As usual, great video Don! Got the Wilson Beretta after watching your video, now you have me wanting this hi-cap 9mm beast. Good grief that Wilson up next to the G19 is not fair! Thanks Brother!
Thanks Mark! The quality of this pistol gives me the warm and fuzzies! Lol!
While it might be the best double stack 9mm ever made, it certainly is the best looking one ever made! You're right Don, there is no substitute for quality. I got the Trifecta from Bill 20 years ago (UT-15 AR, Supergrade 1911 & Scattergun Tech 870 12 ga) and they are still running flawlessly. The UT-15 is serial #WC00014. Still my best AR out of the 6 I have around. Not one malfunction in all that time, thousands of rounds. BTW, your excellent video quality really made that pistol shine and stand out!
I appreciate it brother. It was a hard review to put together because the quality was so high, I wanted to do it justice.
Hard Target yes, all parts are forged. Nothing is mim in their guns
Mark Williamson if you make a 1911 double stack in 9 mm, is it not a Hi Power?
I just knew the comments would be full of people saying a $3k gun will never sell, Glocks are just as good, etc. it's like they want every gun to cost $550 or less. There are people who WANT to pay high prices for higher quality guns.
People will pay it... Otherwise salient arms, agency arms, and Zev Technologies would all be out of business
Pepsiaddicto and there will always be those of us Blue Collar guys mocking and pointing out the rich guys that just want to show off how much money they have to waste!
Trigger Happy: That's fine, if you're happy with your trailer because it works as shelter, and your Kia because it gets from A to B, and your Glock because it shoots, that's fine. Some of us want a higher quality life.
Class envy is a slippery slope to socialism.
Hard Target those decisions were made for weight reduction, not for cost reduction.
okay
in the first minute...who else noticed the the beautifully consistent ejection trajectory during 2 hand holds ?
wow
Perfect timing! Tax refund season! Sending that beauty back had to be like Tom Hanks crying in Cast Away, "WILSON!!!"
jmk 0316 I might be a year later,but this is such a high cuality dad joke that it deserved some recognition
I enjoyed your video. Just received my Wilson Combat EDC X9. It lives up to the hype! Now my favorite carry pistol.
If you don't mind me asking what type of holster do you use for every day carry thanks in advance !!
I have their CQB in 45 and carry it on duty daily. I trust this company above all others to protect my life. Thank god my agency allows personally owned carry.
Rusty Shacklefort I unwittingly beat the tar out of my edc pistol. I can't imagine subjecting this gun to all that abuse deliberately.
Man its just a tool if it doesn't work in what I do Im dead so I want the best. At the end of the day my life is worth a hell of a hell of a lot more than any gun on earth. To that end I have shot and carried 1911s since I first started shooting them at 7 years old. I know that platform and I can shoot the ticks off of a dogs a** with one.
Guns are tools. I still recall the day when I decided that guns weren't for going out and having fun but a TOOL to protect my family, when I realized this I sold every gun I owned that had ever had a malfunction and bought high end weapons that i could barely afford because i knew i could trust my life and my family life too. Think of Guns like wrenches, if you are a professional mechanic you arn't going to have Black and Decker tools from Home Depot, granted they work fine for most jobs, but when your using them as your livelihood to provide food for they family your going to go get a chest of Snap-Ons and not risk not being able to finish a job because of an inferior tool, just like Rusty Shacklefort says for his job he could carry a kel-tec but he doesent want cheep tools, he wants the best, and Willison Combat is the best
Well spoken brother. Thanks
G3oc3nt1c I couldn't have said it better myself. Im very similar to you if I have malfunctions after a certain period (i.e. after break in and checking the problem isn't ammo or mag related) they get sold. For now I am single and get paid well as a federal leo so I buy the best I can for whatever job the weapon will be used.
I love that consistent ejection pattern. Puts them in a nice little pile for ya to pick up.
Great video Sootch as always, you nailed it when you said “you can just feel the quality”. And to those that say that this gun is overpriced for people to carry, I would ask them one simple question, what is your life worth...long live the republic brother!
AMEN! I am going to get a wilson p320 when I get the money. Wilson FTW
Just an amazing tool. Art and beauty combined with form and function. Love to pick one up one of these days. Definitely on my list 👍🏻😃
if your going to carry a 1911 for a edc wilson is the way to go.. if your going to depend on a 1911 to possibly save your life why not have the best.. so what if the cops take it if i use it.. if im alive and it saved me then ill buy another one whats 3k when it could be the difference between living and dieing if your cheaper gun malfunctions .. love the wilson guns ;) xtac elite owner here 45acp though
Thanks for your comment. Well said. I want the best for self defense.
BW carry owner, it's my carry gun too
l67swap1 if I use it in jistified force I better be getting it back.
Agree quality over quantity in the 1911 category
Ordered it today 6 to 8 months wait time, bronze lower, black upper, dirty olive grips, two extra mags, short trigger and small grips. I asked if the can drill and tap for a red dot, not yet although they are working on a rail so you can remove the rear sight and install a red dot, it's still in the planning stage. Can't wait
Did you get yours? I've had mine for about 3 months and absolutely am in love with it
I've been following this for a long time now. They really knocked it out of the park. This is by far the most aesthetically pleasing handgun I've ever seen.
I wasn't sure, so I looked up "lust" in the dictionary. And sho 'nuff, there's a picture of the EDC X9 next to the definition.
I have been a Glock fan for years. After seeing this masterpiece, I am selling my Zev Glock 19 and I ordered one of these. Superior Wilson Combat quality with ALL the features this has,WOW!!!! I really miss the 1911 trigger, grip angle, but I liked the reliabilty of my Glock. Wilson changed the frame, slide (with an external extractor) and many other details, just amazing!
Rick Riccar go for it!
Never thought i would ever fall in love with a gun, but i did! And your explantion was over the top, thank you.
Wilson combat makes the Rolls Royce of handguns. I started my savings for this pistol 3 months ago when I seen a sneek peek of it.
it will be mine.
Did you get this pistol? How is it?
I bought one. Took 6 mos. of extra odd jobs to pay for it at age 68. It can be done, but wishing you had 3 grand won’t cut it. You have to want it enough to find the extra work to pay it. And yes it was worth it!
Thanks so much for the review. I've been on the edge of putting a deposit on the X9 but there are no reviews that aren't just based on press releases until yours'.
I've been looking at other Wilson's and for the features you get standard with the X9 (such as fluted barrel with recessed crown), it's a steal. Similar optioned Wilson's are in the $4,000 range. Thanks again for the detailed review.
Thanks Allan, it's a beauty not only in form but function. You'll love it,
What a nice little gem. Thank you for sharing with us. I love your in-depth reviews. Great information and quality. Keep up the great work!
"It is stupid to pay that much for a pistol!"...... yet we all don't wear Timex watches, drive Pintos, and live in trailers. ;) The market will dictate what will sell and what will simply be stupid. Buy what you can afford, what you WANT, and based on any personal view on value. We see the same things concerning high end ARs and precision distance rifles. "OMG you could build one yourself for a fraction of the price!!!!" Yup.... you could. And if that is what you want to do, fantastic! ;) Cheers!
Back in 2000 I paid twelve hundred dollars for a Wilson 1911 .45 ACP Protector. That was a lot of money but the investment has paid off. In IDPA and other matches I hold my own with that pistol. I do ok with Glocks, but 1911 is KING.
What a quality pistol!!!! Thx for your review DP!
Thanks Gregory!
That has to be one of the most beautiful Handguns I've have ever seen. Great review Sootch.
Thanks Fairman!
The Wilson Combat EDC X9 oozes beauty and quality!!
Great video Sootch... I've been waiting for more info on this gun to hit the web. I think you're only 4th or 5th video to feature the actual gun. The others are all from the Wilson Team. Thanks for posting. I'm still leaning heavily towards getting one of these and it absolutely will NOT be a safe queen. I will run the shit out of it on the range and carry it daily because Wilson products deserve that.
Keep up the great work with your channels.
Thanks Chuck! I'm with you on this being an actual carry piece. It's the best way to get your moneys worth! LoL!
I appreciate the kind words brother.
sootch and hickcock45 are the best reviewers
I agree. I'm a recent subscriber to scotch, but have been a subscriber to hickok45 for several years, and both are very entertaining and knowledgeable about firearms and their education.
Best, most comprehensive review of a pistol that I have seen on RUclips. Bought one based on this report and love it. Thanks.
That's a Badass gun! Thanks Sootch! God bless!
Thanks Amir!
I just wish Wilson wasn't so damn expensive!
That is great looking firearm. So many guns but not enough funds.
I feel your pain : )
I have watched a lot of your videos and i am really like them.
I have a question for you about the polymer 80% may i have your email? thanks
I bought one of these pistols last month. Well actually ordered it around 5 months ago, but received it last month. I absolutely love this pistol. It is my favorite pistol.
That is about the best looking gun I've ever seen. Wish I had $3,000 laying around!
one of the most beautiful 1911s I have seen in the last 10 years
Great review sootch...best one yet. I own many guns but one is a Wilson Combat and I plan to buy another...maybe the X9. Quality trumps quantity when your life may be on the line. I expect all my guns to function flawlessly or its out the door. They are pricey but what is your life worth....By the way, that gun looks good in your hand.
Thanks Richard! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, it also felt really good in my hands! Lol!
I've never been a Wilson Combat fan, their expensive, their just a gun that I can get 3 -5 others for the price of one of those.... Said me a couple of years ago. Now I am a Wilson Combat lover! So let me tell you why.... I came across one of the EDC~X9's picked it up, looked it over dry fired it (as the Dealer told me to). Popping it up to ready shoot position and was impressed. Decided to buy one and got pissed that I would have to wait. 3 months later it came in, I picked it up bought some junk ammo took it home and shot it. The love affair with Wilson Combat and I started then. I have to eat my words Because IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I now on 2 EDC X~9's Damn it!!! Great review thank you! This hand gun is everything you said it is.
@@dman3526 Hey thanks for the reply, sounds like you are offended by my comment. I get what your saying, but at the end of the day... I now have 3 Wilson Combat pistols and there great! but don't mean I'm going out to buy a Lamborghini bc I like them. my last reply. Good fortunes to you.
Man I'll have to have one of those one of these days. Maybe I can move to Arkansas and be a machinist for Wilson lol.
That looks like a seriously well made pistol. So jealous you got your hands on it and got to dance. Looks a bit big for concealed carry, but for open carry Im sure its about perfect. That trigger sounds amazing.
Great video man, thank you.
Thanks brother! And what a dance it was : )
I absolutely love the outtakes on the end of your videos! The Wilson Combat is an impeccable firearm that is a jaw droppingly expensive! But like you, I do appreciate the craftsmanship of it!
The recoil spring guide has a small hole in the shaft. That is for take down. Check for empty, use the slide stop to lock back the slide, pin the spring guide with an L-shaped paperclip, slow release slide to capture the L clip (slide tension now relieved), line up the now detentioned slide and push out the slide stop (should be much easier), remove slide, remove the recoil assembly as one unit, and remove spring plug and barrel. Should make it much easier to line up the slide notch and slide stop with zero spring tension. Don't have to routinely disassemble the recoil assembly for cleaning, maybe just use compressed air and one drop of oil on the shaft. I upgraded my Colt Officers Model with a similar EGW full length guide flat spring assembly with same take down hole. Came with a small L-shaped tool that can be misplaced so I made two spares out of paper clips and keep them in small parts bags.
my edc wilson is due next month . can't wait!
I recently purchased this pistol in Jan 2019, coming from striker fired pistols and my previous carry pistilol CZ P10, which I love, I can tell you the amazing difference in the incredible quality of this EDC 9X. If you want to treat yourself I would highly recommend this pistol! It was a year of long decision making process for me with massive research into this pistol to justify the investment. I carry this everyday and have NO regrets! Wilson spared no expense in the manufacturing of this pistol.
Great looking pistol!
I want this guy for vice president . Hickok 45 for president . He's got the energy and the charm , Hickok , the experience and the calmness . I just worship them . God bless them both every single second of their natural lives .
Woah buddy, I think that may be the prettiest pistol I've ever seen. I'd love to own one, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to shell out $3k for one...maybe a retirement gift in 30 years lol
Quality comes at a price. In life I have found that Quality in anything, food, clothing, cars, motorcycles, shoes, watches, anything comes at a price. Thank GOD we live in a FREE COUNTRY so we can spend our earned money the way we want to. Amen
Pretty Amazing what Bill Wilson and his team have been able to accomplish in the firearms world. Excellent, Excellent quality pistols he produces.
Wow this is one super nice 1911. I love it! Another fantastic review and vid sootch00!!
Thanks Brother!
I agree with everything you said about this pistol. I have over 700 rounds through mine and absolutely love it.
The grip is overwhelming great the build is amazing the price is non-negotiable lol - great video !!!
The CCW for doctors, lawyers, and CEOs lol.
Best reviewer out there!
So after watching your video last night I couldn't fall asleep and went to buy one. Then I woke up. True story.
If Wilson Combat targeted female shooters and put a Michael Kors logo on it, they would sell out overnight
4 years later.... they sell out overnight already!
MK is chinese junk.
Just a superb review, sir. I think the only thing you failed to mention was the lack of screws on the handels. I'm sure somone else caught it already, but I did not review all the comments. Excellent, and again superb! Thank you, I own one and just love it!
I can't afford to keep watching these videos! 😩
My stomach turned when you rubbed the two guns together!!
Great video. Very expensive pistols but you pay for quality. I carry a glock because I want to and do not fault anyone that would buy this if they could. People complaining about price are the same people that compare a $20 kershaw to a sebenza
Thanks Jay! Exactly~
Well it hurts people pride that some can afford what they can't. If I want one I will figure it out if not oh well it's still my business.
I love Wilson Combat and in fact I'm getting a Classic 5" 1911 in the next 6 months but I couldn't help but chuckle when they said they were using the Glock 19, a $500 gun, as the one they were using as a benchmark. For something comparable I have a CZ75 compact, or if you're looking to save money a Turkish built Tristar C100. It's a $329 Aluminum frame, Glock 19 sized gun with a 14 round capacity. The ergonomics are awesome and it looks amazing
Excellent review on a superb piece of craftsmanship.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Picked mine up today. It is just beautiful. I truly love the grip and the way it feels in my hand. Like it was made just for me.
How do you like carrying it?
this gun is badass but since its $3k its something most of us will never own
It's my first time seeing this gun and fell in love. This is a awesome review of a awesome gun.
That is one beautiful firearm my new dream gun !!!!
This pistol really speaks to my sense of "what is beautiful" in life. Oh my !!
I wonder if Nighthawk Custom will announce a double stack 9mm too
MikeHawke83 STI has the DVC Carry.
I have two Wilsons. The EDC X9 4 inch railed and a 5 inch railed double stack Experior with a red dot sight. They are great guns.
Beautiful.
I have been researching and have been trying to educating myself on fire arms, for past, at least 3 years for what is best, for reliability, accuracy and dependability, etc? Although, there are lot of good brand names out there, this 9mm, by far is the most impressive that I have seen so far. It's seems to be the Mercedes of fire arms if you will ! If you want quality, then you have to pay the price! Very simple. That said, of course, it has lot to do with who is giving the review presentation in a very clear and concise manner; and certainly this review was no exception. "When the euphoria of LOW PRICE long forgotten, the taste of poor quality long remains". Thank you.
That's a damn good lookin gun!
U really done a fine job with this video, I purchased this gun when I retired and it's a reminder that hard work is always the best of show. I'm very happy with it. Awesome pistol !
As always, great reviews!
What, you are sending it back to Wilson?! Send them a check and keep it :)
Awesome in-depth review...thanks.
If i only had 3000 dollars
Josh Hines yes it cost a lot I could build something closer for a cheaper price
D. Smith if you can build something for half Price I will buy!
Here is a good article on the STI Guardian 2011 www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/03/jon-wayne-taylor/gun-review-sti-guardian-9mm-1911/
If, I were to get a 1911 that would be one, that I'd consider.
Agreed. STI's are incredible guns. Still spendy, but they're actually worth it (on my budget)
Josh 3,000 would a good price try about $4.000 it's on their website
Be strong, be of good courage, God bless America, long live the republic and long live Sootch00 !
I like to joke when someone says "that guns expensive"
"Yeah it's a 2k dollar life insurance policy"
How is it a Life insurance policy?
I've only had the opportunity to shoot a Wilson 1911 once. It was the sweetest shooting pistol I've experienced. IMHO, yes, they are worth it.
Legends are myths...
I agree, this one is legendary lol. They are awesome, but not the best ever. I could never afford one (without being negligent To my fatherly obligations).
Thanks for being a good father. That's priceless.
sootch00
You da man don!
You know the kid wants food, shelter, and a good school. Well, maybe not the last one haha.
This is a nice gun. It will do well for the company that clones it, and sells the clone for $800 to $1000.
Michael Wolffs it won’t be up to the same standards.
Man, I need to make more money!
@sootch00 got my hands on some Wilson combat handguns the other day and WOW! Quality is second to none. I was very impressed with the quality and just suction/magnetic comfort ability that the gun feels in your hand(s). I highly recommend that you get your hands on one of these and feel the quality. I didn’t get to shoot them but I would consider a Wilson build in the future. Master craftsmanship makes a difference; especially for those that are serious about their carry and the deployment/functionality of their protection weapon during combat/mitigation deployment. Thanks for the great video!
The gun for lawyers, doctors, and anti-gun politicians that tell you you shouldn't have guns but have some themselves.
I was thinking the same thing
FollowMeInfantry lol spot on man
the jealousy is strong in the gun community.
Hell yeah I'm jealous this thing is nice :D
I'm not jealous of the gun, I'm jealous of the incomes that can afford the MoFo. But, I'm such a skinflint that even if I made the $$ for it, I'd still just get a CZ or a Beretta 96. LOL!
Nice review and Wilson builds a nice gun. Not economical when you could just buy a Cz and a boat load of ammo.
you should get one of STIs double stack 9mm 1911 and compare them to the Wilson
STI makes excellent 1911's. Wheaton Arms uses the STI frames for their 1911 builds so that says a lot. Thanks Jordan.
I took your advice and bought a 9mm barrel from Robbie Wheaton for my G-22. Love it! Thank, Rich
One of the best gun i've seen in years. Its one of those guns even a perp is not worth to be shot with. Lol j/k
Great review.
Thanks Brother!
Sootch00, excellent review, and great video work. Have been studying the EDC X9 since it came out, your review did it justice. Will be making this purchase in a bit.
I'm gonna have to go thru my wife's stuff and sell some so I can get this magnificent beast.
Lol! I like the way you think!
Lmao
Wow! That's a really beautiful looking gun. Great video. (the photography's magnificent) Thanks for showing us the pistol!
Thanks Dave. I really appreciate your comment!
Superb weapon, superb review 👏👏👏
I purchased the Beretta and now wish I would have purchased 2 of them. Excellent firearm.
Holy shit Batman
Excellent review. Love your reviews Don. Most excellent video and information. May you keep making these awesome videos for 40 more years sir. God bless you.
One of my favorite channels but really a $3000 9mm. Just what the "Everyman" needs:(
seems to be about the perfect combination of everything desired in a fighting pistol.
I WANT ONE!!!
Another truly excellent review sootch00!
That is a beautiful pistol indeed...and I will be adding this to my..."when I win the lotto" list!
Thanks brother!
Is a double stack 9 mm 1911 not a Hi Power??
No.
Great detailed video of a work of art. Like others, I just don't understand why everyone feels they have to tip their cap to a G19. Most G19 buyers could never afford this firearm and Wilson buyers are not thinking "should I get the Wilson or the Glock?" Even in the Hickok Sphinx SDP review he compares it to a G19. No comparison whatsoever. Yes, the G19 is popular but only because of reliability and simplicity, it's inferior to firearms like the Wilson ans Sphinx in every other way. Thanks again for the video.
my lube of choice for this gun would have to be ky
In the Costco size
Now that's funny.
Chad Manning Yeah but you use it on yourself! Hahaha just kidding. :-)
Yep, because Bill Wilson is fucking your wallet so hard.
@@grantorino2009 I suspect Mr. WIlson needs to pay for his machinery, workspace, marketing, and gunsmiths, and, still make what capitalists refer to as... a 'profit'!
It's a Beautiful gun and has EVERYTHING I want in a Conceal Carry. But yes, that price is out of my league. Maybe 1 day. Great Review. Great Gun.
