It seems like a lot of effort for two models unless they have something planned further down the line… and I haven’t really seen/heard whisperings of anything along those lines. I mean publicly there’s been 3 different modules shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Maybe commonality of parts, thus reduced costs and more profit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajohnson15 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Someone really aught to just make a steel guide rod that’s ~.325 for the about 1.2 inches ahead of the spring seat and .240 the rest of the length to facilitate standard government length 1911 round wire recoil springs without boring the slide. Really the best upgrade is a 9lbs. Edited March 3 by Ajohnson15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been a compact railed module shown at some point in time. Not released, but obviously the part does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy, get your DWX back yet? I emailed Stuart yesterday and he got right back to me letting me know my slide is at the refinisher so at least there's been some progress. Unfortunately, they were supposed to leave the cuts bare metal and send me some pix to let me decide if I wanted to leave them stainless but they forgot - Doh!

I got the email today. They just finished it, so hopefully I have it back in my hands by end the week. Ugh that's a little annoying, Stewart is great about responding but he seems a little spread thin. Hoping when I get mine back everything is done.

The point was more that you can use regular 1911 gov springs and it makes it easy to find 7,8,9,10,11 lb springs etc. It doesn't add that much weight actually. I also dont think a little bit more weight out front will hurt when you start adding an optic, magwell and loaded mag to the rear of the gun.

glmf40 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Any talk of if/when DW will be filling back orders for the DWX? Having been trying to find one for a couple weeks with zero luck. I did sign up for email notifications at a bunch of known vendors so hoping to get lucky with that. Did already order a bunch of mags through Cote but no pistol to put them in!

About to head to the range. But initial impressions are extremely positive. Mag button is awesome, optic is nice and low, trigger has minimal pre travel and breaks at like 2.5 lbs with a nice positive reset ( maybe not as forceful as it was before, but trigger is lighter too), the whole action is a little extra smooth ( can see all kinds polished areas. I also had a sebo TS2/ TSO open style magwell that didnt quite fit prior. They hand fit it and seems to be fit perfectly now didnt see any gaps etc. Its got a nice large funnel and works well my henning extensions and the oem 22 rounders.

42ATK Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Anyone have any leads on custom slide milling for DWXs? I have a pretty strong idea of what I want. I asked Stuart at CZC (since the pistol is there getting milled for an optic and getting a trigger job) and he gave me a slightly long timeline and I’m impatient lol. I won’t guaranteed get the slide cut (I want to shoot the pistol first) but was pondering what other options are out there… Edited March 18 by 42ATK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
