Dan Wesson DWX

The DWX is a hybrid design that merges the ergonomics and trigger feel of a 1911 with the high-capacity magazine system and reliability of a CZ-75. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: a crisp single-action trigger in a modern, high-capacity platform.

While the DWX is primarily designed for target shooting and home defense, its aluminum frame keeps the weight manageable at 1.93 lbs. However, its full-size dimensions and 7.5-inch overall length make it a larger pistol that may require a dedicated holster and specific clothing choices for effective concealment.

Yes, the slide is cut to accept various optics, but you will need to ensure you have the correct adapter plate for your specific red dot sight. It is designed to accommodate modern sighting solutions, allowing for a co-witness setup with the included tritium night front sight.

Yes, the DWX features an integrated Picatinny rail on the dust cover, which allows you to securely mount standard weapon lights or lasers. This makes it a versatile option for home defense scenarios where target identification is critical.

The extended beavertail is designed to protect your hand from hammer bite and allows for a higher grip on the frame. This higher grip helps you manage recoil more effectively, keeping the muzzle flatter for faster follow-up shots.

The DWX features a swappable magazine release, allowing you to configure the controls to better suit your dominant hand. This customization is part of the design's focus on user comfort and ergonomics.
