Wilson Combat's EDC X9 is an everyday carry, 1911 with match-grade accuracy, superior ergonomics, and concealability with modern service pistol capacity and reliability. It is a hybrid of Wilson's EDC 9 1911 slide assembly with a high-capacity X-frame. The slide assembly features ERS "Enhanced Reliability System". The ERS is tailored to the varying power level of 9mm ammunition and maintains impressive reliability in all conditions. "Black Edition" engraved on right side, all parts black in color and front sight is tritium with orange outline.
Other features include a Tri-Top slide profile with user-replaceable front sight, rear tactical adjustable battlesight, single lug tapered cone match-grade barrel, ambi safety and a rugged, user-serviceable external extractor. The screwless, X-frame is machined from T6-7075 aluminum and accepts a high capacity magazine with a grip that is smaller in circumference than a standard 1911 while retaining traditional 1911 controls. It uses hammer spring tension to keep the aggressive traction Wilson/VZ G-10 starburst pattern grips securely in place. The X-frame also features a small backstrap and medium trigger pad. The front and back strap are machined with the Wilson Combat X-Tac tread pattern which provides a tactile but nonabrasive grip. Included are two 15-round magazines.
