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.
(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
Yes, the EDC X9 and the SFX9 use the same Magazines. Great Shooting. Best Regards
I'm glad he challenged himself a little bit and backed out to 130yd in the cold wind. I mean 100yd is just kinda like basic warm up really unless it's blizzard conditions at night.
Across the road had me dead af
People who can really shoot tend not to spout off about how good they are
@@mtthwpnn Yep. More walk, less talk. Unless the shooter's being asked to instruct on shooting.
I would love to own a Wilson combat some day. I run their mags in my 1911, never an issue
My WC mags do not work when loaded to full capacity in my 9 mm Kimber commander.

@@hrlkt3413 The tears of poor people is what fuels me. Keep em coming, Honey!
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
My God that's a fantastic Pistol. Even love the color. Ridiculously priced though. It looks like a 1911 made love to a Sig 320 X Legion
They did…….
Thought it looked like a better done Para-Ordnance.
I have been playing with an EDC X9 that my dealer has for a few months. Right beside it was a DW Specialist in 9. Finally made up my mind and took home the Dan Wesson. Love the Wilson, the build quality is impeccable, the curve of the back of the grip slightly bothersome... in today’s market it is definitely worth the 2600 bucks.
Wilson Combat products and service are absolutely stellar. 👍🏻
I saved my money for a 4 inch SFX9 and it is an incredible pistol. I have other makes which I like, but the Wilson quality is second to none.
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.
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.
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…
I put all Wilson combat aftermarket parts on my Turkish 1911 and it shoots like a $2000 gun now. Amazing quality.
Unless you own a $2000 gun that would be impossible to say.
I just purchased one. Out of the box I am extremely impressed. Feels great to shoot. Much better than the X9S which I quickly sold. Feels different than my eXperior commander 4.25”. Different grip (as there are no panels) and lighter weight. Overall, a solid carry option.
I have the SFX9, 3.25 - got a layaway plan on gunbroker, now it’s on my hip every day. I’m a kitchen rat so anyone can cop one if I can. It is hard to argue with an 18 rd magazine for CCW. No complaints whatsoever. But my Dan Wesson Vbob is on its way back to the facility for repairs!!!
Thanks for the review - I have been struck by how easily you hit those shots at 100 yards with multiple pistols through multiple videos...
Some of these replies are always priceless ….
Great gun. better operator.
You make what you do look stupid easy and it’s anything but easy.
Wilson Combat pistols will always top 99% of all handguns no matter who makes them, even Staccato.
The optics system Wilson uses is one of the best on the market
Premium performance requires $$$. My Nighthawks have never had a malfunction. The magazines have occasionally worn out, but the guns run and run. Never shot a Wilson though like others I use his magazines in my TRPs. Best Regards
I've got a 92G Centurion, 5 inch 1911, and I ordered a 4 inch SFX9 about a week ago and I can't wait until I get the call from my FFL saying it's in. To date I've never been disappointed with a Wilson Combat gun they're expensive but they're phenomenal guns. I guess this could be the one that just sucks for some reason but I doubt it... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
I agrees with you on the sights. My SFT9 was ordered with a RMR and green front sight. This works well for me without any dot confusion.
Excellent review. Looking forward to the 1,000 round review. Your reviews helped me purchase my stacatto P and I appreciate the comparisons.
I do love the aesthetics of the WC.
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.
Hey Chris, I’m a long haul trucker and loyal subscriber. Your vid’s help to pass the long time on the road. Here’s a suggestion, do reviews on guns in different calibers. I’m looking at getting at .45 or 10mm. And the research has my head spinning. What’s your opinion? Dude, I’ll take yours over most, as your reviews are no BS. Asking for Taurus and Springfield… for a friend. 😂 Anyway, that’s what I’d like to see. Thanks for all you do man, it does make a difference. Safe shooting 👊🏻
Dan Wesson
10mm is the future and has better ballistics but 45 ACP has a proven track record and isn't going anywhere
@@BrianWood777 I do not have a crystal ball, but I think all these necked down pistol rounds like the 5.7 and 357 sig are the future. Realistically probably polymer cases as well. 10mm is a fine round and probably not going anywhere soon.
Depends on your purpose, if it’s for bears then 10mm if it’s for threats of the 2 leg variety go 9mm for the capacity. 9mm has enough punch to reliably get the penetration required and maximizes the capacity. I’d rather have 15 rounds and only need 6 then have 6 and need 7.
@@jaydunbar7538 I live in a state that, unfortunately, only lets me have 10 rounds cap. It sucks! Can’t wait to leave this place but work and my son keeps me here, for now. I think 9mm just doesn’t have the punch I’m looking for. I do like the track record of the 45, but the 10mm seems to be the .357 of the semi auto world.
man, i wish someone would do basically this but in da/sa with a decocker. i don't understand why everyone doesn't love that functionality.
I recently picked up the Beretta Wilson Combat 92G Centurion with the action tune and could not be more in love. Has all those features, so damn nice when it’s not being used it’s my go to open the safe and hold one for a while gun
I love my edc x9. It shoots so damn good it's ridiculous. I can only imagine the sfx is just as awesome. I am saying this before watching the review. I hope I'm not proven wrong lol
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.
I like this guys reviews but he always makes me want firearms I can't afford.
I agree, I have 5 high end 2011's. I love how Nighthawk TRS Comp uses their IOS system with normal sized front and rear sights. Plus, Nighthawk goes one step further and put a rear sight in front of the RMR, so you get the whole window. I did learn that all Nighthawk guns are the same as Wilson Combat Signature series. There is more hand fitting with their signature series,hence the higher price tag. If you really want to try something special, see if someone will let you try the Nighthawk TRS Comp, OMG!!
I have the SFT9, and the two get confusing. They do have various differences, but they are getting confusing with all the new models. I'd like to hear the decision process on the external extractor for the SFX9 and traditional internal extractor for the SFT9 in particular. The T9 is laser beam accurate and dead reliable so far.
I don't think the cops would give this gun back to you after a self defense shooting. "Sorry, we can't find it".
Chris again you prove why your a excellent reviewer and not a gun fanboy great job
Love your videos! I might buy this one. I have been wanting to get a Wilson combat for a long time. This might be the one. Thank you for your great reviews!
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...
Sweet a gun I'll never be able to afford, God bless
I'd love to own that one but the cost is putting it on hold for now.
I really am interested in this gun, but damn it's expensive.
Buy once cry once
Love that 130yd shot location! We do the same thing up here in MN depending on what fields in corn,beans or hay! We are a bit more hilly up here so that helps for backstops.
Thats one good looking pistol right there
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?
Don't luv many handguns, like a lot, but Love that one and the Atlas
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!
Guy is unreal, shooting at 130 yards with a gun he is handling for the first time and hitting with ease!!
I currently carry an EDC X9 as my everyday and I can say that the SFX9 will be my next WC. My EDC X9 is the most accurate handgun I've ever shot and the SFX9 seems to follow that trend.
Me too when I carry owb. AIWB I carry a p365, but I can see trading this for the x9 as it seems to check all of the boxes.
Thanks
What a sweet looking firearm! Wow. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
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.
My next Wilson Combat, I currently have 3 W.C. can’t wait to get this. Thanks for the review
I have always wanted a Wilson Combat pistol and since I am not getting any younger, guess it is time to bite the bullet and get one. I am trying to decide if I want to go with the proven SFX9 or the newer SFT9. I was wondering if you have had a chance to try out the new SFT9 model for a comparison to the SFX9. THanks
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
I love the occasional "f**k" you cut loose with! Excellent, and realistic. :-) 1:32
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!
No one better than the honest outlaw....appreciate all his content
Picked up this pistol but the black series with the carry “melt” dehorn. Fantastic gun
I have owned the AFX frame and traded it for another edc x9. Much prefer the grip on the x9
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.
Love this pistol but the deal breaker the barrel should be nitrided stainless doesn't last as long and prone to scratches
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
Like how he calls balls and strikes and tells it like it is. Honest Outlaw! 👍🏿
I appreciate your honesty, they are very expensive. The cold weather is very good example, cold shit is tough
Lesson learned for those ordering. The trigger can only be fit/changed by Wilson which takes 4 months or more, they wouldn’t tell me exactly. Make sure you get the trigger length you want when ordering. I wrongly assumed they could be swapped locally.
thanks
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
Damn that’s a nice one! I hope I can get a higher end pistol like that someday!
Lack of grip safety is a huge difference and IMHO a better design.
@Shawn McConnell people who are proficient in firearms don't need safeties
@Shawn McConnell I'm a fan of no safety in general. Wasn't talking about it being on the grip or else where. I'm a revolver guy first and a striker fired next, not that I don't love 1911s
Meh
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.
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.
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
No atrocious grip safety, I love it!
I come back to watch this video just to drool over it every now and then man what I would do for this
Great video, I will never buy a pistol like this but am grateful for you showing it is out there.
Wilson Combat is the best! Great review and great shooting.
I am a newer subscriber to the channel and never miss a new video. Shooting is amazing. Have you ever done a training video showing us mere mortals your hold, breathing and trigger best practices?
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.
Beautiful pistol.
Kiiiinda at a glance reminds me of the newer Sig 210 carry
2800 that’s it! I might have to get one for a backup gun to my Atlas NYX.. very cool🤙
I have personally gotten to temperature sensitive to shoot in the cols My hats off to you guys.
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.
Love that X-TAC. I am looking at there X-TAC Supergrade 1911 in 45
Awesome! Thanks Outlaw! Can't afford one, but I like it. Can't believe you were hitting steel at that distance!
Speaking of premium performance… great shooting!
Brooooooo yes 🙌🏼. I’ve been looking for videos on this model for like the last week and there’s hardly any. It’s between this and a Staccato C2 and I’ve been on your Staccato videos recently. This will be my first true gun snob purchase 😂
I have A C2 and poking at getting this and selling C2. It’s all about the grip. The C2 is more blocky and thicker grip. Some prefer that. sFX9 is really slim grip and for me that works better. Both will be great shooters.
“Awesome guns I can’t really afford”.
I felt that.
Great gun!!! But here in the Philippines it will cost you an arm and a legs to own one of those.
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.
This seals it for me. Now it's just a matter of which barrel length. Probably 4"
Please do a comparison with the SFX9 and the EDC X9
I know it is an apples to oranges comparison to compare this to the Shield Plus 4" Performance Center being the S&W is a striker fired pistol...but other than that, I see a lot of similarities between the two...slim grip, 4" barrel, good triggers (even though one is striker fire), and the most obvious difference being polymer vs metal...oh and price.
That said, which would you trust more with your life? I ask because people have questioned the reliability of the 1911 design in adverse conditions, and well...this Wilson is designed for EDC. Thanks.
I bought a Atlas Athena from Manning & Sons. I made sure to mention your name
Enjoy your input on this fine handgun . You rock 👍
$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
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 have the 3.25 inch . I wish Wilson would have kept the same slide profile on the 4 inch .
I was like damn that gun looks small but I forget you are a big guy
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 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.
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 😂
My fav CC pistol is a Beretta 92x compact but I wouldn’t call $760 cheap exactly.
