Whoa ho ho - Dan Wesson X - CZ ergos, CZ mags, CZC killer?

[Earl Keese]

the only thing i can say is WOW. that graph is amazing. I did no think that the BA was lower on CZ.  But I do think that of the difference  in slide to frame system makes the CZ muzzle rise just a bit less.

A well sorted 1911 in 9mm shoots incredibly flat, but I agree that the ergos of the CZ are what make the bigger difference.  The Sig P226 has a crazy high bore axis, but the grips are shaped perfectly for my hands so the gun returns to the same spot with little effort.  Glocks have the lowest bore axis but the frame shape took a lot more practice for me to get my grip technique dialed in.

I think a 2011 with real CZ ergos is the perfect combo. I've been toying with building a 2011. I already bought a frame/grip/Magwell & associated parts but I don't shoot Limited and Open is soooooo expensive.

I just got an STI Staccato P Duo a couple of weeks ago and now this happens...

I'm good for now though, the DWX in a configuration I would really want will probably take a while, I'm still waiting on my BREN 2 after all...

I LOVE the STI, it is a wonderful gun, but this Dan Wesson X fixes the basic gripes I've always had about 1911s. I don't like grip safeties, barrel links and separate bushings. And needing a paper clip or a piece of plastic to keep the spring system together during cleaning is a PITA for sure. You can't beat a good 1911 trigger though... Dan Wesson is awesome for doing this.

I'd like a DWX in as close to the same configuration as my Staccato P Duo, a shorter than 5 inch barrel and pre-cut for an optic with properly sized back-up irons out of the box. I really like the Dawson optic plate system on the Staccato P Duo.

Combo of the CZ 75 design ergos, CZ SP01 design steel rail, the CZ P07/09 design barrel, lock up and disassembly, and a DW 1911 designed trigger mechanism and slide ON frame construction, all merged into a single pistol, and I believe all Dan Wessons are built in the USA....

This will give my Beretta Elite LTT a run for top gun in my pistol collection...

HOLY S#%T!!! That is absolutely stunning to me. I’m not really a 1911 or CZ guy but I love me some CZ clones.

Magwell options for limited guys?

[LonChaney]

I want to see the compact version. Then I want someone to make a threaded barrel and comp so I can turn it into a Roland Special type deal.

TSO/ Czechmate magwells will work according to the product release

Definitely. I think I'm most interested in the compact as well.

Well done, sir!

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.---- I like it.

All I know is they combined my 2 favorite guns.Need to sell my chopper so I can buy one. Can't ride it any way with a bum leg.

Dang man I would sell a lot of guns to get a chopper, maybe we can work something out?  [emoji2957][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji106]

Any more info on the Compact?

[falar]

Sweet gun. But it looks like the barrel sits higher so it might affect recoil.

This was my observation as well.

Any info on the compact? Using 75 compact mags is cool.

Low bore axis on CZ's is kind of an optical illusion because of the slide in frame design.  Strong hand distance from the bore is about the same.

But that doesn't take into effect where your hand will be while gripping the pistol.  You can get a much higher hold on the CZ 75.

Actually, a 9mm 1911 slide tends to move slower than a CZ75 9mm. A 2011 is actually very controllable for follow up shots, .40 included. I bet this DW is a big step up from a TSO, and not just in the trigger dept.

Some slide weights I've measured:

1911 (Colt S70) 13.2 oz
SP-01 Shadow 12.3 oz
Shadow 2 13.7 oz
TSO 9mm 13.7 oz
Tanfoglio Stock III 13.3 oz
Tanfoglio Limited 12.6 oz

Compact is now on Dan Wesson website.
