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. Other features include a Tri-Top slide profile with user-replaceable front sight, rear tactical adjustable battlesight, single lug tapered cone match-grade barrel, 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.

The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity. — Craig Boddington
