"Your concern about muscle memory with the safety is going to fall on deaf ears with the BEnos audience since this is a competition oriented forum and holstering with the safety on is a requirement for loaded SAO guns and everyone shooting SAOs is used to flipping the safety off after the draw." This is not actually a concern. You are actually making my point. The way you're describing it is the way I was attempting to describe it. I think we're saying the same thing but with a different way that's all. My only other comment would be to this that yes this is competition oriented however this is still on the internet. There are people that might come to this forum that might not understand that when doing a search for their particular firearm.

Thank you ChuckS.

Back on topic, I am personally looking forward to a comparison between the DWX and the shadow 2 Orange for accuracy.

You are basically responding with a personality bias. Lets not stay there lets stay unemotional and non-biased with the best attempt to stay wholey logical without fallacy. Doing a quick search engine search with multiple engines, there are a lot of people talking about the issues of ccw with a pistol that is non-firing pin blocked. The point of this statement is hopefully for the mods and most experienced in the group to make comments in response to preemptively alleviate any negativity in regards to the DWX not having a firing pin block for those that wish to ccw a full size, again specifically the DWX in this case.

I realize this is about the DWX. Because this is another CZ essentially with no firing pin block, that could have this issue. The thread mentioned is 2-3 years old now. On my SP-01 I cannot engage the safety unless the hammer is pulled all the way back. I am think that the amswer to this issue/concern relating to all cz non-firing pin block pistols (and possibly all) is two fold. It may be that CZ intends the pistol to be carried cocked and locked, regardless if there is one in the chamber. If you cant put the saftey on unless it is cocked. It seams to me then, if you have a larger saftey to make it easier to learn to rest your thumb on it during firing. It would then become muscle memory to immediately turn off the saftey when firing. If putting back in the holster manually cocking it all the way then locking the saftey, the issue of drop firing becomes non-existent. If you are the person that is very worried about this, and you are still set on the pistol, in this case the DWX; then one could experiment with heavier and heavier springs until it isn't an issue with a hammer hit primer test. Then test to make sure the preferred ammunition will fire reliably. I am getting ahead of this as a possible concern. People right now are so enamored with the DWX they aren't seeing the big picture. I am an INTJ, I tend to see problems and attempt to solve them before they occure.

Does this thing have a firing pin block? Verifiable by picture (s). To be clear, a firing pin stop is typically a small metal part that only physically blocks the forward movement of the firing pin. It does not necessarily block the firing pin from moving in other ways, such as being struck by an external force. A firing pin block, on the other hand, is designed to physically block the firing pin from moving in any direction until the trigger is pulled, making it a more reliable safety mechanism. In some firearms, the firing pin stop and firing pin block can be integrated into one part, but they perform different functions. It is important to note that the firing pin stop is mainly used to prevent the firing pin from moving forward in the event of an accidental discharge. The firing pin block, on the other hand, is used to prevent the firearm from firing if the trigger is not pulled, such as if the gun is dropped or bumped. If there is no block, why get one? A toy? As a comp gun it doesn't fit much, as a concealed carry item it can be bump fired without a block. I just finished reading the whole thread here on these issues, took an hour, and I think it was closed too quickly with not enough tests of MULTIPLE factory/oem/unmolested units. If there is an update on the drop fire/ bump fire issue and it has been resolved in the last 2-3 years I am open to this as a CCW. However I would like data. The staccato folk claim, https://www.police1.com/police-products/firearms/articles/meet-staccatos-first-entry-into-the-law-enforcement-duty-gun-market-TV7jGicCEEmjtTkS/ "Q. The Staccato P doesn't have any sort of active firing pin block or safety. Are you using a lightweight titanium firing pin to help ensure the pistol won't fire if dropped? It is not necessary, as the P has passed every drop test at all the major departments that have tested and approved our guns. The use of firing pin blocks like the Colt Series 80, Kimber style, etc., cause more problems and malfunctions." 1911 Purists are saying that they prefer the series 70 and just replace firing pin spring with a heavier one to make it more safe when dropped. The new Colt 1911 models now are mostly reverting back to the classic series 70 design. I am personally not knowledgeable or experienced enough to know if changing out for a heavier firing pin spring makes it more drop safe. Another argument that it doesn't matter that there is no firing pin block is from the 1911 guys. https://sightm1911.com/lib/tech/inertial_discharge.htm
