Intervention Fail - Well, Partially

So back on August 28th I posted the below thread requesting folks talk me out of spending $$$ on a Staccato.

Thread 'Need an Intervention - ASAP'

So I’ve spent the last two weeks visiting https://staccato2011.com/ daily - usually multiple times. The only thing that has prevented me from making another significant donation to the gun industry is that I can’t decide between the CS and the C2. Well, and do I really think a gun, put together much like many others, is worth this amount of cabbage?

I mean, my CZ Shadow 2 Carry was less than 1/2 the price, is deadly accurate, and is only 5 oz heavier than the C2. The CZ S2 Carry build advantages are also clear - deeper mounted slide that clearly affects recoil and rapid follow...

Everyone did a great job and I really haven’t thought about a Staccato since AND I finally sent in my old Wilson EDCX9 to Wilson for a needed tune-up, optics cut, and fresh paint - which I won’t see for 4-6 months.

Unfortunately, while perusing the internet over last weekend, I came across Modern Warriors Labor Day sale which included 18% off Wilson Combat in stock firearms. Uh oh! Didn’t help they had a LOT of in stock Wilson Combat firearms.

Long story short, one of those in stock firearms called my name for a couple of days and I ended up ordering a brand spanking new Wilson Combat SFX9 3.25 with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 Adjustable LED 6.5 MOA optic (also 18% off), which arrived at my LGS this past Thursday afternoon, optic installed.

Will I’ll have to wait until Tuesday for a range report as we have company this weekend and I have a routine physical Monday. I will already say it feels great in the hand and the optic has the best dot I’ve ever looked at (a true circle with my astigmatism, unlike the Holosuns that star and splinter for me). Not sure if that’s because the dot is red (all my others are green) or if it’s the quality of the Trijicon over the Holosuns. Doesn’t really matter to me either way, I just know it’s GREAT to have a distinct circular dot for once!

Anyway, watch for Tuesday’s range report.

Thanks, that’s how I’m trying to get my EDX9 redone as well, so they’ll match, black over FDE. It will have the same optic, though a 3.5 vice 6.5 MOA dot. Won’t know until they call to verify my custom work request (after they receive the gun) on the two tone. I did the tune up package #3 which includes a refinish, I just don’t know if they’ll do two separate colors under that, or if they’re going to want to me to pay an additional fee (and if so, how much). If it’s reasonable, I’ll do it anyway, if full price probably not, just go with all same color.

Very nice! Looks like they did a little bit of smoothing on it! I was debating having one of my X9S comped and optic cut. Many $$ and hard to justify for such a low recoiling gun.

Oh yeah, forgot that part. It has the “Extreme De-Horn Melt for Carry” option. Haven’t tried it yet. I ordered a holster with it (well day later) from Modern Warrior to be shipped UPS 2nd Day Air that is apparently lost in Kentucky somewhere (label created 2 Sep, in UPS possession 3 Sep w/delivery scheduled 4 Sep; 4 Sep tracking states “delay” in Kentucky, then yesterday afternoon and today states “will update delivery date when available”). So much for “2nd Day Air”. I don’t have any 1911 or EDCX9 holsters cut for an optic 😞.

I have a TTGunleather leather AIWB only on order, as well as a Grey Man Solutions OWB Kydex. It does have a little heft, like the EDCX9, so I’m thinking a holster similar to a Milt Sparks Criterion might be best - though not waiting 40 weeks so will find it somewhere else.

I agree with you on the compensator being unnecessary on an EDCX9, but I think the optic cut would be worth it. I wondered how it would look, but seeing how it looks on the SFX9 3.25, I think it will look great on the EDCX9. Their price for just an optic cut is very similar for other “in demand” shops, and since it’s their gun, I think they’re the best place to get it done (IMO). Only issue is the long wait if it’s your only gun. On my EDCX9, I went with no rear sight and a front sight hole cover.
