It's interesting that I started this thread in spring 2020, and still no DWX. I wonder how CZ's recently announced acquisition of Colt might impact the timeline. The long delay has given me time to reflect and reconsider whether I really want a high cap DA/SA for my carry gun. My thinking has changed in that time. I took some more tactical training. I picked up a CZ 75 Shadow Black SA from CZC. And I recently decided to stick with and train on one manual of arms- Single Action. I still love CZ's, but I found out I'm not smart enough or good enough under pressure to remember you can't let your thumb ride a decocker like a safety on a 1911 to control recoil. I sold my CZC Custom PCR to a friend and picked up another 1911.
My carry rotation now includes a Dan Wesson Vigil Commander and an Ed Brown Stainless KC-9. On the rare occasion I think 10 rounds + another full mag I'm training to switch quickly aren't enough, I'll carry the Shadow. I'm currently having some work done and dressing it up for that eventuality. I don't mind the little extra weight over the PCR as I now carry the 1911s anyway. Same motion on all of them- draw, present, depress safety, bang. All incredibly accurate. All have a straight trigger with short reset. I also carry a 1911-ish Sig P938 for warm weather clothes and hiking. Again, 8 rds plus another mag are enough for me unless I'm zombie hunting. I hear a lot of folks like me a re going back to single stacks.
As for the DWX-C? Sorry, but I don't plan to update this thread. Someone else can. Dan Wesson might have had me with the DWX-C six months ago. But now, I have no use for it. And, to be honest, taking two classic but very different designs like the 1911 and the CZ 75, each near perfect and beautiful in its own way, and sticking them together has produced an ugly gimmick, IMO. DW doesn't need that to sell more guns in the current climate. We'll have to see if it is ever produced.
