Coonan, Dan Wesson and Wilson Combat, oh my...

[adamsredlines]

Down in Florida for a concert and it's raining so we went to the range. My buddy brought his Coonan...man that thing is cool. I want one although it didn't jump to the top of my list.

That being said, I am still on a mission for a railed 9mm.
Shop had a Wilson Combat EDCX9 and a Dan Wesson Specialist that I got to compare side by side. No. Comparison.
To me, and I may catch some heat for this...the Dan Wesson didn't feel any better or tighter than my Springfield or Kimber.
That Wilson Combat though, Lord help me. That is a work of mechanical art.
Felt amazing, slide fit was tight but ball-bearing smooth....I was truly impressed.
I think that jumped to the top of my list for pistols.

Pic for fun of my buddies Coonan. It was enjoyable to shoot with .357 and with
38 it was silly soft shooting.

Your in luck! There’s one in the classifieds right now! Better hurry home to grab it

My heart says yes...my wallet says hold your horses

Ha, I understand

I'm not a big fan of DW or Kimber either. I had a DW and have shot a bunch of them. Mine, the front site kept falling off even after sending it back to DW twice. With both, when you get into their high end I can buy a Les Baer for about the same money. The Wilson your talking about, does have my attention though.

looked at 3 pistols 2 days ago, there was a Wilson CQB in the mix. nice pistol. I bought the Nighthawk that was also in the mix. look at Ed Brown, they make some nice pistols. Got the Nighthawk from the same person I bought the 1961 Colt NM from, it's a nice pistol too. I also have a Baer Premier and an early Thunder Ranch Special, and a bunch of Dan Wessons, all of which are nice pistols, good fit and finish, nice crisp triggers, and actions smooth as silk, ball bearings on glass.

i don't pretend to be an "expert" as some folks here do on a regular basis. i just enjoy nice pistols, and i will not keep an alloy framed pistol for any reason. light weight LOL that says it all

I was honestly surprised how much of a difference there was in racking the DW Specialist vs the WC EDCX9. Not saying the DW was bad, there was just no comparison and it quite frankly caught me off guard.

I wish the Specialist was a double stack too...thats another bonus for the EDCX9.
I literally liked everything about the EDCX9 except the price but I've spent more than that on a single Hot Wheel so I will probably end up with one sooner than later.

I've never really wanted a kimber but when SMGA had the 10mm for $629 I had to snag one. Still waiting on my 10mm ammo to come in.
