Read 5.2.3 I shot a match with the shortened inner belt and it functioned perfectly.

It’s more like a Bersa now!

yep

I figured it out, safety invetween on/off and pry it out. Mine was TIGHT. I do have a question for dwx owners- does your stock trigger bow have tabs to adjust pre-travel? Mine did not…. The replacement I ordered from Dan Wesson DOES and it allowed me to take the trigger from good to amazing. Zero pre-travel now, zero dot movement with trigger manipulation.

I just swapped my SRO for a green 507 comp. I fired about 300 rounds through it doing a little testing for competition use. For targets 15 yards and in I preferred the 20moa ring only. Past 15 yards I liked the 2/8 combo. This is what I assume I will use majority of the time. What was interesting was putting a clean target behind a shot up one and doing some shot calling drills firing doubles at match speed i called 100% of my shots correctly between 7 and 20 yards. I’m shooting a match with it tomorrow and will post again. So far I like it, i would be just as happy with a solid 8 moa green dot as well though. The window size is cool but I don’t see how it will be an advantage over the already big SRO

I would call atlas high end… They cost 3x as much as the dwx. Fwiw my dwx shoots a sub 2” group at 20 yards off hand. I can’t do that with a $1700 shadow 2 orange. The play is a little irritating but IMO it doesn’t effect the gun at all. With a $130 trigger kit and a little work I have a 2lb trigger, zero pretravel, over travel and a rabbit hair reset. For 2k I’ll take it.

You can tighten the mag release with a little flat head to take the wobble out.

Anyone willing to give me some advice on how to remove the thumb safety on my dwx for disassembly?

Mine is also pretty loose but it doesn’t effect accuracy at all.

What do you mean? A Full size DWX

Yep, the inner belt also holds it more secure vertically. I’ve basically cut the inner belt so it clears my belt loops at 5 and 7 oclock by about an inch. This leaves the gap in the middle of my back at about 6”. No more bunching and it feels very secure . Only downside would be the inner belt by itself doesn’t work (if you need a belt to actually hold your pants up).

Yes definitely trending in the right direction. I’m waiting for a price in the 40’s and I might jump in for a large purchase. Initially Sportsmans was limiting you to 1k per customer but last time my buddy went in he bought 5k.

Sportsmans by me has CCI500's for $55/1k.

For anyone else wondering I went ahead and tried this with an extra inner belt and it works perfectly!

Excellent thank you. Before I order that, has anyone tried cutting their inner belt so it does not overlap, by maybe 5-6" underneath where the ratchet is? This would hold the outer belt in place vertically while also not bunching up as the ratchet was tightened?

I picked up a DAA Lynx belt with ratchet attachment for my new L/O setup. I really like how snug I can get the belt utilizing the ratchet but I'm not in love with how it feels like it bunches up in my lower back with the inner belt. Has anyone come up with a solution for this? I haven't shot a match with it yet but I guess I will ratchet down before shooting, and then immediately loosen afterwards...

Has anyone ordered a safety from the dan wesson site? Im guessing its both sides? The image is only the right. in regards to the trigger, it looks like the ones you can order from them have the tabs on the bow to adjust pretravel. The trigger bow that came in my gun doesn’t have these adjustment tabs… kinda weird?

Thanks I'd definitely love to check out the Athena. I shot the Titan RDS back to back with my DWX and it made my DWX feel like a Hi-Point. I loved everything about it!

Thinking about ordering an Artemis RDS next year after shooting my buddies Titan. I want to confirm LO stays minor only before ordering but what other guns should I be looking at? This will strictly be a USPSA gun for LO.

Didn't even try and break the springs in, they just worked 24+1 from the start. I actually just got two more that also work.

Made the mistake tonight of comparing my DWX to a TitanRDS… damn. I also put 200 rounds through the DWX. I shot it really well but this safety is super irritating. I think I need to completely change up my grip. Draw speed was 1.2-1.3 at 15 yards which is about average for me but I had a problem engaging the safety with my support hand in the middle of a string of fire, or even missing the safety on the draw and not disengaging it. Pretty frustrating in comparison to the Atlas

Just got a shipping notification for a green 507 comp im going to experiment with on the DWX.

oh I know I was agreeing with you. Why make aftermarket parts for a gun that's not available. They're becoming more available now though, at least locally to me. So far in comparison to a Staccato the DWX seems to get high marks. Especially from the crowd coming from the Shadow 2.

They’re definitely becoming more available. First round my local shop got sold immediately but i think they’re sitting on a few now that aren’t moving.

No problem 24+1 here
