Wilson Combat EDC X9 2.0

The Wilson Combat EDC X9 was launched in 2016 and became a popular choice for concealed carry, merging the timeless design of the 1911 with modern features like cutting-edge materials and a double-stack magazine. Now Wilson Combat is introducing the new EDC X9 2.0, which builds upon the foundation of its predecessor.

Like the original model, EDC X9 2.0 is a single-action, 1911-style pistol with a 15-round magazine. The pistol is constructed using a high-capacity, compact, aluminum X-Frame designed to offer full-size performance in a compact package. Wilson Combat’s quality are legendary in the gun industry, and the EDC X9 2.0 combines that history with improvements made to enhance accuracy and reduce recoil. Yet, the new EDC X9 3.0 is still small and lightweight enough to be an everyday carry gun.

The EDC X9 2.0 features new, interchangeable 1911 style grips. These screw-on grips help you quickly fine-tune your set up and feel great in the hand, allowing you to create a gun that fits your shooting style. The EDC X9 2.0 also carries over other features from the original model, like a 4-inch stainless steel barrel, X-TAC front and rear cocking serrations, 30 LPI slide top serrations, a fiber optic front sight and a 3.5 to 4.5 pound trigger pull.
