I would have liked to take more material off but I like how it came out overall. I would look elsewhere if I were to do it again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggleme Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Bringing in the trigger conversation from the ts2 vs dwx thread: What are the best options for reducing trigger pull weight? One user suggested the egw ignition kit. Has anyone done a hone/polish job without modifying any geometry with good results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Anyone tried a Tungsten guide rode in one of these yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Had my barrel reamed to fit RMR 124's at 1.10 as well as these grips from Patriot Defense. Not sure if they'll be too aggressive or not yet... I'm waiting on the slide and a magwell now. I think the grips tie together the stock trigger shoe and EGW hammer.

Threw in a 19# mainspring and replaced the sear spring. The factory sear spring’s sear leg was slightly short and a pita to position correctly. Tried a WC 13# flatwire recoil spring but really preferred an ISMI Glock 17 11# spring. Despite the lower rating, the Glock spring was returning the front sight level while the WC was returning slightly high with 130PF 147gr. Probably due to longer free length and increased preload. Picked up a 1911 flat bottom FP stop to play with in the shop. The firing pin hole is drilled lower in the DWX but I can throw it in the mill at work to make it match. I took some measurements and the slide will fit a standard 1911 round wire recoil spring. I’m going to open up the recoil spring hole and modify an X5 Legion guide rod to fit. Opens up spring tuning to the full suite of 1911 springs and adds a little more weight under the muzzle. The factory mag release felt a bit stiff even after a bit of buffing. Picked up a Wolff reduced power 1911 spring pack. The #3 felt just right. Also, LOK palm swell Veloce grips for the Shadow2 feel just as good on the DWX as my SP-01. Once I get the guide rod and fp stop situated, it’s off for optic milling. It seems like you're one of the only guys on here really digging into the DWX. Where are you at with it now?

"Reamed to fit RMR 124's at 1.10" - I don't have many rounds through mine as its having the slide milled but I'm sure it shot one of my standard plinking loads using RMR 124 at 1.118" - those were RN, not the FP, didn't try those. The other mods look great, love the grips. I have the palmswell veloce in black with a red liner - pretty cool. Pics when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philmadxx Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I only have two loads with Match Winners, my 9mm major load at 1.135" - had to ream my Czechmate barrels to get them to work - that isn't even close in the DWX barrel. The other load is my "Pins" load - a 147gr MW - same profile at 124 I think - won't plunk at 1.118". RN at the same length work fine. Time to ship it off to Memphis Mechanic for reaming while I wait for my slide. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks awesome, what color cerakote is that? How does the slide/lockup feel now that it's been coated? I'll be sending mine for an optics cut but not sure what to do about coating. Primary Machine does great work but requires the entire slide to be coated after a cut. Cerakote looks great but the DLC coating already on it is superior.

Personally I sent it to a place that didn't require Cerakote on the entire slide. Like you I think the DLC coating is superior. The only place I found is Stonebridge Gunworks. They did my Shadow 2 slide that I'm very happy with and have my DWX slide right now. Last I checked their turn around is also only 2-3 weeks.

eerw Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 DWX slide is stainless, so not necessary to refinish. finishes like cerakote will dimension so make sure the optic still fits the cut after being done. have found DLC wears at friction surfaces. we (CZC) either leave unfinished per customer or send off for black nitride.
