They're becoming more available now though, at least locally to me. So far in comparison to a Staccato the DWX seems to get high marks. Especially from the crowd coming from the Shadow 2. I have noticed the same thing on some FB forums regarding it being superior to Staccato per some people. Can't wait to get mine in my hands.

I really like the OEM grips so wanted to try and make them work. Had a friend make the thumb rest. Still working out the details on it. Doesn’t slide lock and not sure the angle is right. Once we get it worked out he is gonna start selling them on his website. Nice. What did you end up doing for a holster? Seems you would have to hack up an existing holster to fit the thumbshelf.

ColoradoNick Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Just got a shipping notification for a green 507 comp im going to experiment with on the DWX. Edited August 15, 2023 by ColoradoNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClangClang Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Anyone able to post a pic of the Compact with a full length mag? Either the OEM 19 round, or even better, a 140mm mag? Thanks! Also, does the DWX have an over insertion stop or do the mag lips slam up into the ejector? Edited August 15, 2023 by ClangClang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drell Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I’m using a Ghost One S holster for Limited Optics, no problems with the thumb rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoNick Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Made the mistake tonight of comparing my DWX to a TitanRDS… damn. I also put 200 rounds through the DWX. I shot it really well but this safety is super irritating. I think I need to completely change up my grip. Draw speed was 1.2-1.3 at 15 yards which is about average for me but I had a problem engaging the safety with my support hand in the middle of a string of fire, or even missing the safety on the draw and not disengaging it. Pretty frustrating in comparison to the Atlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerland Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) This is the gun I lusted for since it came out. Went from a TS2 to a DWX and never looked back. Edited August 16, 2023 by bimmerland Insert picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my ejector was bent upwards the first time I used p-10f mags. They are the same as the DWX mags but with plastic baseplates. The plastic baseplates sit slightly lower and allow the magazine to contact the ejector if it gets passed the mag release. The mag release is very strong but apparently my slide back reload during competition was enough to get passed it. With the DWX aluminum baseplates, the mags do not reach the ejector even with the mag catch depressed. So be forewarned about using p-10f magazines. CZ told me the ejector is proprietary and they couldn’t sell or send me one. I had to send it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The compact uses 75C magazines, the full-size uses the P-10F magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Chaos-Factor Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Didnt see it posted here yet but CZ USA has DWX replacement triggers on their website now.

No, you're backwards. The DWX Compact uses CZ75 pattern mags (like the P-01, PCR, Shadow, SP01, etc). Only the DWX full size uses P10 magazines.

I'm asking about the Compact but I think it's a pretty safe bet that they'll both have the same vulnerability of the ejector bending from a hard reload when using any magazine that's longer than the grip and insertion is not stopped by the mag baseplate.

Yes, mine is the full size. Sorry just read your second paragraph. Either way take the slide off and check for yourself just to be safe. Kinda ticks me off that they say it's compatible with P-10F mags, which isn't exactly true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a small safety added JB weld to it about a 1/4 in when it was hard filed it shaped it spray painted and ran that thing for a long time nobody ever questioned it. I sold the gun but removed the safety .I wish I could find it. will continue looking to post pictures. Funny memory I was actually thinking about trying that exact thing on an extra safety.

Has anyone ordered a safety from the dan wesson site? Im guessing its both sides? The image is only the right. in regards to the trigger, it looks like the ones you can order from them have the tabs on the bow to adjust pretravel. The trigger bow that came in my gun doesn’t have these adjustment tabs… kinda weird? Edited August 17, 2023 by ColoradoNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
