CZ and Dan Wesson collaborated to bring us the DWX pistol, a true combination of the 1911 and CZ 75 platforms. It uses a simple locked-breech barrel system in lieu of the older 1911 link system. A CZ-style takedown is also used. The use of P-09/P-10 F magazines provides a reliable low-cost double-stack magazine that sports 19+1 capacity. Sights-wise, you get a 1911-style dovetailed front sight and a CZ Shadow 2 fully adjustable rear. The melding of 1911 and CZ features provide a unique-yet-familiar platform that is built for speed and performance.

Hands-On Reviews & Related Post
Dan Wesson DWX Variations & Comparables
The Staccato P masterfully treads the line between being a duty gun, a competition pistol, and a range toy. It excels in all of those roles thanks to its reliability, accuracy, and extremely soft shooting characteristics. Designed with law enforcement in mind, the Staccato P exceeds the standards of law enforcement department evaluations for accuracy, reliability, and endurance testing. Elite units like the Texas Rangers and US Marshals Special Operations put their trust in the Staccato P as it’s approved by more than 667 law enforcement agencies across the country.
The Staccato XC is designed with speed and performance in mind. An integrated compensated barrel and 2.5-pound trigger help deliver a lightning-fast, low-recoil recoil shooting experience. The XC is hand-assembled to deliver speed, reliability, and outstanding accuracy, making it an excellent choice for competitive shooters or those looking for a top-tier home defense gun alike. All Staccato XC pistols come optics-ready.
The Staccato XL blends speed, balance, and accuracy to deliver an extremely high-level performing pistol that is ready for competition or fun at the range. A Dawson Precision 5.4-inch barrel and Tool Less Recoil System combined with a light slide help create a fast cycling weapon that also benefits from a long sight radius. These features, combined with a crisp 2.5-pound trigger, make for an enjoyable and rewarding shooting experience.
“The CZ Shadow 2 boasts legendary accuracy, reliability, and shootability. Its ergonomics, phenomenal trigger, and added weight help make this one of the flattest, easiest shooting pistols on the market. If you are looking for an off the shelf ready competition gun, home-defense gun, or a fun range toy, there are few guns that do it better than the Shadow 2.” – Johnny B.
“With a flared mag well and a large mag release, reloads are quick and easy. The streamlined slide reduces muzzle flip and helps keep follow-on shots on target. CZ’s TS 2 is heavy but also a very appealing and purposefully designed competition pistol. While I know of others who have run their TS 2 without ever having an issue, the model we received did not like to shoot dirty — so a good cleaning is recommended when you take it out.”

final verdict
“After waiting for this gun with bated breath, I can say I am pleased. Dan Wesson put out a fantastic product here. I don’t think it is a Staccato or a Shadow killer, but it is definitely their equal. The lack of an optics cut at its price point is going to hinder this gun’s popularity significantly, but I hope that Dan Wesson rectifies this in the near future. But if optics aren’t your thing and you are looking for a high-end handgun that will knock your socks off, the DWX is worth a look. It is fast, flat-shooting, accurate, and has an amazing trigger.” – Wyatt Sloan
