As simple machines that are designed to perform the same function (EDC/SD), how can a $3,000 expense be justified over a proven design costing less than $700, other than trying to impress others by preening around and crowing about the ownership of an exorbitant showpiece.
---------------------
I'd lay odds that 99% of the purchasers of the EDC X9 will never seriously carry the X9 on an EDC basis, because: "God forbid my EDC X9 get taken into evidence by LE, after an SD deadly force incident. That's why I have a ( insert commonly found & easily replaced brand of EDC pistol) for EDC."
For nearly all who buy this pistol, it will simply become yet another very expensive safe queen/range toy....but what the heck, that's the beauty of freedom and I'm all for it.
----------------------
As for comparing a CZ P01 next to an EDC X9, sure take them both out on the range and I guarantee the performance will be indistinguishable in regards to testing them relevant to their intended purpose.
They both are intended to be self defense/ service pistols, not priceless art showpieces, nor magic talismans that ward off evil by the mere possession of them.
But in the end,
I'll defer to your experience, knowledge and training.
It's not as if I've spent over three decades combined, in the Military and LE, nor been an Instructor and Armorer or anything such as that, so what do I know?
This is only my brain damaged opinion.
Happy Shooting!!
