[@jvz1448]

Should I sell my C2 and buy this hmmm

[@MrKbaz]

@@jvz1448 Exactly what I did. Bought this exact one in black on black with an RMR. Price is crazy until you shoot one. I also find slightly more comfortable to carry than the C2 even though they are very close in size. I am now looking at dumping my sub compacts and adding a 3.25” without RMR for tough to conceal situations, shorts and t shirt, etc. C2 is awesome, this is just the next level up.

I have been playing with an EDC X9 that my dealer has for a few months. Right beside it was a DW Specialist in 9. Finally made up my mind and took home the Dan Wesson. Love the Wilson, the build quality is impeccable, the curve of the back of the grip slightly bothersome... in today’s market it is definitely worth the 2600 bucks.

I have the SFX9, 3.25 - got a layaway plan on gunbroker, now it’s on my hip every day. I’m a kitchen rat so anyone can cop one if I can. It is hard to argue with an 18 rd magazine for CCW. No complaints whatsoever. But my Dan Wesson Vbob is on its way back to the facility for repairs!!!

[@ronmccants8678]

As usual you nailed it, as build quality goes, I’ve always seen the Wilson guns as the Cadillac of US made guns, still leaving room for the Roll’s and Benz and everything in between. The fit and finish of any gun is my gauge, then watching Chris drive nails from 50 & 100 yards out seal’s the deal. Still waiting for Mrs Outlaw to shoot it as I’ve come to respect her opinion. Being an old fart, if she can handle the recoil, so can I 😃 I can still handle my 1911’s but they hurt 😞 the next day. Who am I fooling, my Beretta 92 hurts too! Guess it’s just meant for me to live vicariously through straight forward channels like this one. Thanks for your great content!

I just purchased one. Out of the box I am extremely impressed. Feels great to shoot. Much better than the X9S which I quickly sold. Feels different than my eXperior commander 4.25”. Different grip (as there are no panels) and lighter weight. Overall, a solid carry option.

Hey Chris, I’m a long haul trucker and loyal subscriber. Your vid’s help to pass the long time on the road. Here’s a suggestion, do reviews on guns in different calibers. I’m looking at getting at .45 or 10mm. And the research has my head spinning. What’s your opinion? Dude, I’ll take yours over most, as your reviews are no BS. Asking for Taurus and Springfield… for a friend. 😂 Anyway, that’s what I’d like to see. Thanks for all you do man, it does make a difference. Safe shooting 👊🏻

[@mattschmitt9924]

@@BrianWood777 I do not have a crystal ball, but I think all these necked down pistol rounds like the 5.7 and 357 sig are the future. Realistically probably polymer cases as well. 10mm is a fine round and probably not going anywhere soon.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Depends on your purpose, if it’s for bears then 10mm if it’s for threats of the 2 leg variety go 9mm for the capacity. 9mm has enough punch to reliably get the penetration required and maximizes the capacity. I’d rather have 15 rounds and only need 6 then have 6 and need 7.

@@jaydunbar7538 I live in a state that, unfortunately, only lets me have 10 rounds cap. It sucks! Can’t wait to leave this place but work and my son keeps me here, for now.

Wilson Combat pistols will always top 99% of all handguns no matter who makes them, even Staccato.

[@JMF4CZ]

It looks like a great carry/duty with a 4" barrel gun, but there are too many highly reliable alternatives that are half its price. I don't think I could justify replacing my $1,200 p226 legion with this gun, with money not even being part of the consideration. Other than failed primers, I've not had a malfunction in over 2500 rounds. I'm not into competition and I think my Shadow 2 and souped up Tanfo Stock III fit my needs for accuracy at half the price. That said, I can't hit out past 25 yards on a regular basis with these 60-year-old eyes. Chris is an amazing shooter.

At 6:00 said fiber optic front sight with black out rear sight is probably the best, but at 6:23 said if will keep probably (keep red dot) and switch red front sight to black out. The reason I bring this up is consider getting optics cut on next 9mm. One issue is the Chicago suburbs ranges limit pistol shooting to 25yards.

I must admit Chris, when I bought this gun (no rail) I thought I spent way to much $$ $2,600 out the door. Had it for five months, over 600 rounds thru it and not 1 glitch. Not 1. I purchased a Wilson combat leather OWB holster and will carry this beutie as soon as I put another few hundred rounds thru it. This and my Langdon Edition 92G are my 2 favorite guns. Stay safe.

[@wesleyhobbs9]

Did you put a red dot on it? If not, did you have any issues shooting low like a lot of people do? Would you recommend night sights or the fiber optic site?

[@anthonyross9276]

Love that 130yd shot location! We do the same thing up here in MN depending on what fields in corn,beans or hay! We are a bit more hilly up here so that helps for backstops.

[@willbrink]

I have the SFT9, and the two get confusing. They do have various differences, but they are getting confusing with all the new models. I'd like to hear the decision process on the external extractor for the SFX9 and traditional internal extractor for the SFT9 in particular. The T9 is laser beam accurate and dead reliable so far.

[@Mangoholder]

As usual, AMAZING review. Can't stress enough how much I respect your opinion and how guns you pick apart fall right off my potential purchases! I can't wait for the 1000 round review! If that comes in without any negatives, I might just have to pick one of these beauties up!

[@rickriccardi9643]

I agree, I have 5 high end 2011's. I love how Nighthawk TRS Comp uses their IOS system with normal sized front and rear sights. Plus, Nighthawk goes one step further and put a rear sight in front of the RMR, so you get the whole window. I did learn that all Nighthawk guns are the same as Wilson Combat Signature series. There is more hand fitting with their signature series,hence the higher price tag. If you really want to try something special, see if someone will let you try the Nighthawk TRS Comp, OMG!!

Unfortunately I also watched your CMMG Dissent video and the STI has to go on the backburner since I love the wilson and really like the concept of the the Dissent(Of course I have DD PDW and Omega 300 in jail right now). My Dan Wesson Valor has been dethroned. Definitely the finest handgun I have ever had the pleasure to own. The first day out my baby hands were not fond of the metal grips but it has been over a month and I absolutely love it.
