Wilson Combat EDC X9

The car analogy works. You can only drive one at a time. Pagani knows buyers don't want a Camry (or already have 1). The only thing the cars have in common is they drive you somewhere on 4 wheels and run on gasoline.

People on a car forum should be able to discuss expensive cars without people spamming about how they can buy 6 Toyotas instead. No shit I can do math too. This is not a $3000 Glock thread. I don't think I post in those though.

And the P10c is hardly a known baseline.

Capt. Slow obviously. Sadly, Michael is probably never going to recover from his skiing accident.

BTW, most people probably couldn't successfully start a Pagani, much less get it off the line.

For me, it's not that I dislike bull barrels so much as I want a tool-free GI 1911 field strip. If they made it like a USP/P2000/P30, BHP, CZ 75, &c., that would be fine, too. But it looks like a bushingless bull barrel 1911. Which means tools. Which means... blech.

I've had these exact thoughts too. I really want toolless take down.

The Sig single action only competition pistols are a recognition of this phenomenon and need, but they, too, are burdened by serious heft and are relegated to target pistols.

Frankly, I am stunned that no one (besides I guess the Cz Omega P series) has tried to produce an SAO hammer fired polymer framed hand gun running on a modified 1911 trigger system. Maybe they have, and I am just profoundly ignorant.

There's clearly a market need.

There have been 9mm 2011s made for a long time... Many of them have polymer frames.

Unless I'm mistaken what he means, Wilson already had such a pistol in the Spec Op 9. I didn't love the ergos, but other then that, it was all you'd expect from a Wilson product in my view.

The EDC X9 uses a tool-less guide rod. Per Wilson Combat Rep, the rod is 90% length and comes out of the slide like a Beretta or a Glock guide rod.

I've always wanted a Wilson. Wouldn't have guessed that my first will be a 9mm though. Maybe I'll sell a dozen Glocks so some of you can have a glove box gun for every Camry you own.....

Ahh. My bad. Wilson Combat Rep stated "The gun has a toolless takedown - The rod is 90% length and comes in and out like a guide rod in a Glock or a Beretta."
