What began as an innovative idea among the brilliant minds at CZ and Dan Wesson resulted in the jaw-dropping DWX Pistol, which is a grand melding between the two pistol families. Its locked breech barrel system is simple, ditching the standard 1911 link system and using CZ-style takedown via the slide stop. The easier take-down will be familiar to any hammer-fired CZ owner, as is removing the match-grade barrel due to the bushing-less barrel system that resembles a P-10 or P-09/P-07.
The 10+1 reliable low-cost double-stack 9mm magazines come with flush bases, and many standard 1911 parts enable gunsmiths and competitive shooters to tune the DWX just the way they like it. Sights are easily customized, using a 1911-style dovetailed sight in the front and a CZ Shadow 2-style sight cut in the rear, and the slide is optics-ready. The swappable mag release expands upon the user configuration. With the grip angle and contours that have made the CZ 75 a stand-out in the realm of pistol ergonomics, the DWX is a natural fit for most hands. The DWX can utilize standard grips from a CZ 75. Corresponding magwells for the 75 series are compatible as well. With so many ways to tune and customize, the DWX is sure to shine!
