Dan Wesson DWX: 1911/CZ-75 hybrid Fullsize and Compact

I just went thru the website and saw that there will be a railed version of the compact. I’m in.

This is pretty exciting. Dan Wesson is owned by CZ, so hopefully they can just take the CZ optics mounting system and put it on these. I think that’s one of the better mounting systems on the market, so it would be a major plus to this pistol.

I’d be willing to bet many of the 2011 frame-mounted optic bridges would be compatible with these guns. If I weren’t already heavily invested in the P320 platform, I’d be getting one of the railed compact DWX models and turning it into a hybrid Roland Special-Open gun; Frame-mounted RDS, micro comp, Surefire X300U, and low-profile magwell

Got my hands on both of these (unfortunately, not shooting them) at a trade show a bit over a week ago. Both full and compact felt great, smooth action, snug fit. Ergonomics felt great. If I understood don’t, talking to the rep, the full and compact use different mags (P10 vs CZ75 compact mags, if I recall right). They def need to bump up the advertising, it could be a real winner.
