    Yeah, $3k is not a joke. It’ll take some saving but the videos and stuff make it look amazing, I’d love to hear it from folks not being sponsored to talk guns.

    Had put hands on one at a lgs recently. Seemed well built. That’s about all I can share. I am guessing there is a fair amount of demand for them. Me if I am putting out that much coin it will be for a 1911. That’s just me. I tend to stick with what works for me.

    1911s are great shooters and the triggers are second to none. But the hybrid of falling between a 1911 and a 2011 with no grip safety attracts me to it. Don’t get me wrong, if it was in budget, a 1911 Nighthawk would make me forget all about that gun.

    Pretty sure you will be happy with it, especially if it checks all the boxes

    I ran a couple mags through one and it was very nice. Nice enough I thought about consolidating a couple 3 guns to get one but just haven’t pulled the trigger

    I have shot one on two different occasions. Same gun both times. First time I felt the grip was a little large for me. Second time we were shooting steel and I was blown away by how well the gun handled and tracked. I give it a thumbs up!!!!

    I prefer my 9mm nighthawk.

    I have Staccato C, CS, and an EDC X9. Have not fired the EDC X9 as much as my Staccato’s. The X9 fit and finish is amazing and it fits nice in the hand. Was looking for a P when I grabbed the X9. Happy with the purchase thus far, but still looking for a P.

    **drooling** With the grey grips too… ugh, that’s a gorgeous gun! I’m really digging that holster too! Where did you find that holster if you don’t mind me asking?

    I have a few Stacattos. Great guns, but I’ll sell one of my C2s to get funds towards the WC. I love the idea of a 1911-ish gun without the grip safety!

    C2?? Optics?? Might be able to work a trade with cash if interested.
    Holster maker is based out of Montana. Only direct order through him on a wait list.
    Holsters for my CS he made.

    Gorgeous holsters! Yeah, C2 no optics. It’s not milled for RMR, just plain. My P and my other C2 have optics but they were cerakoted and customized so I’m not parting with them.

    I have a WC EDC X9. I love everything about it. Super accurate and very well made. It's not my carry gun though. WC just came out with the WCP365 recently. Basically a P365 with different Wilson features. I'll probably buy one of them too.

    Not an EDC but I picked up an WC Experior Commander Double stack a couple years ago. It arrived the weekend before going to a three day pistol class. Went to a local indoor range and ran 200 rounds. No issues so I packed it up and went to the class. Ran another 2700 rounds during the class with no issues at all. It now has 6700 rounds with just a couple field strips, clean and lube. No issues of any kind. I have five of the 18 round WC mags which are the same mags for the EDC.

    That’s awesome! Congrats on the new addition and I’m glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for sharing!
