DWX and AO1 LD

[Philipl]

Very similar firearms. Dimensions about the same. Mags are the same (different bases DWX base is not as thick). DWX fits perfectly in AO1 holster. Both with about 1 pound trigger pull (SA).

both amazingly accurate

Very different barrels.

i see a lot of fun there!

Which do you prefer & why?

[Philipl]

The AO1 is DA SA which I like especially in a carry gun but neither will be carried. The DWX is a couple of hundred dollars less expensive AND much easier to take apart. I will shoot the DWX more (it is a newer toy). Both are excellent!

Very surprised the holster fit with how different the trigger guard shapes are

Thanks, looking fwd to more feedback as you put more rds down range

Glad your DWX is working out so good. Would you mind posting some pictures of it broken down? Just curious how it all works. Really wanting to find one.

Looks awesome, thanks for the comparison

I had posted this link previously of a picture showing a DWX which has been disassembled.  Perhaps this will help until an actual owner of a DWX has time to respond.

It will be quite a while before I fully take down my DWX. Thanks to rbuzz for the schematic

What did you do to get the trigger to 1lb on the DWX?! Mine was 4lb stock. With an EGW ignition kit it’s down to 2lb 4oz

[Philipl]

That's the way it came. Just did an average of 4 pulls and 1.12

[rbuzz00]

I'm not trying to dispute or be skeptical about any ones reported trigger weight readings, but I think it's important to remember that the way that a trigger weight is checked is very important.

If the trigger is tested by quickly pulling back the trigger gauge, the resulting rating will always be much lower.  The correct way is to pull the gauge back as slowly as possible, preferably with the gauge in the center of the trigger.

Again, I'm not disputing any ones readings, but I know from experience that the readings can vary by sometimes as much as 2 to 3 pounds just by how the test is taken and how fast/slow the gauge is pulled back. I can take one of my pistols and get wildly different ratings by doing either a fast pull, or a slow pull. 

[Philipl]

rbuzz is correct. I just did an average of 4 pulls on my Wheeler gauge and with a "quick jerk" it was 1.9 ounces. with a slow pull it was 1.24 pounds

EDIT For grins I got out my old Lyman trigger gauge and did 5 slow pulls which averaged 1 pound 8.2 ounces both gauges are battery operated
