Really? That’s high praise because the DWX is now my favorite pistol and I have some heavy hitters (Shadow Target II - *not* the Shadow II, P226 X6 PPC, 1911 Gold Cup National Match)
I splurged a lot and got an A01-SD, in hard chrome, OR, custom from CZC. I also asked them for an extra set of wear parts so that I can keep the gun running forever and bought an extra threaded barrel
. I cannot wait for it to finally ship
You will love it! Given the nature of the single action non hinged trigger on the DWX I shoot it more accurately than the A01. The DWX has been the most accurate non custom pistol I have owned.
-
Which version are you getting? They are superb. Better made than the DWX with a more custom feel/fit. They shoot extremely well. Can’t go wrong with an A01.
-
With some dry fire I like it without the magwell. Feels just like my A01 CO gun.

Fun one on Sunday: Mid stage, had my firing pin stop (FPS) fall out and firing pin fly out of the gun. I was able to find both parts and they look fine. During reassembly noticed there is a lot of clearance between the FPS and the slide. Guessing this doesn't need to be a snug fit since the pin itself is keeping the FPS in place.
These components are not modified, but the gun does have an AGW ignition kit and optics cut. Probably have ~1500 round count on the gun.
Anyone else experience something similar in the past?
Wow. That sounds crazy.

Heavier than I expected. Does the barrel lie lower in the frame vs a 2011?
Not that I can tell.

What grips are those? Patriot Defense for the 75? Holes line up perfect to fit 1911 screws?
Yes and yes
-
Got my hopes up on the compact rail version but sounds like it won’t be available for some time. Imagine that. Lol

Hows the shadow 2 style mag release feel in comparison to the oem one?
I much prefer it. Use the same one on my A01 as well.

so since you are not taking me up on a deal of a century. I have a real solution for you . I leaned on 1911 than tried all other guns. and now shoot them all the same. That strong hand thumb must be siting on the safety the whole time. you will never activate it. your thumb never comes of it unless you are consciously activating the safety or maybe a reload.
Yep. 110% correct.

This is beautiful! What grips are those? The profile looks interesting, how do they compare to the stock grips?
Thank you. These are the Patriot Defense CZ75 brass palm swell grips. They really fill out your hand much better than the stock ones which are pretty thin. They are also very grippy and you can get them in a couple different options if you don’t want them as aggressive.

I'm sorry, but I don't like that at all. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for someone to come out with a DWX specific magwell.
CZC is working on one.

Here is mine. Photos courtesy of Stuart Wong at CZC.

I wonder how this will feel compared to the CZC full action trigger job.

That's a change of direction for Primary Machine. In the past they have insisted on refinishing the entire slide.
Good news for Primary Machine.
It’s a great call on their part. I want to send mine to them or DSC for a Tri top

UPDATE
I received my slide back from Primary Machine and couldn't be happier. Excellent work and didn't refinish the slide.
Looks great! Just saw this on FB too

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?
I was told that the safeties on the site are ambi. Sure hope so.

I was actually thinking about trying that exact thing on an extra safety.
I am going to order another trigger to fit me better and an extra safety to do this as well.

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.
I have noticed the same thing on some FB forums regarding it being superior to Staccato per some people. Can't wait to get mine in my hands.

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.
Sorry I was talking about aftermarket parts
-
I would imagine vendors will move some focus over to the DWX at some point. They are probably upset that they put some time into it years ago and then it never came out until years later.

I am really enjoying the full size DWX and am about to get the compact or at least planning on it. Have an extra EPS carry ready to go. Still enjoying yours?
