Launched in 2016, the EDC X9 rapidly rose to popularity, merging the timeless design of the 1911 with the cutting-edge features that modern shooters demand.
The X-Frame
Designed by Bill Wilson and Wilson Combat engineers, the X-frame is a 15-round, high capacity 9mm 1911 frame that is similar in size to a traditional compact, single stack 1911. The X-frame is machined at Wilson Combat 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. The EDC X9 15-round, double-column magazine was developed jointly with Mec-Gar, the industry leader in double-column magazine design.
The Enhanced Reliability System
The EDC X9 slide assembly is from our single stack EDC 9 pistol with Wilson Combat's ERS "Enhanced Reliability System" for 9mm 1911's. The ERS is tailored to the varying power level of 9mm ammunition and maintains impressive reliability in all conditions, even when heavily fouled and low on lubrication. Other features include a Tri-Top slide profile with user-replaceable front sight, a single lug tapered cone match-grade 1911 barrel, rear Tactical Adjustable Battlesight, and a rugged, user-serviceable external extractor.
