jripper Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I shot again today. I’ve got a total of 500 rounds through it. With only the two failures to go into battery early on. Many runs through the 140 mm cz custom mag extension with no issues. I benched it today. a friend of mine asked if you need to short load ammo as with czs. I loaded some 147 sns flat points to 1.55 and they ran like a champ. No issues and easily extracted by handMy eyes still had issues with the sights but my best 5 shot groups were 2 inches and one with 4 shots in an inch and the fifth made it 2”. Worst group was 4”. Which was most likely my error. I’ll be switching to a .100 front and red optic as I’m wearing hunter hd glasses and the green fiber optic outdoors is too bright. The recoil spring is heavy. Even for factory ammo. It cycles but empties are not flung very far. The rear sight adjustment screw does not move the sight much with each click. Not an issue as there was plenty of elevation available to get it near point of impact. The gun flat runs and shoots well. I’ll be switching hammer spring to a lighter one and adjusting sear spring to lighten the trigger a bit. And getting a lighter recoil spring as soon as I can figure out what it takes. . i feel it’s a nicely made machine well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike21STI Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I brought mine to the range this past weekend. It shoots great! I just bought some Lok lightweight palmswell grips for it. I am looking for a way to have it drop some weight so I can use it in IDPA. I don't think the grips alone will get there. Maybe there is a shop out there that could tri-top the slide (not sure if there is enough material for that). Anyone know of any companies that will take the work on?

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Any chance you could weight just the slide ? Leaving the the sights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the grips in hand yet but I weighed the gun with an empty p10f mag and it came to 44.4 oz, The grips are 2.0oz and it seems like the lok lightweight grips are 1.45oz so it needs to drop another .9oz (round it up to an additional oz to be on the safe side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I have not shot IDPA in a while. But I thought for some reason that they followed what ever the manufacturer weight was. Not what was done to the gun. Changing grips was OK. But milling and ETC was not ok Edited January 3, 2023 by 1911vm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 See if lok is willing to make a g10 main spring housing ? that be pretty cool either way. Im not sure if you can turn down the guide rod in that design to save weight also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglee25 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Picked up my DWX from my FFL today. Whooo doggie! Feels like a really solid pistol. Sight picture is really good. Grips and front/rear checkering are aggressive... Really aggressive. Trigger felt amazing and the slide was buttery smooth. It felt really nice in my hands overall. The FFL hadn't seen one yet and was also impressed. Looking forward to taking it to the range. Also picked up a Bul Armory 4.25" 1911 commander that finally arrived as well. First Bul that I've had in my hands. Likewise I was really impressed with the fit and finish. Grips feel like a palm swell style but I'll have to double check that one. For whatever reason it felt fatter than my other 1911s. Barrel fitment is excellent. Slide is tight for a production gun... Maybe 1-2 thou play side to side... I'd have to measure to be sure. Feels like a $2k+ gun. It should shoot really well. I called Gilbert from GP Arms. Their 2011 Tac II in black is currently running likely 8-12 weeks and he'd have to put me on a list. Price was $1890 I believe. I don't know if it's any better than a Stacco or other similar 2011, but I was under the impression that is was a 1400-1500 MSRP gun. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Mike21STI Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 It fits in the SV/STL block, although there is a little play front to back. It does lock and won't fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscott Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks for the replies and the pictures are great. I have the STI/SV regular insert and the SV steel insert so sounds like one of those will work for sure. Gun will be here Friday afternoon with any luck.

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Is The carry Version still a 4.25 barrel ? that might be better for idpa if it fits in a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slalom45 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I liked the Honest Outlaw review. Seemed pretty “honest”. If you love your TSO (or your 2011) just stay where yo are because they are all great guns. Three years ago I was gonna try Limited when the DWX came out. Got tired of waiting and now shooting Tanfos in Limited and I’m happy. Of course if you want one… buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've seen how those guns with the 2lb trigger and less shot doubles and more. That's why it gave me a boost to solve the problem and make this mechanism the most effective in the world with the 550 gram trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
