    Excerpt from Massad Ayoob article: “ The EDC magazine bodies are from the Walther PPQ pistol, with Wilson Combat butt plates. Interestingly, my own PPQ magazines would not lock into the Wilson pistol, even when I swapped floorplates. The cut for the mag release button apparently has to be slightly different. Bill Wilson told me, “I picked the PPQ mag because, number one, it’s proven reliable, and number two, it’s the shortest 15-round 9mm magazine available. Starting out designing a new gun around a proven mag is a lot easier than trying to design a new gun and a new mag at the same

    I have a WC M92 Brig Tac. It was expensive at around $1200 or so, but was my retirement gift to myself from the Navy. I adore that pistol a lot, as the M9 is the easiest gun for me personally to shoot, likely due to all the time I have on them. I really want a 9mm 1911 after being so-so on the idea of them for most of my life, but I love my plain Jane Colt series 70 1911A1 I picked up so much that I'm interested. This one is way out of my budget, but it's still nice to see. I love WC's stuff, that's just too much for me to swing! Hope it's fun for yall at the range.

    I carry an SFX9 on a daily basis. Also have the EDC X9. Difference between those and this one is the slide. This one has a traditional 1911 slide, the SFX and EDC do not (external extractor, internal on SFT9). Also the SFX and EDC have bull barrels vs bushing on SFT9. Love these guns, been to 3 day course on dusty range and worked perfect. No cleaning but did oil before last day.

    Btw your disassembly is mostly correct. Just push the barrel forward slightly first so you turn the bushing on the narrower diameter of the barrel.

    FYI: The manual from WC shows using the bushing wrench to turn the barrel bushing and remove the spring cap first. I wanted a high end 1911, but with more capacity than my previous 1911"s. I purchased the SFT9 and put an Aimpoint Acro P2 on it. It's my carry gun. I am not disappointed in any way. Cheers

    You get what you pay for with these guns. I have the Experior, EDC X9, SFX9 and literally just ordered the SFT9 ten minutes ago. I'm a Class 3 SOT so I have a lot of guns and tell people every day to buy the absolute best they can afford because what is your life worth or the life of a loved one? You need it to go 'BANG' if you have to pull the trigger every time. While I think my Kimber's are on par with my WC's it's just time for a change I think as far as primary EDC is concerned. After shooting the SFT9 for a bit I will decide which one I will carry for the next 15 years.

    While I understand and accept the advancements in the firearms industry, I nevertheless believe that a true 1911 should be what it was designed to be: 45 caliber and single-stack magazine. The thin grip is one of those things that is a signature feature of the 1911. You can blindfold yourself and ask people to give you one by one a few dozen pistols that you know absolutely nothing about, but you can recognize a 1911 from the first touch.

    I don’t have one of these, but I’ll tell you that after purchasing some Colt 1911s and even some Springfield 1911s that couldn’t complete a full magazine without a jam of some kind, we bought some Nighthawks and an Atlas. Not a single round has been a problem with those names after thousands of rounds. I will say that we have a Springfield TRP in .45 that has never ever missed a beat. But why spend a grand on a Colt 1911 or Springfield Ronin that keeps jamming? Yup they are a lot of money but the craftsmanship is amazing. Wilson Combats are not on the Massachusetts approved list but Nighthawks and Atlas are. Go figure. Best Regards. Can’t wait to see the range videos

    Gotta comment for the algorithm! This looks like an amazing piece of work from Wilson. As to dropping the slide etc issues, I think a firearm should be able to handle such handling issues now that we have such modern day precision manufacturing and fitting available to one who is purchasing from Bill Wilson. If a "perfectly" tuned machine goes out of tune for some minor handling things, then is it really "perfect"? Anyways, thank you for the post Graham. Looking forward to the range absolute cold shots.!

    Personally, I would never pay that much for a carry gun. I don't want the authorities to enjoy it if it would ever need to be used in a justified defense encounter. That said, as a range, fun, or comp. gun...absolutely. WC's full line is well known for quality and craftsmanship.

    I had similar thoughts. But then I thought...why would I pay this much for a gun that I train with, shoot at the range for fun and compete with, and NOT use it for my EDC? The chance of me ever using it in a self defense incident is rare, so the chance that I am going to lose it to the authorities is rare. More importantly, if I do ever need to shoot my firearm in a life and death event, I want it to be the best firearm I own, that I shoot the best and train with. Finally, I get to enjoy having it with me every day.

    Why would that not be a good thing? MecGar makes magazines for most pistols and it’s much easier to choose an existing magazine to base a platform around. The cut at the top might be a little different but other than that, it looks like a M2 magazine which would be good to know. It actually makes the Wilson Combat more appealing if it is a PPQ mag

    I fail to see anything wrong in your method of field stripping. The way you're doing it leaves less of a chance of anything flying out under spring pressue which can happen when done with the traditional method (plunger goes flying if you're not very careful). Beautiful pistol. I really like the shape of the fram/grip especially the rounded area at the rear bottom. Instead of a straight or bobtail its just nicely rounded. Wish I could justify the cost but it would make me sell a couple of mine to buy it and .....not sure its worth that at this point
