Don't let my registration date fool you. With that said, the guy asked a valid question. If I/others can help answer his question, what does it hurt to extend your knowledge? Rather you just dismissed him. That's not what the forum is supposed to be about. You do you, I'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't mind that for carrying either, however, a traditional 1911 utilizes a grip safety which the DWX does not have, plus the thumb safety which the DWX does have. Some like the grip safety while many do not. There are obviously a ton of other pistols on the market that have one or the other or both. The DA/SA pistols are good for carrying. Pick your poison. If/when compact ever comes out and will feel like i imagine it will.. It would definitely be part of my EDC roster. Carried 4in 1911 for about 6 years. And J-frame for a bunch more even now. All depends on what I am doing. They are all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what the forum is supposed to be about. You do you, I'll do me. I created a new post getting into dasa vs sa . Considering that the dwx is sa only, it is relevant for those wanting something like this. I personally don't feel I get sa only except for specifically a competition pistol. The dwx isn't advertised as such, hence the question, the advertising seams counter intuitive compared to the shadow 2 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadside72 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Fondled the DWX at SHOT. The thumb safety in the demo model was pretty light to engage/disengage. I think I prefer the slightly stiffer safety on the 1911 I have for carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being delivered today so hopefully I'll get it back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlficken Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I got the DWX back today and the safety is now perfect. I can’t wait for the 40 S&W to be released as I must own one. The DWX is my perfect full-size handgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
