Guns.com claims to have some, including one set up nearly exactly as I want it (but they’re asking retail for a used gun with used accessories).

I don’t know if they’re legit.

Hope to take it to the range tomorrow. I’ve already ordered mags, black trigger, and replacement grips (black Lokgrip thin gridlok Al).

Today is my first shooting day with it, not sure when replacement parts will show up.


Gonna go for my morning PT, then I’m off to the range.

I’m seriously considering buying some of the custom wood grips from lsgrips. I can’t decide on which set, so I’m stalled for now. He has some beautiful dyed burl and other custom scales that he can cut for a CZ75 pattern.

@BisonWorld Nice. What help would you provide? For starters, I am at an impasse as to which scales to get.

PM if you’d rather keep it private. Thanks.

Got some LokGrips Aluminum Thin Gridloks. They look awesome, they are extremely aggressive.

These will very likely be used as competition grips and replaced by some of the LSgrips I posted above.

From what I’ve read, mag wells are Tactical Sports magwells.

I’m not currently planning on getting one.

The gun gods are funny. Of course when a DWX came up available for me, I had just purchased another $1000+ gun and although I can afford a DWX, I just didn’t have the cash at the time to drop on it DESPITE a good price.  That was actually on Gunbroker so look there also.

Really struggling on what holster to buy for it.

I want leather and I’m leaning toward TheSoutherTrapper, but I can’t decide on which holster. I want a full brown alligator, but with light bearing, RDS, AND suede lining you’re talking a $440 holster (before adding a matching mag carrier) and that’s more than I want to spend.

May settle on The Officer.

Sea Witch is another one I love but not sure I want to spend the $ on.

CZ-USA shipped part of my order (a black trigger) to some dude in DFW area without telling me it was shipped, and now has shipped another chunk of my order (3 mags) without telling me it’s en route. No one was home on Friday, and today I was in the shower when the doorbell rang.

I’ve had them forward it to a Walgreens. Hoping I can pick it up tomorrow.

Ordered and paid for the Sea Witch (shark skin) holster from The Southern Trapper and now they’re saying they want a picture of the gun with the 509T on it. Unfortunately, I have not had it optic cut yet.

Guess I need to email DSC again to get THAT ball rolling.


edit: got the call from TheSoutherTrapper this morning… now a 6-8 week wait for the holster!
Still waiting on my bud to contact me back before I place an order for “carry/show” grips.

First off, I’m an absolute moron. I managed to get my entire gun broken down and replaced my red trigger with a black one. I thought I lost my safety detent and spring, but it turns out it was laying on the edge of my workspace. Then, when trying to reinstall the safeties (GRRRR) I managed to launch the detent and spring into near earth orbit. Yay.

Now, it appears I’ve while trying to install the safeties I managed to dent the little track in the inside face of the right hand safety where the hammer pin sits. 😤 I intend to try and fix this with a needle file.

Dan Wesson has NEITHER of those items for sale on their website. Anyone have any idea where I can find them? Is the safety detent and spring just a standard 1911 item?


Edit: apparently the safety plunger and safety plunger spring are standard 1911 items.

I spoke to ECW, they make the safeties, but don’t sell them retail.
Dan Wesson/CZ I’m waiting on email/call back from Genny (Dan Wesson).
CGW-waiting on return email.
CZC emailed me back most Rikki-Tikki. They want to know if it causes issues with the safety function (why yes, yes it does!). CZC suggests buying a new safety from DW. Says probably about same price to fix and re-nitride. I’ll keep them in mind if DW refuses to sell one to me.

Was able to find plunger and plunger spring locally.

Yes. I found a chart that listed parts and that one was listed as 1911. Plus some personal testimonials from other posters. I’ll try to find chart.

On a side note, I cut my DWX on my mill last week for the SRO. First time I have done this so I had a machinist buddy keep an eye on me. Self trained hobbyist for about 2 years now but went without any issues. Love the SRO on this pistol and really happy with the DWX overall. Have about 1k rounds through it. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2538-3192792.jpghttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2539-3192793.jpghttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2524-3192796.jpghttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2538-3192798.jpghttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2539-3192800.jpghttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/41209/IMG_2541-3192801.jpg

I fired a friends brand new DWX last weekend, very nice gun but honestly the trigger was a tiny bit on the heavy side. Felt like 3.5-4lbs and I feel like the safety is a little small, especially with how stiff it was. I'm sure that will smooth out over time but it was fairly hard to manipulate in its current state. If they offered one just a tiny bit wider it would be perfect to me.

The trigger definitely needs tuned. It doesn't take too much work to get it into the 2-3lb range
