DAN WESSON DWX COMPACT IDPA UPDATE

As we continue our journey to attempt to use the DWX Compact in the IDPA Compact Carry Pistol class I'll show you the good, the bad and the ugly of what I've had to endure to get aftermarket parts and info about this awesome pistol. IT WASN'T EASY !!!!

[@BertShackleford]

So what I am hearing is that you are mildly disappointed that a _carry_ pistol is not a _competition_ pistol. In turn, you have optimized the DWX Compact for competition which is your intended purpose.
Does that sound like an accurate assessment?
You sir, might be the only person that is displeased with the DWX. Others, despite its minor intricacies and/or lack of features, have nothing but high praise for both the full size and compact. While it is good to hear that some have found fault. It feels like those "faults" are more personal preference rather than poor design.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your candid approach to such a unique pistol. Your super sleuthing will, no doubt, help others along the way.
Stay classy my friend.

CZ 75 compact grips do fit

Thank you for your detailed journey. After watching this I’m gonna skip the DWX compact and stick with my shadow 2 compact

[@RTS907]

Thanks for the in-depth analysis of the DWX compact. I’m not a match shooter, I’m just holding off until the optic cut models come out. (Subd)

I use the old school rubber base plate from the older CZ P01. I wish I could send a photo.

Thanks for the video!

Literally drooling here....sexy gun!

[@williamrandolph1566]

I just googled "what sights does Dan Wesson DWX compact use?" and the answer that came up was Novak cut.
I am interested in changing the front and rear sights myself.

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Dawson has them. @@williamrandolph1566

The LoK palm swell brass or aluminum for cz compact fit absolutely perfectly…and brass adds nice weight to it…fits better then stock ones

[@westtexassuperior4507]

Could have called CZ custom or Cajun Gun works and saved you a lot of time

[@robertgilpin7366]

I put a 17 pound hammer spring in mine. I also cut 1 coil off the hammer spring. I played with the sear spring and I got my trigger down to right at 2 pound trigger pull

[@boxerjoe1314]

Thanks for being the IDPA pioneer on this gun.
I was surprised the 16 rd mag fit in the box.
Once you overcome your training issues, I don't know of another gun that would exceed the accuracy and trigger you've created with this in the CCP division.
Do the current grips affect your windage? If not, why change them.

[@Rothbardy]

Doesn’t look like DW put enough effort behind this project, which is a shame.I like the DWX series and want to see how it evolves.

[@TheMaini89]

The thin mags will warp after continuous dropping on hard surfaces…then will cause malfunctions

[@ZensivYT]

lmao your able to do more research about this then ameriglow, dawson, and dan wesson! wild

[@chrisjgilmore1]

For a $2k gun you shouldn’t have to tune it…. Plus where is the Optic cut?

[@mooktemas6800]

He is tuning a carry gun for competition. So what’s your point again?
