Dan Wesson DWX
Best high performance crossover for competitive shooters and enthusiasts.
This hybrid pistol marries the legendary ergonomics of a competition platform with the crisp, single-action reliability of a classic 1911. It’s a masterclass in shootability that feels custom-tuned right out of the box, though you’ll sacrifice the slim profile of a traditional carry gun for that added weight and capacity.
