The grip feels good to me, but admittedly it feels and shoots different than a 1911 or 2011. That said, I've learned that grip comfort can be overrated. Long story short, I bought a Shadow 2 and hated the way it felt in my hand (even gave me a blister). Was set to sell or trade, but decided I need to shoot at least one match before I sold it. Now I have 2 and will likely have a 3rd some time soon. Gun still doesn't fit like a glove, but some of those less than comfort angles seem to make the gun track better... for me, YMMV.
Admittedly, I'd like to see some other grip options for the EDC X9.
Since I didn't elaborate earlier, EDC X9 improvements, IMO.
1. No Grip Safety!!!!!
2. No grip screws or grip bushings to come loose.
3. Fixed plunger tube (also true on 2011 and a few 1911s)
4. Simple slide / barrel take down. No need for paper clips, bushing wrenches, Allen keys, etc.
5. Sized appropriately for 9mm (instead of 9mm in a .45 size frame).
6. Quality 9mm specific magazines. No magazine spacers, or extra room for the rounds to slide back and forth.
7. Easy front sight replacement, like a GLOCK (would have been even better if it used actual GLOCK sights). (Admittedly, this may be a con for some)
8. No grip safety (this needed to be mentioned more than once )
