By The Numbers

Accuracy
Ten shots touching at 7 yards and three out of five hits on steel at 100 yards with cheap ammo is impressive.
Reliability
The wise use of CZ P-10F/P-09 magazines and a good overall design led to a grand total of zero failures during testing.
Customization
No optics cut. Grips are standard CZ pattern, the rear sight is CZ pattern, and an accessory rail is present. Holster selection and other aftermarket is fairly limited.
Ergonomics
The combination of the Shadow 2-style grip and the 1911 trigger and safety makes for a very comfortable gun. It is a little front-heavy, but that is by design.

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
