The DWX is a perfect combination of Dan Wesson and CZ pistols. Features a crisp fire control group from a DW 1911 with the ergonomics and capacity of a CZ. Originally developed for competition use, it uses a simple locked breech barrel system and a CZ-style takedown via the slide stop. The match grade barrel is easily removable due to a bushing-less barrel system similar to a P-10, P-09/P-07.

A railed dustcover offers additional weight for recoil management while accepting rail mounted weapon lights. The double stack magazines allows for a capacity of 15 rounds with flush base pads, while many standard 1911 parts are compatible for tuning by gunsmiths and competitive shooters. The compact DWX uses CZ 75 Compact grips, 75 series magwells and accepts 1911-style dovetailed front sights and CZ Shadow 2 rear sights.
