Probably S2 but hard to say! I’d say the trigger guard is more CZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody909 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The trigger guard does look a lot more like a S2 but with a light bearing holster the kydex would never touch the trigger guard. My main concern would be if the top of the slide would be too tall for a light bearing holster made for a S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what kind of holster cross compatibly does it have? I'm sending mine to Primary Machine for optics cut, their work is outstanding! I've asked them to do something about removing the front sight slot, they said they could come up with something cool. Red Hill Tactical is my go-to for holsters - have 3 now I think, all excellent.

Pitt Bull Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I am having trouble getting 147 grain blue bullets to run in the DWX. I was loading them at 1.135 oal and was having trouble with extraction after shooting a couple of hundred rounds. When I took the barrel out and but a loaded bullet (clean barrel) it did not want to fall out. I had to take oal down to 1.100 to get it to fall out consistently. I reduced the powder charge to from 3.1 of Tight Group at 1.135 Power Factor 138 to 2.9 in the 1.100. The Power Factor is 134 now but recoil is extremely hard. I believe this is due to compressing the load. What would you suggest? Different powder, bullet weight ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

To answering your question IMO those bullets suck. The shape is pretty hard to deal with in CZ’s. Switch to something with a flat nose or send the barrel to be reamed. My DWX plunk tested to 1.15 with acme 147 FN’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ's typically have tight chambers - I sent my Czechmate barrels to be throated (Great guy here on BE). I can now load up to 1.165 - but I never do. I would suggest trying various OALs to see what works. Bullet profile can make a difference also, plunk test the actual completed cartridge you will be using. 1.125 with one bullet can be very different that 1.125 with another. I also use 124gr RMR FMJ bullets almost exclusively - I like the way those feel, 147s feel sort of...sluggish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catabol3 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Does anyone know what type of grip screws the DWX uses? I have heard they are standard 1911 screws, but when I tried threading in a Cylinder & Slide 1911 screw into the frame it seemed like it was not going in all the way. It started like everything was cool, then it stopped and I did not want to force anything and mess up the threads. https://cylinder-slide.com/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=CS0147B&sid=91j9jw7ci0w9743k776x3oey3ph2x0ys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice! Looks like CZC got that SRO deep in the slide, have you shot it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drell Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Yea the SRO is nice and deep, shot about 20 rounds through it to sight it in. Shot really nice, but might have to tweak the sear spring a bit to try and lighten the trigger a tad. Hopefully I can get back to the range this weekend and put a couple hundred down range.
