Anyone else chomping at the bit for these? I plan to buy the compact no-rail first and immediately swap out the red trigger for a Harrison.
I reached out to Keith earlier today for an update:  Attached File |

I guess I'll get to one when I get to one. I was quite excited for them, but the delay has caused me to move on to other projects.
I'll be interested to hear from anybody on Arf that gets one though! |

They are a double stack 9mm or 40S&W and take CZ mags. The 9 uses CZ compact mags, same as P-01 or CZ 75 Compact or PCR.

Thanks for the update.
I’ve been waiting all year for a range review. I love my shadow2 but I’ve never shot it DA and would prefer a 2011 type trigger. Then i saw the DWX and it was everything I've been wanting. However, Im not a buyer until they make an optics ready version. |

Last year I blew my DWX money on a TRG-22. This year it may just be a PVS-14 if they don't hurry up.
The sucky part is I've had 18 magazines for over a year now just waiting for the DWX to be released. If magazine prices go crazy I'm going to have a hard time hanging onto them when I can't even get the gun that I bought them for. |

I've bought the equivalent of 5 DWX's between their original due date and now.
I'm no longer interested, unfortunately. Wish DW and CZ the best of luck. |

The only new gun to light my fire in a long time. I love a 1911 and a CZ-75. I'd probably get the compact first, then maybe swap my CZ TS toward a full size down the road a bit.

Hence I want the compact, as it by default will also take the longer standard CZ 75 mags, that I happen to have a bunch of.
I've been holding off any handgun purchases since the DWX was announced, simply because it will be a bit of a stretch to get one, but I want one. If Joe will let us by the time it is released... |

The only reason I haven’t bought a TS2 is wanting the DX more.

I like CZs, but even I feel that their fire control lockwork is overly complex, fiddly to work on, and the geometry on their hammer/sear interface is poor which leads to camming of the hammer in single action mode. There is no real excuse for this as both CZCustom and Cajun have improved geometry hammer/sear sets that eliminate this issue. Why can't the factory just do it?
That said my CZ Custom Shop prepped SP 01 Phantom is my most accurate 9mm pistol. I am expecting the DWX to be that much better again. |

I've never understood the safety location gripe. On 1911/2011s and Shadow 1/2/TSO I use the safety as a thumbrest.
It isnt exactly the same but close enough to not matter. Just about any sight setup you can dream of is available for CZs, I like CZC and Dawson fronts with HAJO or Zendl rears. |

Suffice to say the DWX will suit the muscle memory of 2011 shooters better than any 75 design.

The light rail is to add weight up front for competition. I see very few people actually putting a light on it. I want the carry version. For carry. |

If I were able to get a full size, I’m already planning on putting an RMR, a Surefire x300u, and a pair of Lok grips. Probably would throw it in a level 2 holster from RHT.
But I already carry a S2 with optic and light, so this would be a matched pistol in essence. Then I’d have to get a P-10/09 of course for mag compatibility... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You do realize that a light rail with all those slots actually lightens the gun. It would actually be heavier if they didn't mill that out. All of CZ's other comp guns either have no rail or a single slot rail. The light rail adds a couple oz over a plain dust cover. Compare an SP-01 to a 75. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You have to compare apples to apple, not apples to pears. A dust cover milled for a light rail will be lighter then the same exact part that is not milled. I mean, if we're talking about the same frame before and after milling, sure. But pistol frames that are altered to allow for a rail are much larger/beefier up front so that they can be machined for a rail. In every instance I've weighed a railed frame vs non railed, the railed frame was heavier. 1911 Beretta 92 series P226/Mk 25 Tanfoglio Stock III vs Limited Custom Time will tell if the pattern holds up with the DWX. Looking at the pics it may be close as they do look similar which makes sense since this was designed from the beginning to be offered both ways. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I mean, if we're talking about the same frame before and after milling, sure. Just like your example of the P226R weighing more then the standard P226. They didn't do it to add weight, they did it to allow the use of a light. The original 226 X-Five Competition guns used the same heavy frame but without milling for the rail. That's the way IMO to do a comp gun. Who knows really why they designed it the way they did but personally I don't think it was done specifically to add weight for the comp guys. I think they just thought it looked cool or cause they think that's what the market wants? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NVGdude stated the rail was added to increase weight for comp use. My point was if weight was the goal then they could have used the same frame without the milling the light rail or even spit the difference and do a light rail but with only one slot like they do on the Shadow 2 models. Just like your example of the P226R weighing more then the standard P226. They didn't do it to add weight, they did it to allow the use of a light. The original 226 X-Five Competition guns used the same heavy frame but without milling for the rail. That's the way IMO to do a comp gun. Who knows really why they designed it the way they did but personally I don't think it was done specifically to add weight for the comp guys. I think they just thought it looked cool or cause they think that's what the market wants? In the case of the Stock III and Shadow 2 the railed frame was certainly there just for weight since they were purpose-built USPSA/IPSC Production guns. Interestingly USPSA will now allow weaponlights so time will tell if people opt to add even more weight. The DWX (at least some models) is geared towards Limited but they appear to also be marketing it to their typical 1911 cutomers too by offering compact models as well as railed models. That being the case this style of a rail makes more sense for people actually looking to use it as it will accommodate a wider range of accessories. The A01-LD is made in the same fat frame model you describe as being ideal. The old SIG custom shop guns weren't all made with the fat LDC style dustcover, many had 1913 rails and they even made a badass weight/extension that could mount to it. So there are a few ways to add weight. |
