On a quick test fit, mine doesn't slide into place. I got the aluminum one. Thanks for any help. looks like you got your answer, but I remember mine going on with hand pressure only. Also, just a heads up, the factory mag bases wont work with that mag well. It might seem like they are seating, but the gun wont strip rounds.

I don’t have the pictures with me but if you look back a few pages there is one and I think his website is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctfish Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Playing in Handgun hero website, the DWX grip looks a lot like the CZ TS2. Can anyone comment on a back-to-back grip review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the false start from the original DWX release burned some folks and made some grouchy. Parts will come at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think there may be a widespread belief (even among the industry, judging from 2 email exchanges I've had with folks who should know better) that a 1911/2011 safety will work in a DWX. That may be another reason no one's rushing to make them. DW just ought to offer them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
