About this product

Looking for a .40 S&W that does more than one thing well? The Dan Wesson DWX is designed to perform, blending features from both Dan Wesson’s 1911 experience and CZ’s modern polymer frames. While initially built with competitive shooting in mind, it’s a very capable handgun for home defense and can be carried comfortably by those who prefer a larger, all-metal pistol.

DWX Features

The DWX combines a crisp single-action trigger – similar to what you’d find on a Dan Wesson 1911 – with the ergonomics and higher capacity of a CZ-style platform. It disassembles using a CZ-style takedown procedure via the slide stop. The sights are easily customized with a dovetail front sight and a CZ Shadow 2-style rear sight cut.
