Toggleme Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 16 hours ago, moose97 said: Fairly certain I'm going to pick up a DWX Friday when my work bonus finally hits my bank account. Probably going to immediately send it off for an optic cut at Impact Machine. Want to get it all set up for Limited Optics, so what's the consensus on magwell & mag extensions/springs? Thanks! You can see my findings a few pages ago. I use henning extensions and Lok "grid lok" magwell for a Tac Sport. They work fine together. The factory DWX baseplates do not play nice with that specific mag well. I used factory P10 basepads and ground them down to get them to work with the mag well.

moose97 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 What race holsters work for the DWX? 2011 style? I've got a Ghost Hydra for my TSO & would prefer to get another, but they don't list DWX as an option. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Ghost Hydra for my TSO & would prefer to get another, but they don't list DWX as an option. Thanks. The Hydra +p works well enough for the DWX but not so well that I would want to use it full time. It's a little sticky at the trigger guard... I'm sure you could modify it if you were inclined. I just ordered an RHT and then cancelled after reading some reviews here. I ended up placing an order for a Long's Shadow Huron with the T-1000 Henning hanger. He said it would ship by the end of the week. Edit: Just saw you said "race"... Disregard. Edited July 11, 2023 by ColoradoNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drell Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I ordered the Ghost One Evo, It's the 2011/STI model. Just put in the comments that it's for a Dan Wesson DWX. My Staccato P doesn't fit because the trigger guard is too thick. Also don't extend the white nylon screw on the side of the holster that is under the picatinny rail. The screw will get stuck in between the slots on the rail and it's a bitch to get the gun out. Don't ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike21STI Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I just tried the dwx in my daa alpha x holster with the SV/STL block in it and it fits nicely with a smooth release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) First time drawing the DWX from a holster and ran into a grip issue coming from my Shadow 2 to the DWX. I hold the gun so high and the safety is so small on the DWX when the slide cycles it rides the top of my firing hand thumb. I’m thinking about trying a larger safety or do I have to modify my firing hand thumb to be more on top of my support hand? I’d rather not change my grip if a bigger safety will work. I have pretty big hands. No experience with 1911’s…. It seems like a larger 1911 safety would work on the dwx?

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Yea for me the getting to a small safety is an issue. Let’s hope there will be aftermarket or factory options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out of town for a couple weeks but I have a buddy who is going to test fit a large shielded Atlas safety for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Pretty sure a couple guys tried that here and it’s a cz version of a 2011 safety. think panda and Stuart tried. It be nice though. Or maybe with some grinding and filing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWX safeties aren't interchangeable with 2011 safeties though. We'll need to wait for after market or Dan Wesson solutions, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlineberry Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I'm new to CZ's, so be patient, please. I just picked up a DWX at MSRP off of gunbroker and am ordering parts to be here when it arrives; I intend to send it out to Vulcan to have it cut for an SRO (already in hand.) My question concerns magazines; it only comes with two and I'd like to have at least 5. I've ordered five Henning +5 bases/springs/followers, but am confused over which mags to order from CZ. I know it takes "P10" magazines, but am seeing a few different P10 mags. Am I specifically looking for 19 round "P10F" mags to get those identical to what I will receive with the gun?
