    Makes me regret buying the big clunky P226 SAO Legion.

    3 units left! and to answer a couple of popular questions....

    1) there is no cost difference in a railed v. non railed

    2) mags are 10/15 and run $59

    Cheers,

    Gary

    Going back a number of years, a gunshop in Edmonton was (at that time) the only importer of Wilson Combat in Canada. They brought in a batch or two of the Wilson bull barrel (bushingless) commanders which like the EDC9 has a stock 4” barrel. The were a special run for the Canadian distributor and had either 4.2 or 4.25” barrels. They looked not bad, in my opinion.

    I can’t seem to find any pics of the old Wilson’s but they looked very similar to the Canadian legal Kimber Pro Carry which also has a 4” barrel as standard. So just to give you guys an idea of what to expect for the barrel protrusion, here’s a pic of one of the Kimbers.

    Also, to the best of my knowledge, Wilson has no plans to introduce a longer version. Given that it was designed from the ground up to be a double stack 9mm for EDC; but one that retains familiar 1911 ergonomics and controls; a longer version doesn’t appear to be in their radar. At least not at this time.

    Why not just have gone the TB route, surely that would have made up the required length without looking quite so out of place maybe?

    Not sure why the barrel flange was not an option. Can't say I'm a fan of it either, but it would have made for a more integrated package.

    It sticks out about the same amount as a 106mm Glock 19 barrel. It could be a lot worse.

    I wish I had the money to play. Maybe my next life. One of the nicest looking guns I’ve seen in a while

    It interfered with the front site. Looking at blacked out barrel option as we speak.
