Wilson Combat SFX9 1000 Round Review: Crazy Accuracy In a Small Package

[@gowilsoncombat]

Nice review. The three screws are a feature of the True Zero mounting system. The 4th hole isn't threaded for a screw but is a clearance hole to remove the external extractor.

[@sirjofx]

I am glad WC chimed in because I was going to. I have three of these and that is NOT an optic screw. My guess is someone TRIED to put a screw in there thinking it was missing and broke it 🤣

While I debated over buying a Staccato and came extremely close to buying the P, I deep down wanted to scratch that Wilson Combat itch and instead went with the EDC X9 and have not regretted it. It's been flawless in operation from the word Go. Wilson simply makes some truly magnificent firearms.

@@ABtheMC the edc x9 holds up great to constant in and out of a kydex holster and as far as edc the one I carry still basically looks new after 2 years a ton of carry and shooting. I use an las concealment iwb kydex rig for my edc x9. Love it

[@RockinRack]

I went in for the edc x9 and walked out with a staccato c2... and I kinda regret it. Lol I absolutely hate the staccato grip. It's like holding a slippery 2x4 and I just can't find a way to position my hands to manage recoil the way I can with much cheaper guns. It's very fast, smooth and accurate but none of that matters if I can't maintain a solid grip 😅 Shadow 2 is way better race gun and the m&p 2.0 or ppq/pdp are more practical carry guns that I can shoot much better for 1/5th the price

Better, ehhh When talking Wilson Combat, you are now having a conversation in the car world for shopping between a Honda and a Bentley. Those who cannot shop in the Bentley world, always say that a Hyundai will do the same thing, and yes yes it will, but not in the same league. The quality and craftsmanship between the two are worlds apart. Don't get me wrong, I love to run my Wilson AR, but I beat on my BCM and Delton Frankenstein far more, most of that is because I can afford to break them vs the Wilson, and they are tools, but I am far more conscious about how I do things with the Wilson. I know I shouldn't but it is what it is.

@@HonestOutlawReviews an honest mistake that is very understandable. Wilson makes these super easy to work on . I have two, and the only thing I dont like is things like safeties you cannot just buy off the website . Many parts you can, but they want to fit the safety and slide stops. Not really sure why that is, they would be no harder to fit than any of their 1911 parts ( I dont think- but maybe Im missing something)

[@gair1944]

Would love to see Honest Outlaw do an A-B comparison of the Wilson SFX9 compared directly to the Stacatto CS in an equivalent configuration. (RDS on each) Looks like the bore axis is lower on the Wilson and the grip may be slimmer for carry since it is a one-piece frame. Great review.

[@ABtheMC]

Yes, which one of the two would be best for concealed carry in the two main carry positions (appendix and 4 o’clock). The CS is a 3.5 inch barrel and the SFX9 has the 3.25 so I think those two would be the most comparable (especially the one with the 10 round magazine with 15 round magazine included (which give the owner more options and little downside). Would love to see that video and get thoughts! 🔥🔥

I carry my WC SFX9 4’’ and truly love it. I also love that the magazines are significantly cheaper then 2011 magazines. Before purchasing, I discovered that balancing the cost for everything and while the equivalent Staccato pistol is cheaper, the magazines pushes it over the price of the SFX9 (Depending on how many magazines you decide to purchase). In my case, once a magazine goes bad, I replace it so that I always have ones I can rely on so that pushed the SFX9 higher on my priority list.

I have the 3.25 inch sfx9 that was given to me by a family member shortly before he passed away. I have owned and still own many handguns and this is by far my favorite to shoot. I will never part with it for centimental reasons. I have a Glock 19, 43x,, fn reflex and 45 tactical , a p365, 365x and have owned many other guns over the years and nothing comes close to feeling as good in my hand as the sfx9. The finish and accuracy of this is amazing. I would have never paid that much for a gun before shooting this but if something happened to it I would do whatever it took to repair or replace it

[@johnshepherd9676]

I had an opportunity to buy one but it had the 5" barrel and I wanted a 4" for carry. I am a fan of the grip safety because when it is sitting in the holster with the manual safety disengaged it is still safe. It does not bother me that it doesn't have the grip safety you just carry it cocked and locked. I carried a BHP for many years so I am used to it.

[@NigelDeForrest-Pearce-cv6ek]

Value, Like Beauty, is in the Eye of the Beholder!!!

[@jaceprovo]

I have thousands of rounds through my Wilson SFX 9 3.25 with Armor Tuff. It’s my EDC. I took me a little to get used to hump on the grip but now I am used to it. Mine came with a 4 pound trigger that I had lowered to 2 1/2 pounds. Never had a misfire. The super short barrel means you have to concentrate on pulling the trigger but I can get really great accuracy. It’s so beautifully rounded everywhere that it is amazingly comfortable to carry 15+1 with a flush mag. I consider this to be the benchmark for subcompact 1911s. It is what the CS hopes to be someday.

[@ABtheMC]

Did you try the 10/15 round option? I thinking of that one due to it giving more concealment option for the 4 O’clock position (which is where I carry).

The grip safety on a 1911 is also a drop safety because it blocks the search from moving. In place of this lack of a grip safety according to a Wilson Combat agent they use an "Xtra Xtra power firing pin spring" to make it drop safe. Fun Fact: Wilson was inspired by the Star Fire Star series of pistols particularly the "compact" 9mm models with alloy frames. I used to dream of a fairly affordable handgun with no grip safety, the slide look of a 1911 and an alloy frame (because CZ compacts have thin slides). Years after the X9 series gets made, everything I wanted other than the price.

[@alursino3213]

Great video!! FYI, Unfortunately neither my Gun shop or myself were able to purchase an ambi safety for the sfx9 from WC. It’s actually a proprietary thumb safety that will only be installed by their armorers. That was a bummer. I’m guessing it’s a liability thing. The front right plate hole is for access, not for a screw so what u saw wasn’t a broken screw. Also the front sight fell off. QC may need some attention. All in all the sfx9 is a phenomenal pistol that is soooo reliably accurate Had a few hiccups with my C2 but of the box but after that the gun runs great as well. WC, not a bobble from the start.

[@highxj]

Regarding the safety, you actually CAN'T change it yourself. It's a proprietary part, different from standard 19/2011 format safeties, and Wilson won't sell you one to fit yourself. You have to send the gun in, which is a major bummer and costs nearly $300 all said and done with shipping.

I have an SFX9 full size. I purchased mine new and found that the gun shot a little low. I purchased an adjustable sight for both elevation and windage from Wilson Combat and tried to remove the stock sight to install the new one. The stock rear sight would not budge. It would not move using a heavy duty sight pusher. It would not move when using brass punch and hammer. I contacted WC and explained the problem and sent the slide and new sight in to them for installation....which they did...and charged me for it. The sent me my slide back to me loose in a cardboard box. The box had a small piece of bubble wrap in it that was not even wrapped around the slide and about 75% of the bubbles in it were deflated...probably from the slide bouncing around during shipment. When I went to adjust the windage on the new sight, it, too, would not budge. I came to find out that there was some kind of adhesive that they use that apparently cemented it in place so that it would not move. I ended up using MEK to dissolve the adhesive in order make adjustments. Customer service was less than satisfactory.

I informed him he would be getting stuck in open class shooting against $7k open guns making major. So then he moved to CZ to have different class options. Now USPSA has Limited Optic division, where this gun would still be at a disadvantage. Fortunately Wilson is selling it as a carry gun, he has probably 4000 rounds through it and yes it is near flawless.

Between the SFX9 and Staccato CS, which has the more comfortable grip for your sized hands?

[@robinstephen3084]

how does the recoil impulse of the sfx9 compare to the staccato cs? which is snappier would you say

[@ericbertoch673]

Have one of the original X9’s and I absolutely loved it! Kinda interested in the SFT 9 (4 1/4” Commander length). 🤔

[@RickheadWashington]

Myself I hate grip safeties. Usually pin them, but I would rather have it not there all together. Those are really nice guns. I would carry it for sure.

nice KZ shirt

[@michaellyon4138]

Great review as always. If you had to pick between the Stacatto C2 and this SFX9 I wonder which you would personally pick?

[@kmofficial8108]

Need a comparison video of this pistol alongside the CS, Platypus, and Alpha Foxtrot

What a bad boy!

Interesting use of the "fourth hole", I'm lucky to get a screw in 2 holes. Take what you can get, I guess.

I would like to send my 3.25 sfx9 in for an optic cut . It’s an amazing pistol .

[@johnescobar5054]

i had an edx9 was best firearm i ever owned. 10k rounds o malfunctions. sold it for 2k. bought an sfx9 malfunction 5 times per 100 rounds a complete dissapointment didnt even want to send it to wilson just sold it. Just sharing the data

[@brandonsmith606]

I've been looking at wilson they are expensive but so sweet

[@oddballgunman5288]

Not sure if you have seen or heard of the Stealth Arms Platypus, but I'd love to see you do a review of it. I'd also like to see the way you choose to customize it being that you can basically build it however you want it and cerekote almost everything on it.

As an owner of a G19, I totally agree with your assessment. I shot my friends hair trigger 1911 and I was faster & more accurate with the 1911 iron sights than my G19 with a dot.

Some day I’ll buy a Wilson Combat, unfortunately I want one of everything so the safes are full and the budget is low lol
