If I’m being honest, I was a little skeptical when Wilson Combat asked me to review the EDC X9 2.0 double-stack 9mm pistol. The playing field for 9mm EDC handguns is already overcrowded.\u00a0 It didn’t seem likely that they could disrupt the market with a double-stack handgun that would change my mind about the way I carry. The results are in. The bar has been raised. It will be hard for any manufacturer to top this carry gun. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let me be clear, this isn’t only my opinion. Several industry professionals and I shot the EDC X9 2.0 using different types of ammunition, including hollow points and full metal jackets. Not only did it run great, but it was also super accurate. With the compensator, it was unbelievably flat shooting. No one at the range that day wanted to put this gun down. I spent considerable time shooting this gun, drawing from concealment, and comparing it to other double-stack 1911 carry-style pistols. Without being hyperbolic, it\u2019s now in my top three favorite pistols that I\u2019ve ever shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes this handgun special? I’ll get into that in the review below.<\/p>\n

What Is The EDC X9 2.0 Pistol?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Wilson Combat launched the EDC X9 in 2016, eventually making some changes and introducing the 2.0 version. This version introduced an all-new solid frame design. Its compact aluminum X-frame is beneficial for concealed carry, helping reduce recoil and improve accuracy. The EDC X9 2.0 now allows for interchangeable Classic 1911-style grips, allowing you to customize the grip to your preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are various models of the X9 2.0 design pistol. It can come with a 5-inch barrel, a 4-inch barrel, or a 3.25-inch barrel. It is optional to upgrade to a compensator. Furthermore, if you aren\u2019t familiar with the <\/span>Wilson Combat custom shop<\/span><\/a>, the world is your oyster. They offer various finishes, custom checkering\/serrations\/stippling, engraving, unique beavertails, and different guide rods. Choose from mag wells, various safeties, ambidextrous options, and much more. When people talk about Wilson Combat, they don\u2019t often realize they can truly build a one-of-a-kind gun.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gun I tested was the 3.25-inch barrel pistol with the compensator. It came with a flared mag well, a railed frame, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. The Trijicon SRO was mounted on an optic plate without a rear sight (which I prefer).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They also sent magazines set up with extended base pads for added capacity. The flush fitting magazines hold 15 rounds, and the extended hold 18 rounds. It had the Black Cherry Wilson Combat grips for an added pop of color.<\/span><\/p>\n
