One of these guys....still need to install a magwell on the DWX. TSO is pretty awesome, but the narrow slide did limit the options on dot as long as I did not want to use a plate.

From the factory? No it was not pinned. We looked at it at CGW, and I elected to not have them pin it, if the compound doesn't hold it, then all good now that it's got the dot on it. If it's supposed to be pinned, that's actually a relief to hear, I'd consider a second one to keep iron sights only, but definitely would want that pinned.

No problem... Hope one of these three gives a good enough view.

TSO works just fine. This was direct mill, no plate, but the width of the slide does limit what kind of dot you can put on. Original plan was to put an SRO on that I had sitting in the safe, but that would have had overhang, and required a plate. In this case, way smaller glass, but has not been an issue. Your mileage may vary.

CGW took care of the front sight, as well as getting the EPS carry on, so my issue is solved! Beyond happy to have it back.

Compact with the mags I use in my Shadow, I wouldn't run it with full size mags...

Are y'all talking about the same thing? He was asking about the DWX Compact with full length mags. The compact uses 75C magazines, the full-size uses the P-10F magazines.

It's funny you say that, I was in that boat, then got Lasik a few years ago, and was "absolutely going to get back at it with Iron Sights", with the exception that I didn't come back and get after it. Despite being able to see iron sights, and maybe actually prefer it, I'm over in Monroe, Louisiana at CGW waiting for them to mill a couple of slides for me, so I can play with a dot again! IF you want to do it, lol, eventually you will! Take those first few matches and go have fun. I've been blown away just keeping it simple, and finding out that I still love it after the time away, not it's time to take it a little more seriously.

Brace yourself if it's been almost 20 years. The past couple of matches I have shot, (after taking 10 years off from IDPA matches) there were 28 of 41, and 43 of 72 shooters who were shooting either carry optics or PCC. I knew things had changed, and when I looked at sign-up's for USPSA, I see the bulk of people running a red dot between Carry Optics, Limited Optics, and Carry Optics. I remember when SSP/ESP and Production/Limited is what you ran if you wanted to compete against other people, because there were so many people in those divisions. So if you want 2 cents from someone who took a long time off before coming back to shoot it? Run whatever you want for a few matches, and then make a decision. Sight radius, more felt recoil between a G35 and G19 is almost irrelevant at this point. If you are worrying about those things, then you are likely running a significant amount of major matches, and you've put in a ton of dryfire, and live fire time, and then, going for those last few percentage points it'll matter. Until then, run the G35 for a match, then run the G19, run the 1911, talk to everyone out there, see what they like and are running, ask to try something you might be interested in, then you'll know you want to keep playing the game, you'll know your level of investment, and you'll be able to make the best choice for yourself.

Now if it was in the Wilson Combat catalog instead of the Nighthawk, I'm pretty sure you could find a way to fit that in the box!

That's awesome! Dan Wesson came thru early Monday morning with a shipping label and an RA. I still haven't shipped it, trying to decide if I'm going to mill it, and put a Holosun EPS carry dot on it, the guys at Cajun don't think there is enough room to leave existing rear sight on, so without...no need for the front I suppose. Still hate sending it away for any length of time, because I'm hooked on it.

The compact is 30.8 oz.

If it was loose, you'd notice! I was shooting at the head zone A-box, and all of a sudden started shooting way off to the right when I realized what was going on. It's a bummer, because like you mentioned, this is easily going to be my best carry gun ever. I mean CZ 75 grip mated with a 1911 trigger? It doesn't get any better than that. (For me...) As a side note, ANR had the only other kydex iwb that I could find, lol, and ordered it just before I went to the range today, so will have to see when it gets back.

What are you guys doing for grip's with the magwell? I had been looking at Lok Grips, since I've used them before, but was told this: I'd prefer not to cross thread using these, but wondering what solution has worked for y'all.

Any issues at all with your front sight? I put about as many rounds thru mine, and the front sight came off, something I have read happened to a couple of other folks on different forums. Now I can push the sight in and out with my thumb. Awaiting the DW response, and I hope quick fix.
