Dan Wesson 1911 meets CZ-75 = DWX

[Expat]

Do they have a standard magazine for 2011 models across manufacturers?

They do for 2011s, but that thing isn't a 2011. Anything that uses a descendant of the McCormick-Tripp frame uses the same magazines. That's STI, S-V, Phoenix Trinity, SPS, and probably a few others.

Thanks for that.
I just read on FB that it will use P09 mags.

Those are silly expensive in themselves.

Still cheaper than 2011 mags as far as I have seen.

.might have to get one as a companion to my Sig 320 legion

Absolute truth. Getting a good 2011 mag and add the right spring and base you can be north of $100 a piece.

If you opt for the .40 S&W version, mags are only $13 on clearance at Midwayusa right now.

This has a high probability of impacting my pocketbook. IMO it would look awesome with a set of figured rosewood or cocobolo grips on it!

Is the rear of the slide cut to reduce glare?

 

[Grelber]

Am surprised they stayed with the single grip screw, only pita I've had with CZ's and Tanfos is having the grips start to wobble during a match.

This looks interesting. DW's version of a 2011. 19+1 1911.

What's this going to cost? I'm in lust with a Kimber Raptor II 10mm right now but this looks good too.

Staying with the single grip screw gives this gun instant aftermarket support for grips. But, I do agree that the CZ grip screw is a weak point in the design

MSRP is $1799 iirc.

And they do offer it in a 40 S&W also.

That’s the one that I’d be interested in

MSRP $1800 or there abouts.

Man I would blow off the Kimber and be looking at a DW. JMHO

After you said this I started researching Kimber. Not to reliable it seems. So many have problems with them.

So when did Kimber get a bad reputation? For years they were solid, reliable performers, but now most 1911 people reject them.

Not sure when but I checked all over the net it's a gamble if you have to return it or not. I thought Taurus had a bad reputation. If Kimber is that bad how do they still get $1300 or more for their firearms?
