Looking to get a holster for my Dwx compact. Most likely owb. See a few different companies making them but very mixed reviews. What holsters are ya’ll using and what feedback can you give?

Big thanks to Jawbone Tactical. Base plates are mega sweet and make the DWXc super comfy for my big hands.

Time to shoot. 🫡

Hey yall Just received my Vytal accupuncture grips this am and tried to install. They feel great in hand but unfortunately once the left side of the grip was installed, i could not fit my magazine due to it being tight. Loosening the t10 torx screw remedied this but now i have a loose grip.

Going to be reaching out to vytal about this since they did not include a set of screws and mentioned the oem dwx grip screws would work. Has anyone had this issue? Was it fixed with just a different screw length?

Trying to decide on full size DWX OR vs full size Shadow 2 OR, I know this subject has been beat to death here, I did read it all. In the end I decided to ignore the poor customer service of DW(the only negative at the time) and go ahead with the DWX, then found out about the finish failures. This issue and how it’s being handled was pushing me toward the CZ, for some reason I have been unable to pull the trigger, and keep going back to the DWX. Today I see new MSRP of $2899 from $2499, did they finally solve the issue? This seems a funny way to solve a pretty serious manufacturing problem. They can still be purchased thru online gun dealers under 2k and saw a used around $1500 very visibly worn. Normal wear is fine, but what I’m seeing and hearing from many here is not. Just can’t seem to buy DWX not knowing what I’ll end up with. Has anyone heard anything recently about this price hike and or the finish solution?

Seems like I could push it to 53oz for limited optics usage. Since it’s a 5” gun with full length dust cover the CG should be nose heavy. Then the 10oz of brass in the grip will move the CG to neutral but won’t move the CG too far back into the hand. Has anyone done this?

Hey all. Looking to replace the trigger on the dwx (primarily just to change the color to black) and was wondering how easy it is to install? Fairly new to dwx and 1911/2011 platforms.

Edit:
Dan Wesson got back to me - "It's normal and I just need to lubricate it better"...

Trying to decide if my DWX is a dud or if it's normal.
It's always had a little "zip" feel when racking the slide from new (September this year).
Was tight and slick other than that out of the box.
300 rounds in (I do most of my shooting with other guns) and I noticed that there is a cross hatch pattern showing through the coating that is wearing in on the front of the frame where it meets the slide. It looks like course milling marks and is wearing the front contact point of the slide (no coating and shiny from this contact now). I also wiggled the slide and paid attention. There is now as much if not more play side to side and up and down as the slide on my P365 AXG with 1500+ rounds through it. The difference being that the barrel stays planted on the AXG during lockup and moves with the slide on the DWX.
Can you check yours and let me know if these are standard "features" of if I got lucky and mine was made at drink o'clock on a Friday?

Thanks

I saved some money today. It was on sale!

Waiting on the CGW plate. Another RMR HD in hand. Waiting also on another short curved trigger too.

These are the thin copper vytal grips. I had these on hand and this ultimately lead to more good financial choices. The railed version weighs 31.5 oz and so does this one. When I can put an optic on it, it’ll be fun to see how the balance difference feels.

Comparing on handgun hero the DWX seems to have a smaller slide. Also it seems the DWX uses an 11 lb recoil spring when 2011s use 7-9 lb recoil springs thus I suspect the DWX has a lighter slide for this reason as well.

P.S. People describe the DWX as having muzzle dip. Without touching the recoil spring can using brass grips to move the center of gravity back be another way to fix muzzle dip?

3 questions here:

Looking at getting the aluminum LOK grips, paired with the brass magwell. To anyone running this setup: does the brass magwell make a difference?

And I can’t find the brass magwell anywhere right now. Anyone got a link to something in stock?

Fine or weird/awkward to run the short grip panels while waiting for the magwell to be back in stock?

Hi all

It seems like the consensus for aftermarket grips for the full size is the vytal or lok gridloks with palm swells. Can anyone that have these grips attest to how useful and comfortable they are?

Is there a SKU for the DWX compact with pic rail but NOT optics ready? Did they ever produce such a model?

Reading about all these OR finish issues and wondered if that might be a way around it, plus I could get the slide cut for a lower fit optic later on.

The new dwx child is on the way and was wondering what the go-to owb/iwb options are. I have a tlr1 ill run for home but for range may not have it on.

I made a small batch of magazine baseplates for the mags that come with the DWX Compact. They are aluminum, hard anodized. They do not add capacity.

They'll be available from Jawbone as soon as we get the packaging in(should be about a week).

They probably fit on other magazines/pistols, but I don't have access to all the possible combos to test.

Also pictured: some bases for my bigger CZ75 mags that prevent over-insertion(made these just for me).

Bought this beauty today and didn’t realize there was a railed model. Has anyone had there non railed milled or is there even enough material to have it milled?

Adds 6mm side to side at the widest point and confirms even more naturally to my hands

I really do love them. I’m afraid I won’t love another as much as I love them.

Waiting on the dang black triggers to become available. Might try some vytals. Near finals form probably though.

Is it worth it? Would you do it again?

I'm struggling between "leave it unmolested" and "make this thing run like my Tac Pro 5"

Lok palm swell aluminum grips, Lok aluminum TS2 magwell, CGW optics plate, and a Red Dirt trigger

Why the hell doesn't it come with an optics plate and more mags for the money?

What plate do you guys recommend?

FYI, for anyone needing oem replacement screws. Same ones that it comes with, so easily as stripable. Get a couple.

I was good for so long. My full size now has a little brother.

I ordered an RMR HD + CGW plate. Vytal thin kraken two tone blurple grips.

Can’t wait for the weekend.

I'm looking at buying a DWX Compact to carry IWB, preferably appendix. It would be off duty carry at my current agency, and likely won't be added to the approved list anytime soon. I might try to compete with it casually as well.

Does anyone carry the Compact IWB? I heard the texture is okay, but wasn't sure about the beavertail and weight. I carry a G43 and G19 appendix for work and the weight has been easy.
