Mr. Wilson followed me home!
After pulling some time in layaway, and trading/selling a few other guns, the Wilson Combat ACP compact 9 that I posted about a couple months ago finally came home! Got 100 rds through it so far and it’s been 100%, as it should be! Just got to get the “nut” behind the trigger dialed in to use its full accuracy potential!!!

Other than the name I can’t see much difference between them. Maybe I missed something from the Wilson website? If I was going to buy one it might be helpful to see and hold each model in my fat hand. If that’s not possible then it would take some thinking, pondering, research. I bet either would be fine.
At this moment my choice would probably be EDC X9, 3.5” barrel, no rail 15 round.
Im not interested in either model cause I already have a sweet Wilson CQB Compact 9mm that does all I need.

Well then, now back in town again with everything unloaded and stowed, I see that our buddy Stockmaker has been having some grand fun! Nice score there buddy! Once you handle a WC pistol, that degree of quality of "feel" just burns into your good memory data bank. They're great guns, and I know you'll enjoy the chit out of yours.
After reading all the posts in this thread, more congrats are due for Rama Lama with his new SFX9 non-rail WC acquisition!. You'll love it quickly RLD, those guns shoot like a house afire, and are more accurate than anyone I know could possibly hold. Amazing performance from a 3.25" barrel, at least it was for me. My first-shot target is below in case you missed my earlier post. This is indeed a double-stack, but the grip circumference is actually LESS than the 1911. Read the piece about the design on Wilson's website if you haven't already. While mine was being built, I laid in an assortment of 10-rnd flat bottom, 10-rnd with pinkie extension, and some 15- rounders for spare carry, so feel set 'for now'. You'll want to consider getting some early too, as you're really going to want to go shoot it soon after it arrives.
First day out, first shots fired. My 9mm carry load was Hornady 124gr XTP HP's at 15 yards:
A sidenote; this pistol ate virtually everything I fed her over a weeks time, any factory offering in any bullet shape, including some boutique HV loads with questionable nose profiles, and any of my handloads with all bullet profiles. Absolutely ran 100% the entire week, no matter how fast I shot it, or how slow....didn't matter at all.
The sights were pretty much spot-on. Despite their barrel length, like the Kimber Ultra, they're still more accurate than most of us can shoot, and that includes me. So with WLW working on my new lined Predator OWB rig, the package will soon be complete. By the way, the WC SFX9 3.25" fits perfectly in my Milt Sparks VM2 IWB rig, so that saved me another buck-sumthin'. Any holster intended for the 1911 Officer will fit.
Just for grins, here's a size comparison with a Kimber Ultra CDP, Wilson Combat SFX9, and a Micro 9.
At this point in time, we've got some real bonaroo choices in terms of small, potent EDC's. All happy here.

You’re right Rick! Already enjoying this WC jewel! Had it a week now and over 200 rds through it! Best 1911 trigger I’ve ever felt, and super short reset! Glad you were able to share input with RLD on the SFX9! Hate ya missed helping “enable” him though!!!😆Well then, now back in town again with everything unloaded and stowed, I see that our buddy Stockmaker has been having some grand fun!
