I have over 11,000 rounds though this pistol as of this filming. And while we are obviously VERY pleased with the Wilson Combat EDC X9L and how it runs, I would be remiss if didn’t express to the viewer some changes I would do differently if given the chance.
Nothing earth shattering. And no criticisms of Wilson here. These feelings are more a reflection of some incorrect assumptions I brought to the table when spec’ing out the gun. While others were my ignorance in understanding Wilson’s default feature set.
Bottom line: Everything on this list is very, very petty. And the proof of that is I am 100% unwilling to give this gun up for even a day to make these changes.
Why? Because this gun is THE GUN and I think so highly of it, any day without it is like a day without sunshine. I know. I know. That made you giggle. But I’m kinda not kidding either.
Sincerely,
Marky
