Rhodesian Brushstroke may be one of the most underrated camouflage patterns in military aesthetics, a fact that one of Wilson Combat's customers took good care of in this EDC X9. Born from counterinsurgency campaigns in Africa during the 1970s and '80s, the pattern employs organic brush strokes in earth tones to dissolve the gun into natural environments.
On the EDC X9's compact double-stack frame, however, the aesthetic becomes something different: a gallery piece for our Photo Of The Day. The amber, tan, and sage-green strokes flow across the slide and frame, transforming the pistol into a custom object. I’m pretty jealous of the owner, as I wouldn’t mind one myself. Basic models, if that’s a word for these guns, begin around $3,500 and then add the custom paint - and possibly other upgrades - to find out that the sky is probably the limit.
