JDIllon Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Anyone using a Dovetail Red Dot mount? And if so which one? Thanks, JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, JD I've used the CZ Custom universal plate on 2 SP-01s. I didn't have any issues from them coming lose while shooting, but I did bump a dot getting in/out of a side-by-side that knocked it loose. I think the DWX would use the same plate.

JDIllon Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The #10683 does not fit? Anyone know what mount works? JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this same A01 LD LTD. I love it. I had a stock DWX recently and took my A01, the DWX, my Accushadow2 and my Atlas Titan to get a feel for how the DWX compared. I sold DWX this week. It's a good gun but it's just not at the level of accuracy and speed of the others. I knew the DWX would just be the step child. Every one of the others just smoked it.

42ATK Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Anyone have photos of their dot millings with a 507Comp and where they got it from? I want to avoid ejection port overhang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to avoid ejection port overhang https://photos.app.goo.gl/XuAygt5VnP5yFaRJ8 Wicked Arms in Baton Rouge, LA. I'm local and my turnaround time was ~2 weeks. As you can see, it isnt even close to the ejection port. I have a photo of an SRO on this cut and the SRO "hood" is about flush with the ejection port. There is about an 1/8" from the back of the cut to the firing pin retaining block. This could be further minimized to get the optic further back.

You're seriously comparing a couple $4k guns and one with a CZC trigger job to something bone stock? Lol, okay then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I would put my DWX up against any gun I’ve owned (if you know me then you know all I have owned over the years) regarding shoot-ability and accuracy. The CZC full action trigger job makes it pretty amazing. No it’s not fit like an SV or Venom but doesn’t cost anything near those and that is the exact reason I got it. Don’t care about that anymore. The DWX shoots better than my A01 guns by the way. Hard to beat a crisp single action trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Once I got the trigger down to around 3# I really like the way the gun shoots. At 35 feet 10 rnds in 2.5in center. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadShot Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I looked at a DWX at my local gun store and notice it a fair amount of play between the slide and frame at the muzzle. Is this normal? My Parrot has some play here also, but not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose97 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Just placed my order for mag extensions (Henning), springs (Grams) and grips & magwell (Lok). Seriously considering the CZ Custom full action trigger job down the line. My DWX is gonna be a nice LO blaster soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the barrel lock up is super tight and I will stand with my previous statement that this is the most accurate pistol I have ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadShot Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Good info, thanks. Do you know if that play increases as time goes on? I'm into 1911's and do all my own trigger work. The combo of CZ and 1911 might make for a nice Limited Optics gun. I talked to Stuart at CZ about some sort of dove tail mount for a red dot, didn't seem like there is one available.

JDIllon Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I’ve checked everywhere and I can’t find any dovetail that works. Also I did my own trigger spring work and got the trigger to 2.5 to 3 lbs. And the gun shoots great. Take up and reset are just fine for me. I would do that before doing a trigger job. Just my .02.

BadShot Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 2.5lbs is just about ideal for my taste. I hate to make a permanent cut in the slide and lose the iron sights. I'm wondering if there will be an optic ready version coming out. Posvar, I think that you're right, my Parrot hasn't gotten any looser over the years.

I read somewhere on social media that a DWX owner was able to get another slide and had it cut so he could have both worlds. It may be worth looking into.

Thats funny I have the same pistols also. They are all good just at different levels. Variety is nice to have in the gun safe. Enjoy bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose97 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Anyone who's done the Lok magwell - did yours require fitting or did it slip right on? On a quick test fit, mine doesn't slide into place. I got the aluminum one. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
