New Wilson Combat EDC X9 DS 1911

Name Taken · Mar 12, 2017

In metal I'm a 229 fan.

But that looks great. It's a shame it's priced out of my ball park for a carry gun. Even if I were to get it back in a timely manner the idea of handing over a $2,500 dollar gun to the police is a no go for me.

A work of art in appearance regardless if it functions well or not.

a lot of sense and reason in this statement. the wilson definitely won't be any more reliable. but holding and shooting a hand made/fit precision machine has its merits.

That's too funny.....the only reason I read this was because I was doing the same thing. That's a very nice piece. :lol2:

That is 1 beautiful pistol !!!! But would be hard to justify 1 at this time.

Yeah, I had the exact same thought.

I'll buy it from you for $1,400 when you sell it.

I did note that her taste in Wilson Combat is less expensive than yours.

We just got in a new Wilson Combat AR9. Takes Glock mags. It's pretty sweet. Sorry, best pic I have on my phone.

Great, more to add to the list. Like all three models. First going to get the Mossberg ATI Scorpion Talo model (found another source) and still want a Benelli.

You always seem to stock the best toys.

Lol, no comment. What I do worry about with boutique guns is the resale market. There are fewer people willing to spend this much coin on a new handgun than those that typically shop the $500-1000 market. So what do you do if you get the gun, it has an issue, or it's just not a good fit for you? I think folks spending $2400 new might not be willing to spend $2200 or even $1900 on used as you spend that amount, why not spend a bit more to get new?

I don't view a larger market firearm in this price range (e.g CZ Bren to FN SCAR) as being similarly constrained (subject to the same market forces) because there are more buyers, and with the larger production over the years, they are less of a risk as they have well known reps.

Wilson makes awesome stuff, just got a Recon Tactical in 338 Federal for Hog Hunting and the groups are amazing and that round is a thumper for sure. The exit wound on the hog looked like a 4 inch incision, entered just below ear and exited through spine taking some of the bone out the exit

You are correct it is a niche market for the pricey customs. There is a considerable market for discounted low use customs. Knocking off the extra $500 for the new gives many purchasers the opportunity to buy what they couldn't/wouldn't buy at new price.

These customers are looking for the next step from the upper end production guns. They are willing to pay that extra discounted coin for a lightly used custom. Many tend to research the guns a good bit. They will also know that Wilson pistol is warrantied for life unless altered or abused and customer service is stellar. That will sell a low round Wilson in itself.

Agreed. I've been watching the high end market for a while and they seem to hold valve fairly well on the internet market as opposed to the LGS, especially guns that have a waiting period for availability.

I was seriously considering and priced a full custom from one of the one man national known shops. This 1911 smith is a major bullseye gun builder, but he is known for other builds. Then the wind took part of the roof away so that was a momentary set back. I could sell other guns to finance this, which I am considering, but still a lot of green. That market is even narrower at 2.5 times the cost of the pistol being discussed in this thread.

I am seriously considering the new upgraded Guncrafter pistol since it will fill a niche moreso than the full custom. Haven't decided yet

Yes there is a huge difference in the "high end" $2-3k market and the $5k+ market, unless its a SVI race type gun, they seem to never last long on the used market.

Besides the Guncrafters in the case. I have some full customs that don't get displayed.
