[00:00:19.03]
- Hey buddy,

[00:00:20.02]
it's Mark Baron and Hans

[00:00:22.00]
with Arms and Arms

[00:00:23.01]
and we are looking today

[00:00:24.09]
at the Wilson Combat EDC X

[00:00:29.00]
which I seem to forget every
single time nine right?

[00:00:34.03]
A gun I really really really wanna love.

[00:00:38.02]
I'm not quite there.

[00:00:39.07]
So that's,

[00:00:40.05]
there's the short review right?

[00:00:43.07]
I'm a huge fan of the segment of 1911's

[00:00:45.08]
and 2011's specifically 2011's

[00:00:47.05]
the wide body 1911's
and I that's oh my god,

[00:00:49.09]
that's what I love.

[00:00:51.02]
And so here comes this you know,

[00:00:53.05]
'been out a couple years now

[00:00:54.05]
but here comes this kind of
like really interesting package

[00:00:59.01]
with a lot of the characteristics
of a wide body 1911,

[00:01:02.06]
engineered by a company that you know

[00:01:04.01]
is very good at this
which is Wilson Combat

[00:01:06.02]
not only are they good at making 1911's

[00:01:08.01]
but they're really good
at like their take on

[00:01:10.07]
the brigadiere you know

[00:01:12.01]
we've got the Beretta pistols

[00:01:14.07]
and even some Glocks right?

[00:01:15.09]
And they've done some
interesting things right?

[00:01:17.02]
- In 320s now which was super cool.

[00:01:19.02]
- Interesting we'll
have to check that out.

[00:01:20.08]
So here's this like
kind of concept pistol,

[00:01:23.06]
which is like the carry variant.

[00:01:26.00]
You know really like,

[00:01:26.08]
for those of you who aren't you know,

[00:01:29.08]
or near low more capacity

[00:01:31.04]
or whatever,

[00:01:32.02]
like this is really a carry pistol.

[00:01:33.08]
I think that's the market
they're going after.

[00:01:35.05]
- The everyday carry.

[00:01:36.04]
- Yeah the everyday gun right?

[00:01:37.06]
And you know looking at someone
like me who like you know,

[00:01:42.00]
I don't think anyone
would make an argument

[00:01:43.02]
that I don't think highly of myself right?

[00:01:45.02]
Like I'm fine with that.

[00:01:46.06]
I got that.

[00:01:47.05]
And I like a little flashy gun you know

[00:01:49.06]
years I carried a shield,

[00:01:51.06]
because it was like in my waistband

[00:01:54.02]
and I just stopped doing that

[00:01:55.09]
because frankly it's
just isn't cool enough.

[00:01:58.02]
- Agreed.

[00:01:59.00]
- And I it's like there's
always the whole thing

[00:02:00.04]
we're like it's okay to say like

[00:02:02.00]
"if you just like
something 'cause it's cool

[00:02:04.09]
go for it"

[00:02:05.09]
like his reviews are you know

[00:02:07.05]
opinions of a pistol at a time

[00:02:09.02]
if you love this thing,

[00:02:10.03]
this is the one for you I mean,

[00:02:11.06]
you can always nothing fancy
calls this thing kind of cool.

[00:02:14.07]
you can always throw that down right?

[00:02:16.08]
- Yeah I suppose.

[00:02:18.05]
- Yeah right?

[00:02:20.03]
So anyway here's a DCX9.

[00:02:23.03]
So this is the first chance I've had

[00:02:25.05]
to really really play with one of these.

[00:02:27.06]
And

[00:02:29.00]
(gun bangs)

[00:02:31.03]
I was a little underwhelmed.

[00:02:33.04]
Just a little right?

[00:02:34.05]
I guess I kind of wanted this to be like,

[00:02:37.08]
everything I ever wanted and it's closed.

[00:02:40.04]
Really really really closed.

[00:02:41.05]
I think the ergos are great right?

[00:02:43.04]
It's a very comfortable gun to shoot.

[00:02:45.04]
(gun clicks)

[00:02:46.02]
It feels awesome in the hand,

[00:02:47.01]
it looks fantastic.

[00:02:48.05]
It would look amazing
hand off your nice piece

[00:02:50.09]
of leather look fantastic right?

[00:02:52.04]
And it shoots great.

[00:02:54.00]
That's I wouldn't expect any less

[00:02:55.09]
from the company that does this.

[00:02:58.00]
It just didn't shoot like
remarkably well for me.

[00:03:00.06]
It just shot well right?

[00:03:02.01]
And so I think under like stress

[00:03:05.06]
I would have had a very similar experience

[00:03:07.00]
with a hot rod and Glock.

[00:03:09.02]
- Yep.

[00:03:11.01]
- And their thousand bucks

[00:03:12.01]
and this thing starts at three right?

[00:03:13.09]
But when we have here is pretty

[00:03:16.06]
you know milk toast as it relates to this

[00:03:18.04]
is a whole lot upgrades on this one

[00:03:20.02]
we've seen them in the 3500 range

[00:03:22.00]
3600 range with some different toys on it.

[00:03:24.03]
I thought the sight picture was fantastic.

[00:03:26.06]
I am a fan of the four inch

[00:03:28.00]
or the shorter gun especially

[00:03:30.00]
for carry so the presentation is great

[00:03:32.01]
there's anexcellent
amount of like daylight

[00:03:33.08]
between the left and right
posts I could see my front sight

[00:03:36.01]
like in really bury that
front sight on what I want

[00:03:39.08]
still have a pretty clear sight picture,

[00:03:41.08]
I liked all that

[00:03:43.03]
because of the ergos are good.

[00:03:44.05]
The look is fantastic,

[00:03:45.07]
These Butler cuts up front are stunning.

[00:03:48.02]
And it would do all the
things I wanted to do.

[00:03:53.02]
I guess what it comes
down to for me is this

[00:03:55.04]
am I gonna carry this pistol?

[00:03:56.08]
(gun clickes)

[00:03:57.06]
I just I don't think I would.

[00:03:59.07]
I think at $3,000

[00:04:00.09]
the performance wasn't
there for me to like,

[00:04:03.03]
push myself outside of a cool,

[00:04:04.07]
I would go to four and
I would carry something,

[00:04:07.09]
you know like a Knicks
or something like that

[00:04:09.09]
or one of these kind of
super high end pistols.

[00:04:11.07]
You know at that point if I'm spending

[00:04:13.04]
three grand on a pistol
it's for that big a deal.

[00:04:16.05]
So you know I'm kind of a man on this,

[00:04:20.00]
I'm gonna reserve right

[00:04:21.01]
'cause I still think I'm a thumbs up

[00:04:23.01]
'cause you can't really mean ultimately,

[00:04:25.03]
this is it was four degrees
outside or five degrees outside.

[00:04:29.01]
This is a pistol that historically

[00:04:31.09]
these types of guns don't run

[00:04:33.02]
that great and in really
crappy conditions like that.

[00:04:36.08]
It ran flawlessly for three people.

[00:04:38.08]
I mean we put a few
hundred rounds through it.

[00:04:40.05]
So it's hard for me to
ever be like anything less

[00:04:43.02]
than a man for a gun that runs right.

[00:04:46.04]
But I would have a little
trouble going all in

[00:04:50.06]
on this pistol at this price point.

[00:04:52.08]
So that's kind of my my
beginning assessment of it.

[00:04:55.07]
So Baron.

[00:04:56.09]
- I get the super contrast that'll be

[00:04:58.04]
- yeah

[00:04:59.02]
- So the BBCX9 to be a super cool

[00:05:02.07]
because it to me it's finally
an evolution of the 1911

[00:05:07.06]
and I'm a Smith I love 1911.

[00:05:10.08]
I don't think there's
well you won't convince me

[00:05:14.06]
there's a platform that
can be more accurate

[00:05:17.00]
than a 1911 and a handgun.

[00:05:18.05]
Like there's just so much
introduced to those guns

[00:05:20.08]
and I mean,

[00:05:21.09]
you watch any review video
ever the gonna compare

[00:05:25.03]
the trigger on their pistol to a good 1911

[00:05:27.06]
or even an average 1911

[00:05:29.02]
- Yeah.

[00:05:30.00]
- You know a crappy 1911 triggers better

[00:05:32.00]
than a good striker fire trigger you know,

[00:05:34.02]
with this you're getting
the modern features

[00:05:38.02]
plugged into that heritage right.

[00:05:42.01]
So I've still got the linear trigger,

[00:05:44.05]
which is part of the reason

[00:05:45.06]
that people love the
1911 is the trigger moves

[00:05:47.09]
in a straight line instead of a hinge.

[00:05:49.08]
It's just a lot easier
to engineer and trigger.

[00:05:54.03]
You know you still have
your manual thumb safety

[00:05:57.05]
that's really easy to ride on.

[00:05:58.07]
It uses a gas pedal

[00:05:59.07]
But now we've started to add things

[00:06:02.00]
like double stack
magazines without making it

[00:06:04.09]
a much larger pistol like getting into

[00:06:06.03]
your wide your true wide body 1970s

[00:06:08.09]
your 20th is this isn't that

[00:06:09.07]
this is its own thing ground up

[00:06:10.05]
built to be the carry modern
1911 style gun I think.

[00:06:17.00]
You know you can get it with a railer

[00:06:18.06]
without depending on
you know if you kill you

[00:06:21.03]
with a lighter if you
just like that the look of

[00:06:23.05]
that classic 1911 with
the rounded dust cover

[00:06:26.02]
I can get a red dot on this gun

[00:06:28.04]
I can change out what my backstrap sizes

[00:06:31.09]
I can change the trigger
length I can get an ambi safety

[00:06:34.03]
I can not like you have all
those those other features

[00:06:36.08]
that you're like current
polymer guns can add in

[00:06:39.03]
but plugged into a gun

[00:06:40.09]
that I think absolutely
shoots like a $3,000 pistol

[00:06:44.05]
you know when I but you
know pushed out broke

[00:06:46.07]
the first shot like yep cool,

[00:06:48.03]
decide shoot where I wanted to.

[00:06:49.09]
And then I broke another couple of them

[00:06:51.06]
like well half this
gun tracks really well.

[00:06:55.03]
Then I just you know I
we had a heaps of target

[00:06:58.00]
and then a piece of steel

[00:06:58.08]
and just the doing
transitions between those two

[00:07:01.07]
it's really easy to shoot this gun.

[00:07:04.05]
And then I think I shot like six

[00:07:07.03]
or seven rounds at the
end just put it on target

[00:07:09.05]
and just ran with the gun feed

[00:07:10.07]
and it just stayed there
where I wanted it to.

[00:07:14.01]
So I'm really,

[00:07:15.06]
I was really excited about that.

[00:07:17.09]
The controls are all easy to reach for me

[00:07:19.07]
which I got little stubby thumb.

[00:07:21.02]
So being able to get to the
magazine release is a big deal.

[00:07:23.04]
And the the ergos on the
grip kind of remind me

[00:07:27.00]
of a Beretta that was the
when I first got the first one

[00:07:30.02]
in after they launched it.

[00:07:31.03]
I picked it up and like
that's kinda reminds me

[00:07:33.01]
of a Beretta and you know,

[00:07:34.04]
just kind of what were the
radius is on the bottom

[00:07:37.09]
of the grip they're installing that.

[00:07:39.09]
so you know you got some
of those features there.

[00:07:43.07]
It's a huge thumbs up for me

[00:07:44.08]
I'm really fond of this pistol
like to the point I you know,

[00:07:49.02]
I was thinking on the drive home

[00:07:50.04]
after we got done shooting I'm like "man."

[00:07:53.07]
I wanna put it on the clock
like tried to build drills

[00:07:55.07]
and stuff with it.

[00:07:56.06]
See what I want the gun world before

[00:07:58.03]
and I'm like "man you know if I treated

[00:08:00.00]
all of the other hand
guns I have right now,

[00:08:02.03]
maybe I can get one"

[00:08:04.05]
- Have a couple of kids
scientific experiments

[00:08:08.00]
- Perfect

[00:08:08.09]
- You know the guns you are.

[00:08:09.07]
- There we go.

[00:08:10.05]
- Yeah.

[00:08:11.04]
- So kid D got a gun literally.

[00:08:13.01]
- Selling themselves wrong

[00:08:17.01]
- Them for a large sum of money

[00:08:19.09]
- I will go,

[00:08:20.07]
I'm kind of on the other side of the train

[00:08:23.00]
I'm with Mark on the
fact of that it's hard

[00:08:25.04]
to hate on the gun that runs flawlessly

[00:08:27.04]
regardless of the price

[00:08:30.01]
it's a 3000 above $3,000 starting point

[00:08:32.09]
does it shoot like a $3,000 gun?

[00:08:34.09]
Absolutely.

[00:08:35.07]
- Yeah.

[00:08:36.05]
- But do I have guns that
cost a third less you know,

[00:08:40.06]
maybe even more that shoot close.

[00:08:43.07]
I mean we're for me I don't
know where the metric is

[00:08:46.04]
that I'm a Glock fan.

[00:08:48.07]
I there I am one on that's
running stat stock sites

[00:08:51.06]
and has MLS cut out I'm not a so

[00:08:53.05]
- We'll deal with that later.

[00:08:56.04]
- But I do love this site

[00:08:58.00]
with the with the night big Trijicon front

[00:09:00.05]
and then the you so there's like you said

[00:09:02.05]
a lot of daylight and there

[00:09:03.04]
that I can get that target
on my sights on the target.

[00:09:06.01]
The grip the herbals for me
are the worst part of this gun.

[00:09:10.00]
I'm a 1992 fan or am
nine fan bread fan also,

[00:09:14.05]
but that grip is more like actually

[00:09:16.03]
the Smith was victory 22
to me it It almost feels

[00:09:18.03]
like I'm grabbing a pop bottle

[00:09:19.01]
rather than a pistol grip me to me.

[00:09:21.09]
It doesn't look quite as round

[00:09:23.06]
as it feels in my hand it
comes up a little short

[00:09:25.09]
just at the bottom for me

[00:09:27.02]
and I understand that's where
the carry aspect of the gun.

[00:09:29.01]
- I think it's 'cause we
both have little bit hands.

[00:09:30.06]
- It could be.

[00:09:31.07]
- This are stubby very dainty.

[00:09:33.07]
- My hands are very well could be

[00:09:36.00]
that I'm seeing it's just
not sitting in my hand

[00:09:39.03]
as much as I like

[00:09:40.06]
- Now am looking at it you're like it.

[00:09:42.01]
- That being said,

[00:09:43.03]
it does shoot amazingly well.

[00:09:44.08]
(gun shots)

[00:09:50.04]
I absolutely am thumbs up on this gun

[00:09:51.03]
just because of the Wilson
Combat nature of the gun

[00:09:56.04]
they built a beautiful gun.

[00:09:57.09]
I just don't think it's for me.

[00:09:59.04]
I'm not a theory fan with the 1911 style.

[00:10:03.09]
Anyway with the manual safety

[00:10:06.06]
but what would I want one?

[00:10:08.08]
Absolutely.

[00:10:09.08]
Am a bearer am gonna
have to sell a few guns.

[00:10:11.05]
I do have a few kids that
can come on the yard.

[00:10:15.08]
- I guess that's a more humane one.

[00:10:17.03]
It could take longer but its humane.

[00:10:19.03]
I got it.

[00:10:20.01]
So if thumbs up thumbs up man.

[00:10:21.02]
- Thumbs up for sure.

[00:10:22.00]
- Thumbs up right on.

[00:10:23.03]
There

[00:10:24.05]
- Thumbs up man.

[00:10:25.08]
This gun was,

[00:10:26.07]
this has gone into like one of my personal

[00:10:30.03]
favorites in general having shot it.

[00:10:32.03]
- Look my calculus is pretty simple

[00:10:36.01]
when it comes to these stuff,

[00:10:36.09]
I will never say less than
maths for a gun that runs

[00:10:39.06]
but as soon as you start
getting into an envelope,

[00:10:42.05]
this is a thumbs up pistol in performance

[00:10:45.07]
there is no question about that for me.

[00:10:47.02]
But I've gotta deal with the price tag

[00:10:49.04]
so am gonna be like a thumbs up minus.

[00:10:54.00]
I know I'm settling.

[00:10:55.00]
Its hard for me to give this a thumbs up

[00:10:58.02]
because at three grand
there's like some more

[00:11:00.06]
$2500 plus for a pistol

[00:11:02.09]
then am expecting something
a little more you know.

[00:11:06.07]
And we've certainly shopped pistols

[00:11:08.03]
that were way more expensive than this.

[00:11:10.05]
And you are like "it's worthied"

[00:11:12.04]
- Yes.

[00:11:13.03]
- And am just not able to
quite make that commitment.
