Wilson's are definitely worth the money, you do get what you pay for. BUT, a more normal priced option that I have and love, and is very similar in form and IMO performance, the CZ P-01 Omega (convertible). I run it with the thumb safety installed so the manual of arms is basically the same as the X9. Never one malfunction, very accurate and the ergos of the CZ 75 platform are some of the best out there.

Great review. I own a EDC X9 and it is my favorite and most reliable pistol. You may want to point out that it has external extractor, no grip screws to come loose, and that the barrel locks up on the hood vice 2 lugs like a 1911. 6k plus rounds zero issues with all types of ammo.

@chriseads69795 жыл бұрын
You may want to add to the next video that most people do not have just one gun and need to make it work for carry and range sessions. There are way better choices for carry. I would add that I bought this because of all the good things it retains from 1911 such as single action trigger. I did it more because it does not have the bad. The edc x9 has better reliability as it locks up via the barrel hood and not 2 lugs. No barrel bushing, no grip screws, no grip safety, external extractor which has always been the Achilles heel of the 1911. This is my range gun first and can also be carried or used for home defense. Buy a gun because you like it not because you have to carry it before all else. Edc is the most reliable and accurate gun I have ever owned.

Having owned both, here are my thoughts. Both are well built, equally accurate and very reliable. The Wilson in my opinion is of higher quality, more refined and is finished better, it’s also considerably more expensive. If I were going to concealed carry one of these guns everyday, I would choose the Wilson given the fact it is smaller, lighter and overall more compact. If I were looking for a home defense, range or duty gun I would choose the Staccato P. Either way you can’t go wrong, both are awesome guns!

The Star Firestar was way ahead of its time. Compact in 9mm, 40 S&W and .45 ACP. It was the 1991 Guns & Ammo Handgun of the year. It had a lot of the features newer guns are now catching up to. Single action only, Single stack magazine very compact, no grip safety. Dual thumb safeties that can be engaged while cycling the slide, all steel construction, hard chrome finish, cone barrel and slide inside rails like a Sig 210 or CZ75. Also very reliable. Too bad Star went out of business. You can pick up one in very good condition for around $400 or less. Springfield Armory EMP and Kimber Solo, even this Wilson and Kimber Micro, seem to be more expensive legacies to the Star Firestar. If you are looking for an improved micro 1911 the Star Firestar is a good choice. Another interesting history look up Detonics line of Small 1911 style guns that preceded the Colt Officer's ACP. Very cool custom grade guns. But now they are collectors items.

This is a beautiful gun, no doubt. It is also a joy to take apart a clean because the quality of the components is very high. However, I have not had the greatest shooting experience with my copy. Although the uptake for the trigger is short and there is a defined wall, which I really like, I was surprised to find that sometimes the uptake feels gritty. In addition, I find the trigger on mine to be far too heavy (more explanation on that later). Finally, over the course of about 600 rounds (one thorough cleaning at 300 rounds) I have had about 7 failures to go into battery. In summary, so far I don't feel like my copy is reliable enough for carry and for a range gun the trigger is too heavy. I don't have a gauge but my guess would be 4 to 4.5 pounds. For a range gun (which is what this gun is for me because I don't feel like I can trust it) I like a very light trigger pull of 2.5 to 3 pounds. I am going to do some trigger adjustments to get mine down in that area but if I can't I think this thing is going on Gunbroker. Thought I'd throw out an alternative experience. This is just my opinion and desired trigger pull is subjective. If I were to do it all over again, I would look really carefully at the STI Staccato as an alternative.

KS----no doubt its a beauty, and it would be something else to shoot..........but for the average guy to spend 2800.00 you could get a duty size, EDC size, pocket gun, and a 357 revolver...I would take the multi average guy guns over one elite guys gun..........that said if you have the money enjoy this beauty

Well said Russ. You can just about fill a safe for $3000, lol. That said the WC was an awesome experience. I hate to have to send it back. Thank you and cheers brother!

I love the look and feel of this gun , but can't justify the price tag and I think there's better actual EDC guns , especially in my state where I'm limited to 10 rounds . You should talk 1776 into getting g one , maybe if he sells all his guns , the he can buy one :):)
@KSGunGuy015 жыл бұрын
I totally understand where you are coming from and the 10 round restriction would certainly seal the “no go” on this. Something tells me 17 won’t be getting into one of these anytime soon. Thank you and cheers Bald!

Way to go KS u outlined one of my favorite guns. Price keeps this out of my hands also the fact I carry appendix and I would not be comfortable with the hammer back without a grip safety :(. I did not see in your review if it had a short cocked hammer safety Great review
@KSGunGuy015 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I imagine this would be a chore to carry appendix. As for the half cock, yes it does have one. Hopefully that answers your question. Thank you and cheers Sam!

So, when you said up front it was expensive, I took a guess on the price. I couldn't believe when you said the actual price that it was DOUBLE what I had guessed. It looks nice, but that's WAY too rich for my blood.

I believe it’s 12 rounds native rather than the 10 in the original 365. It also has a loner slide, similar to the G48 or Shield 4 inch. Not sure how accurate any of that is since its all rumor right now. Thank you and cheers Steve!
