danwessondwx Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I've never cut a slide for weight reduction is it possible to remove 1.6 ounces safely from the slide? How bad will that affect performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Really Don’t know. But that where I would look. getting a weight of the slide without anything would be a good start. czcustom had pic early on of a slide they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danwessondwx Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Thanks I took off the hideous red grips and put on a set of lok bodies thin that brought me down to 44.1 so I think 43 should be doable . Anyone know what a po9 mag weighs with the plastic basepad vs. The aluminum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drell Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 You can lose .2 with plastic base pad vs aluminum one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danwessondwx Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The lok bogie lightweight are supposed to be 25gr. So with those and plastic basepad I'd be super close. Is the guiderod a cz or 1911 or special for the dwx? I'm thinking if a plastic guiderod from a cz would work I would probably be under the 43 without slide milling.

Looks great! Can you share how long it took for CZC to complete the optic milling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowMe Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Has anyone heard on when it is going to become available again? I have been looking around all of the shops that are within a couple hours drive of me along with online and have not been able to find anything out there. Other than the fake Dan Wesson website trying to sell them I guess. Any help or information would be much appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerman Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The compact version is now listed on the DW website. Only the non-railed version so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my slide at CGW to have some weight taken out of it. I wanted to do that and potentially have a section milled out of the middle of the pic rail on the frame. I opted to just do the slide cuts for now as I should be good with the lightweight lok grips and the slide cuts. When i get it back from cgw I will share the weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you When they showed up locally to me they had 1/2 dozen and then they have been gone again. It seems they’re still having supply issues. Bums me out as someone who owns one as well because I think the aftermarket demand for anything is low because they just aren’t available. I’m contemplating selling mine for a TS2 orange Edited June 5, 2023 by ColoradoNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, I have used these factory mags with factory grips and it's fine. Did not function with the mag well. Came home and was able to recreate the issue with blanks. (Peels first round starting from open slide, doesn't load anything else) Proceeded to use a factory p10 basepad(which looks dimensionally identical to the dwx basepad) and modify it to cut off the rounded nose and add a generous chamfer on the top. Could no longer recreate the problem and every round loaded fine. I'll confirm at the range when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i get it back from cgw I will share the weight I received the slide back today and weighed the dwx with the lightweight LOK grips and the skeleton cut slide from cgw. With an empty p10f mag it weighs exactly 43 oz. Right on the nose for idpa ESP. I'll use it for idpa at local matches but would consider milling out the center of the picatinny rail if I were going to bring it to a major match.

Hammerman Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The optics cut version will probably be as ugly as the specialist. I hope not, but probably. I'm sure I'll be sticking with the regular iron sight version unless they can make it have a blended in look like the staccato or the IOS. I guess I wouldn't care if I was going to actually run an optic, but I'm not ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just sent mine to Stonebridge for an optic cut. Magwell is next but it’s pretty confusing trying to figure out what works. Lots of contradictory reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
