carry pistol can replace rifles or shotguns. Its not even close to being as comfortable as full sized pistols, its not gun for competitions, its not heavy duty gun, its not subcompact pocket gun, it cant replace literally any rifle or shotgun. Its just compact 1911 style with improved ergonomics and lighter materials. Looks like you have no clue about firearms in general.
I absolutely love mine. Purchased mine about 2 years ago. Haven’t purchased a handgun since. It’s my carry. Absolutely love how it shoots.
I find your reviews both credible and informative - thanks for putting this together for our benefit.
It took me over a year to decide between this EDC X9 and the Staccato P Duo. I ended up with the Duo, last years model with full dust cover. It has a TLR-1 HL (the brown FDE one). It just got a Trijicon HRS last night. I went with the Duo because of it's finish, ambi safety with no extra cost (it's standard) and it comes with all of the hardware you need for whichever optic you choose to mount. It's a great gun. I have no regrets at all. Thanks Outlaw!
Absolutely one of the best feeling guns in hand I've ever owned. I bought this gun a year ago and have put about 2k rounds through it.
I absolutely love it, the only failure (just 1) I have had was hard primer related while trying to put the most garbage ammo ( because I always do that) I could find through it. This gun eats everything. It's expensive as hell but I think it's worth every penny. 👍
why do people purposely put garbage ammo through their guns especially something that costs over 2 grand? would you buy a new Corvette and put the cheapest gas in? never understood that...
@@babyblue8214 Its a reliability test. You never know if you might have to throw some shitty ammo through stuff
@@babyblue8214 Well for one, the cheap ammo doesn't hurt your gun, it just shows that it will run with it if that's what you're relegated to. That's good to know.
Do you shoot premium $1 a shot ammo exclusively? Probably not.
I don't, but I do practice with it though as that is what I carry.
I have one as well and absolutely love it. I had 3 FTF in the first 300 rounds but no stoppages since. Extremely accurate with great ergonomics.
@@Chayonray if you don't mind me asking how much did you actually have to pay..I was looking into buying one..I understand there's a couple different options you can get , I was looking at the Browning high power they did 3 years ago but they discontinued it
My wife's range coach carries one. Let her shoot it... then she made me buy one for her! Never looked back! It is what everyone says it is -- Love this X9!
I bought this a while back, and yeah it's really cool gun a big joy to shoot. Hey you and the wife teamed up here and ah done some great range work and I hope you enjoyed the run.
Great videos! Great couple. Love that she is as involved in the channel along with u.
Hats off to your wife (or significant other) for being such a great cinematographer even in the windy weather!
It's crazy how good you are at reviewing guns. Thank you!
Love my EDC X9 so much, I have an order in for an EDC X9S for summertime carry! Great gun, worth every penny.
I’ve seen that grip pattern sticking out of the holster of the owner of a local gun shop, Sporting Systems. Now I know what gun he carries!
I’ve loved the design since I saw it on KS’s channel. The price keeps me away but maybe one day.
I can’t wait for your full review.
I am 57 yrs old and I have owned about every brand and size at one time or another, I have been blessed and was able to and I have carried for about 8 years now and the EDC X9 is hands down the most Comfortable to Carry & Shoot, just as reliable as a Glock, HK or any other and more Accurate than all the others while Sexy at the Same Time. Unless something spectacular comes out this will be my Carry Gun from now on.
Now that's a cool pistol. I haven't heard anything bad about the EDC line. If they work reliably, then I think they're worth what Wilson Combat asks for them, it's a solid project executed very nicely. I also like how Wilson Combat offers the EDC line in other sizes and with an option for red dot sights. Great video.
I have this same pistol. It is an understatement to say I like it. It just does everything well. When I pick it up my hands feel quality, and the performance just follows. I don't know why I didn't purchase it sooner. . .yes, I do, it is pricey, but worth it.
I can't remember the first time I requested this, thanks for this
I own this gun and I love it. I carry it whenever it makes sense and it is worth every penny as all things Wilson tend to be.
I wish I didn't have to chase your videos down but it's worth it man love what you do
I can speak for Guncrafter Industries. I have had one of their Commander sized .50 GIs and it is a wonder to behold. The quality and craftmanship is absolute top notch and I have never had a malfunction out of it yet and I've put over 1000 rounds through it. ( I reload to keep costs down.) I also have a Colt Officer's model that was worked over by Wilson Combat back in the '80s and it was my carry gun for over 30 years. It would be a hard toss up between the two, but I carry my Guncrafter now because my colt is so old now, lol.
We’ve been playing with the EDC X9L 5” version of this and have been equally impressed.
Regards,
Marky
Dude I genuinely love your and your wife's vids man been here since the beginning
I reviewed the EDC 9 about a year or so ago, it was also a loaner. It hurts to give those back!
Was just thinking yesterday about how I wish you'd review this one. Thanks!
"maybe I will be careful what you wish for!" 😂😂
I really wanted to click the like button on this comment, but I saw it was on 69 likes and it fits the situation better if it stays at that point.
@@ianmoritzkrecic7929 some asshole already ruined it
Lmfao
Damn it Carl lmao😂
😂😂😂
Just bought one, so now I'm going back over videos I've already watched several times, just to feel a little validation for such a big purchase. I get the feeling I'm gonna love it though.
I got to shot one at a class back in Feb and am in love. was ready to pull the trigger, then Corona happened. Will get there by the end of the year if all goes well.
I've owned this handgun for a year and can't imagine a better gun to shoot!
Hey neighbor, you're going to love the Kimber KDS9c. Can't wait to see the review from you!!
You sold me on this one nice grips reliable accurate and quick in a self defense situation 🤝
I can't wait for you to test all of the other guns you mentioned in this category. I am interested to know which one you would pick out of the bunch. This is am amazing gun and I love it but for the price I do understand there are other options for much less. I think that is the only reason why this pistol hasn't completely blown up the market. It is one of those guns that keeps getting better the more you shoot it.
I like how you push down on the top of the slide to seat the firearm better in your webing and get a solid grip. I do the same thing subconsciously instinctively IDK started noticing as I became a regular viewer
Clear ear protection? Fantastic! Been subscribed for a while and really like this content and your camera person is the best. Wilson combat is to top notch as they are hand fitted and tested and ya gotta pay for the labore. I'm in the Sig Sauer and Kimber range however I have one Ed Brown I stuck my neck out for and the wife almost, well you know. Great video as always. I feel your content is personable and you like what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Love pistol vids. Always really neat. Appreciate this
Wow, fuckn beautiful. That looks perfect! I love 1911s/2011s. & Wilson Combat makes some of the best. Great video brother.
Yes , sold I’d take it , the wife handles it awesome 👏, You got to like this gun for sure.. thanks , impressed with the XL version as well. Thanks again
Your buddy must be a real, real good friend. No way I'd let anyone but me run 1000rds in my $3000 gun. Thank him for me, looking forward to the next vid.
Thats why you buy it, to use it.
Love those Wilson grips They know how to make some attractive grips and serrations
I ordered one of these in May. Wilson Combat called me today to ask for an FFL so they can ship it to me. I can't wait.
I bought one. Its a great edc gun. I have carried 5 other guns. I just love the 1911 ergonomics with the 9mm high capacity.
Pretty cool you took the time to respond on a comment. I think I’ll support you on patreon if you are putting that much effort into it
thanks man!
Would love to see YOUR review of the BUL SAS II Ultra Light. Looks like a sweet little pew pewer. I think you are a no bullshit guy, so I trust your opinion. Look forward to it.
I also own the Wilson combat edc x9L picked it up at brownells in Grinnell iowa on sale crazy price $1999.99 plus tax it shoots really nice several of my buddy’s have shot it as well they all likes it .
Good gun, great relationship! Thanks for the video.
In the first Two minutes into the video an , I'm already Sold. I want one in my collection !!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing this Wilson Combat EDC X9 , Honest Outlaw !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great review however, you mentioned that some 2011 pistols have questionable reliability. The EDC X9 isn’t a 2011, it’s a handgun designed from the ground up to fire the 9mm cartridge. The mags share the tube with Walther PPQ and are produced by Mec-gar. I believe the design of the handgun is based on the Astra A7, Browning BDM, and of course the 1911. I own a EDC X9L and have a few thousand rounds through it with no issues.
I DO LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THOUGH. In my TOP 3 Gun Channels
Hey Honest Outlaw family... I had an EDC X9, and now upgraded to the newer EDC X9"S".
I'd say the reason why the slide didn't lock back was perhaps the gun needs more lube...
Other than that, you can definitely place WC next to your heart in any survival situation.
I love mine. One of my favorite guns and it is my EDC gun.
Probably the best review ive seen so far, good thing you showed how high is the bore access, thats much higher than striker pistols, the pistol looks very good, i think its over priced though 🤔.
It was a toss up for me between the STI and the Wilson and I already own Wilson 1911s but the C2 and 2020 staccato p just really impressed me so that’s what I went with
Mr outlaw well done. First review i ever saw from u.
Bro your freakin Aim down sights is freak- like damn good.💯
I feel like if a laser blaster from Star Wars came onto the market, it would cost less than the average Wilson Combat gun.
This is the best comment of the day!
Wilson will be comming out with a Star Wars Blaster first quarter of 2022.
Lol
But it would miss way more than the Wilson…
One is a precision weapon with pin point accuracy made in state of the art modern machines and space age materials
And one is a laser blaster
I appreciate watching her shoot and rack the slide!
The strength needed to rack the slide is always a concern for me.
Go figure that Mr. Red likes the red sight better 😅
absolutely love this one. and funnily when i heard the price,my first thought was not that i cant afford it,but i wonder how many are going to bring up price....well.....lol. but i admire and aspire for one. and people who think they can buy some other very good gun,that is "better" at half the price,dont know whats its like to shoot one of these.just feels right. but its for those who can afford it,and if they can,why not? i would. keep safe Honest Outlaw and fam.
I agree with you. A similar thing happened with the Sig P210a. People who clearly never even tried the gun put it way down on the basis of its price and the idea that European made ones are leagues better. Sig Sauer may have taken shortcuts, but what matters are the results. Bullseye shooters at my local league tested the P210a and believe it's the best/most accurate/precise production handgun you can buy today.
Please do a updated every day carry update. I would love to see that and I think a lot of others would to.
I can't wait for the 1000 rnd review. I believe the mags are essentially modified PPQ mags. I love my X9....carry it all day everyday.
I only have one Wilson...a CQB Elite in 45. I think this would make a good pairing. Thanks Outlaw.
mag well + 18 rds mag would be nice add on it. Price is an issue, but i didn’t regret it after I got it, and went to range. Cherry red grips on bronze frame isn’t bad looking.
I like that Wilson Combat was smart enough to use a proven magazine made by MecGar from the Walther PPQ in the EDC X9. This is much better than STI or Staccato as they are now called with their 3 generations of mags going to a 4th soon. The magazine is the heart of reliability for a pistol. I’m eagerly anticipating the Dan Wesson DWX that will use the CZ75 compact magazines also made by MecGar.
Wait....what??? There is a Dan Wesson that takes cz75 compact mags????
I enjoyed that bit of banter
Great gun. But for the biggest bang for the buck get the Guns and Ammo 1992 handgun of the year:
The Star Firestar 9 mm
It's frame is built around the 9 mm cartridge (way before the Springfield Armory EMP).
It has the same slide inside the rails designe as the Sig 210.
It is single action only and can be carried cocked and locked. The ambidextrous thumb safeties can be in safe position when you cycle the slide to load it.
If your hand likes a 1911 it will like the much smaller Firestar.
It has the same style checkering in the front and back straps as a Beretta M9A1.
It has a bushingless cone barrel, 3 dot sights with a barrel axis low in your hand.
It is also compact and reliable.
Unfortunately Star went out of business.
But you can find used ones with the hard chrome finish for around $400.
The only drawback is it's a little heavy for its size as it's
all steel.
Cheers
My dream pistol...there’s just something about the look that sings to me
You have an awesome channel, extremely informative and I'm glad I found it. I'm 41 never owned a gun nor have I been hunting but am definitely going to invest in some in the next few weeks for home defense (recently moved to the sticks) and range practice. Haven't yet made up my mind on which ones to purchase. Recommendations would be appreciated. (I work construction so the budget is mid range) Thanks for all the helpful information!
What guns did you end up getting?
@@blainwilson7937 I picked up an Hk vp9sk, m&p 15 and a few other ARs that I built.
@@D.RumShaker That’s a good selection. I have an HK USP in 9mm. I’m now looking at the manufacturer Zastava and may purchase my first ever AK pretty soon and they also make AK’s chambered in 5.56 as well.
that thing is BADASS. And badass shooting skills too.
Check out the Bul Armory SAS II Ultralight series.
Those must be one of the lightest concealed carry 2011s out there.
I'd love to see a review on one of those. 😎
Mrs Outlaw is a good shot. Much better than I am. 👍🏼👍🏼
I did my own version of the X9 with a CZ P-01. One less round capacity for the P-01, but similar size and weight, can be set up with either a decocker or thumb safety, and I have to say that just for me, I would rather have the CZ-75b platform for the 9mm round, over just about any other design on the market. Nothing against the Wilson though, it's a phenomenal defensive handgun I'm sure. But I think I can buy 5 or 6 P-01's or one and a crap ton of practice ammo, for the price of the Wilson.
Archie Bunker you can always get a 15 round magazine. Then they’ll both be even, in terms of capacity
I bought a CZ PCR, and I love it. Very ergonomic, all metal, 14 rounds and no safety to worry about.
I've been thinking the same thing. I like these semi-custom guns, but also can't spend thousands and I want a decocker-only DA/SA. CZ-01 fits the bill. I'd get it through Cajun Gun Works. I really like the Kadet adapter for CZs, it means I'd have a .22LR pistol of the same quality for not much more than the 9mm. But recently I've been so impressed by the developments with new striker-fired guns like the P365 and Glock 43X that I'm tempted to make one of those my next carry gun instead. I'd much rather have a decocker-only DA/SA, and I know the higher-end heavier guns will shoot better, but the striker-fired guns are getting so light and compact that they're leaving everything else behind. And they're inexpensive. Hammer-fired guns haven't caught up. I might just train myself over my aversion to striker-fired carry guns (for safety reasons I like the longer trigger pull on the first shot with a DA/SA).
Paelorian Yes, I sent my PCR off to CGW and it came back a real keeper.
I have a standard, off-the-shelf P-01, and I absolutely adore that thing. It's the only gun I've ever had that I can fire basically as quickly as I can pull the trigger and get back on target and put an entire magazine in a group the size of an apple. It is incredibly soft shooting and it has the most natural point of aim of any pistol I've ever had. CZ hit it out of the park with that one.
nice video, very DWX Compact like pistol, you should compare those two.
What an awesome carry pistol, would love to get to shoot one of these.
I've had mine for over a year and it's a fantastic handgun. That said, if you've carried any of the popular polymer striker fired nines out there, you'll go back to them after a week of carrying the WC. It is noticeably heavier when carrying all day.
I put my Glock 19 away 3 months ago and haven’t picked it back up since getting my EDC X9L that’s the 5” model. I carry it everyday all day.
Thanks... I living through these reviews!
EDC makes the C2 seem like a budget option!
I really like the compact size 2011 concept. Big fan of the safety for appendix carry.
Running a Staccato C now, so will go with a C2.
Every pistol I try gets judged against the G19.5 and the P07... If it isn’t equal to or better than them, I try something else.
You and your wife are the definition of relationship goals.
that looks so smooth. im close to getting one myself. i best price i found was 2600 and thats with the ambi safety being a lefty.
thats a good price. Mine has the ambi that adds another $100. I you are going to buy new you might consider a Red dot... yes its more but you will be very happy and your life is worth it
Thanks love the 1911 but hate grip safety so this is on my "next" list next to the DWX and interesting that the grip is that low due to beaver tail never noticed before
You should do a side by side with this and the Staccato c2
Channel partner & camera guru turns into benefits.. What a life!!!
It’s gotta be the beard that improves your speed and shooting accuracy.
I'm growing out a coronabeard so facial hair has been on my mind thus I must express my appreciation for your outstanding mane. Oh, and good video too... 👍👍
Really nice 👍
Thanks for sharing
Love the Cardigan, Mrs Outlaw!
Katianna Hebden thanks!!
Great video, love those WC pistols and your wife is just adorable.
Would love a Bull Sas review ;-). Great content!
I need this 🔥👌
Outlaw, I love your reviews! Awhile back, one of your videos stated that high end 1911's were not as reliable due to tight tolerances. Has your opinion changed?
I wish my wife would come out and enjoy range time with me you got it made man
Most women don't appreciate self defense or our freedoms.
Be careful what you wish for. My wife goes with me and she ends up shooting all the ammo. I introduced shooting squirrels and now I realize magazines. Haha
He enjoys his wife's company at the range and she enjoys his. They're both into it, and it's cool.
I’ve shot one of these, great gun but the $3 grand price tag is steep!
Well that was a look into the outlaws personal lives.....😏
Have you gave knighthawk a look? There 2011 with an aluminum grip is lighter than the sti. So an all metal gun that’s several ounces lighter than the polymer 2011.
I still have not seen a better gun review channel.
You two are so saucy! Adds to the quality of the content 😂
No, thay need to grow up....
@@igotsnacks13 shut up cheese foot
I actually did a review on this firearm recently, great gun!!!
I’ve got two of these and been carrying one every day since shortly after they came out. It’s not a 2011. 2011s are a two piece double stack 1911 frame, this is a one piece frame built around the 9mm that is almost the exact same diameter as a single stack 1911. Also 2011 magazines have created a cottage industry for gunsmiths tweaking the mags to get them reliable in your 2011. The X9 uses the exact same exemplary magazine as the Walther PPQ M1 with different base pads. I'm a CZ fanboy myself but all of you saying the DWX compact does the same thing for a third of the money, where is your footage of that? Oh yeah none of you have ever shot that gun because it’s not in production. And lastly all of the comments about the price, good grief go buy a dozen high points and have a ball.
Damn got to ranting and forgot to say great review as always Honest Outlaw.
Agreed
It is nice to have Mrs. Outlaw out there...Thanks..Sweet pistol, but I will not pay that(I do have a couple Wilson's)--the best!
Nice review, have you tried the Bul Armory SAS2 Viper? Small EDC 2011 with Shield RMSc red dot and comp at around 1800.
Wow. Learned something in the first 2 minutes. I picked one of these up at Brownells, and completely hated it because of the "hump" in the back strap. The guy that was helping me didn't say anything about it having interchangeable parts.
Also, the correct response to your wife's wise crack is "Don't threaten me with a good time." 😂
I don’t know, man!...a 1911 is a .45 ACP period...call me old school all you want.
I’m a fan of your channel and shooting!
I just watched a “gun guys” video where Ken Hackathorn (Mr. 1911) has switched from .45 to 9mm (Bill Wilson too). Evidently, if you shoot literally thousands, if not millions, of .45 rounds over the course of several decades, it can catch up with you in the form of arthrisis, etc. I’m not there yet, but even the real old school shooters are starting to reconsider…
@@toobalicious I know…and it pisses’ me off, man!😂😂😂. I don’t wanna’ be a dick but then again I’m being one!😂😂😂😂 but you know exactly what I mean!
No man escapes the ravages of time. But this pistol isn't a 1911 at all, so there is that. Look, I'm a 1911 guy through and through, and my pistol sitting right here is a .45, but a man has to be honest with himself when the time comes and realize that at some point it becomes harder to manage recoil and maintain the accuracy of those follow-up shots. If it means switching to 9mm to maintain the speed and accuracy I've built up over these decades, well... speed and accuracy are the name of the game, not .45 vs 9mm. I gotta make that call, and damn soon.
Who am I to argue with the likes of Bill Wilson and Ken Hackathorn?
Great review
