Looks great, you’ll like it. I’ve been somewhat considering one since they came out. Been really thinking about it since I was at Wilson a couple months ago and actually got to see the new SFX model. Probably will be ordering one in the next month or so.
I shouldn't have been surprised ... but I was surprised at how snappy this gun was in hand. Even with fairly mild American Eagle 124 grain FMJ ammo, the gun had a lot of snap. So, my first few shots were all over the place as I acclimated.
Once I tightened my combat grip, this gun really shined. The extended magazine helped a bit, but even with the flush fit 10 round magazine, I was cutting 4" groups at 15 yards. Not quite where I want to be with this gun, but I'm going to diligently practice with it and tighten that up.
I ordered one of the flush magazines with the extended pinky lip, which I'm hoping will give me the best of both words.
Three more mags and a holster arrived today, thanks to Wilson Combat's speedy order fulfillment.
I ordered one of each mag—the flush-fit 10 round, the flush-fit 10 round with the pinky extension, and the 15 round magazine. I already had a flush 10 and a 15 rounder, but I have a feeling that the 10 round with the pinky extension will become my go-to magazine for daily carrying this gun. It feels right, and won't be nearly as prone to printing as the 15 rounder.
I also ordered the "rapid response" holster, which is a fairly compact OWB holster. I have other holsters cut in this style and find that they work well for me, so I'm looking forward to giving this one a whirl.
Based on tonight's run of the SFX9 at the range, I think I can see this gun coming into daily rotation. It's a superb all-around piece.
