This comment right here.....people are quick to voice their opinions in the comme ts on just about every firearms thread nowadays. I've been a part of many of them myself. It becomes very poisonous after a while. I'm learning to keep it positive and just let people enjoy what they have. It's a shame, but anyone notice how female shooters never argue about this sort of thing? It's always the guys.
Chris, one of the things I love about your channel is no matter how dedicated to 2A, you are more dedicated to and love your wife! You are what real men should be.
Just picked up my first DWX Compact with factory rail and optic cut. Absolutely love it! Own many wilson combat and nighthawks, and compared to them there is not much perceived difference especially for a 1.5k to 3.5k price difference. Has become one of my all time favorite carry options...Ballbearing smooth slide, very fast and flat shooting with laser accuracy! Well done CZ/Dan Wesson!!
In this type of market, my pick is either the DWX Compact or Wilson Combat SFX9. Kimber also just unveiled a 4 inch barreled 15 round 9mm 1911 with no grip safety. I however will have nothing to do with Kimber. It's one of the manufacturers I avoid like the plague.
@@HorsepowerDr Not so good quality control and even worse customer service. Even good companies let out a lemon here and there. But what seals it for me is not standing by your mistake. From what I've heard about Kimber, even if you get in touch with someone, they are likely to say too bad! There are many other companies with much better products and stellar customer service. Which usually isn't even needed. At the head of that list in my opinion is Ruger.
I've put 1,000 rounds through mine in a month and I love it. Personally, I love that it has no rail, and I'm ambivalent about the lack of an optic cut. The only thing that really bothers me is the magazine situation. A $2,000 gun needs to come with more than 2 mags. Dan Wesson is also a bit disingenuous on their webpage. It takes 75 compact mags, but it requires the thinner Henning group base plate. I bought some inexpensive 75 compact mags from MecGar and they don't seat due to the thicker base plate.
@@chrisculver7254I had feed issues and they turned it around under warranty in less that 2 weeks including shipping. So I think they are doing things right. But I’m a sample size of 1.
It’s an oddball $1800 fun gun for now. Rail and optic cut would appeal to Limited Optics shooters. There’s a lot of IPSC influence in European design hence all the CZ ads where iron sign Divisions are still going strong. DWX is positioned just like the Shadow 2 to excel in USPSA. It just needs a few regional touches without paying CZ Custom pricing for the options.
Purchased after exceptional review. Pistol accurate and precision but small issue’s needed adjustments. Safety flips on after each shot, sight screws came out. Still love this pistol and a keeper. DW always backs products and I own several. Keep up great work and DW please continue the excitement created by your firearms.
Never say never Shouldn’t sell yourself short like that You never know! and also you can always keep striving if you make it a goal anything is possible!! Take care.
This vs a Stacatto C2 vs a Cajunized P01 is what I wanna see. All 3 are on the more expensive side of compact guns and is mixing the platforms better than the stand alones
I, too, would like to see a head to head comparison. One can buy a Cajunized P-01 with a Holosun and 1000 rounds of ammo for the price of the DWX Compact.
@@markburnett8699 absolutely, practice trumps equipment any day of the week. That being said with how ammo prices are going a bit more on the firearm is gonna be negligible after couple thousand rounds. Pretty wild to me the dwx doesn't come standard with a rail + optic cut
I know your lady shoots as well, but I think it's awesome to hear her engage with you in these videos. She's awesome. Y'all are awesome. Thanks for the content!!!
Actually, I was begging them for this well over a decade ago. I called CZ and asked them on multiple occasions to make a "hybrid 1911 with a 1911 trigger and a CZ grip". When they actually came out with the Dan Wesson DWX, I said to myself, "Well, dang, I guess I am gonna have to buy it now since I nagged them to make it in the first place". I have ordered the compact. After I save some more pennies, the full size is next on my bucket list.
I am anxious to find a DMX Compact with rail in stock, and have been waiting for this pistol since 2019. Thank you for the great Review Chris! I also enjoyed seeing you at GunCon and appreciate you being there to build community.
If you have Cajun gun works slick out a CZ75 SP01 for you it's probably 1200ish total. So about the same as a decent 1911 and it's phenomenal. I love it more than my 1000 1911 by far.
Just save $5.50 a day. After a year you’ll save $2k. Get this or anything else with $2k. If your bank does it, set up a automatic withdrawal to your savings once a week for $38-$40. I have this setup every Saturday for $50 (paid on Friday). I don’t do it for a gun but just in general to help save money. And if you end up needing it, well just pull it out of your savings. But “not having” the money in your main account, you don’t see it and think you don’t have it. It can help to save. Everyone and situation is different but hell even saving a dollar a day is $365/year that you can put towards a new gun or whatever.
Definitely disappointed in the lack of optics cut and full length pic rail, but you, your shooting, and your videos never disappoint 🫡 thanks for the video, Outlaw Family 🤠 you guys are awesome 🎉
@@ericraymond1274 for the price, you’re right. I’m not too mad when it’s a compact gun, they’re not exactly for long precision shots. Not saying they can’t make the shot, just not their main objective. It would just be nice to see for the price and since almost everything has an optics cut now.
As soon as they add an accessory rail I'll be tracking one of these down. Optics cut would be nice but not a requirement for a carry option. Until then it's just an interesting plinker, sort of like my P210 Carry. Looks promising though!
Just got one of these for 1500 with the intention of sending it right out for an optic cut when it arrived. Took it to the range first to test it for any issues and it shot like a dream. The stock sights were excellent for the 25-yard distance max I tested and if I can pull off 40 yards at the outdoor range, I may not get it cut at all. It’s comfier and easier to shoot than the Stacatto c2 and cs I tried imo. No rail wasn’t a big deal for me since I never really go anywhere when it’s dark and I have a bigger gun with a light that I can carry the handful of times I have to. The smooth rounded edges of the slide, frame and grip, along with how slim the magazine baseplates are make this an awesome low-profile carry for me. At 1500 dollars, I consider it a steal.
Hey Outlaw crew! I think a great comparison against this gun would be the Wilson Combat SFX9 compact. You compared this to some Wilson Combat features you get, and for that $2000 price point it has me wondering, should I get this, or the WC SFX9? Both seem like amazing carry guns if you're going to spend the money on them, and I would be very curious to hear your thoughts on which one is the better buy, if you're going to spend that much on a carry gun. Would you be up for doing a comparison video on those two pistols?
excellent review ! proud 1911 and cz owner here, really hope the dwx will make a blast in the gun world. too bad it is not , but the prodigy did .......
Shoot! I've messed around and gotten old. I can't wait 5 years anymore like I used to for the super extra enhanced model (rail & OR) to come out. I'll have to decide when these become commonly available and fish or cut then. Good review---as usual, thanks much.
I am so jealous and once the optics ready version comes out I am all on board!!! To this day I shoot my CZ Shadow 2 better then any of my other pistol so I can imagine a 1911 style trigger making it purr magic
I LOVE a 3.5 to 4lb trigger for CC, its the main reason i fell in love with the caniks. nothing like a good stock trigger to sell me on a firearm, ESPECIALLY for a carry gun. looks like one hell of a shooter
I’ve been waiting on this review and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve had my eye on this pistol, and there is a model with the pic rail. I’m sure the 1000 round review is gonna be a good one. I’d like to see how this stacks up against the Staccato CS and the Bul Armory SAS II Ultralight.
Lately I've been thinking about just selling my guns and getting into motorcycles or soup up my Miata to take it to the track. I've been having a mid life crisis the past few years, and I've just had no wind in my sails, especially since last summer. It's like the pilot life in my soul has gone out. I just feel so empty and hopeless and alone. I've been pretty into shooting matches the last few years, specifically USPSA and Steel Challenge. I did Production division two years ago with my Shadow 2, then Limited division last year with my TS2, and finally Open division this year because I scored a used Czechmate in February. I have had so many issues with my Czechmate; it's ridiculous. I'm using factory ammo with it, instead of loading my own major power factor, so that's part of it, but I wish it ran like my TS2 does. It seems like it will work fine one minute, and then it fails the next. Also, the damn mag funnel keeps coming off, like the screw keeps coming loose. If I try to tighten it too much, then it pushes the mag well back so it's not lined up right. I've been having the optic mount screws come loose pretty often too, but I just put enough Loctite on those to hold it in place finally at this last match I did. I could probably get enough for a down payment on a Suzuki GSX-R 600, but that's probably not the smartest first bike for me lol Things really fell apart last summer, and I just haven't really felt alive since then. I was so happy in the beginning of last summer because I was engaged, I was working overtime to save up for our dream, and things were just going well. Then, my dad died, my fiance ghosted me for another guy, and my job I'd had for almost five years fired me b/c my performance declined in the 3 weeks since my dad had died. My boss went from hugging me at my dad's funeral, saying they were there for me, to saying they wanted to "transition to (me) no longer working there" a few weeks later. It was even more of a shock than my fiance running off with this other guy the week before that. On the bright side, I ended up finding a new job in November, that's a much shorter commute and I generally like it better than my old job, I started lifting weights because it helps me not cry all the time, and I'm still clean from hard drugs. The last time I used was December 17, 2018, when I shot up fentanyl and overdosed and almost died. I was really close to relapsing last summer, but I knew that wouldn't help anything, and also that my ex damn sure wouldn't come back in that case. I finally took the written motorcycle test yesterday, so I can try out a motorcycle. I had a Toyota MR2 turbo about ten years ago, that I REALLY miss. I still remember its VIN. Its name was Cornelius, and it was a "Steel Mist Gray" moon roof SW20. I can still remember how the turbocharger would spool up and you could hear it because it was right behind you when you drove. Fun fact, MR2 stands for Mid engine Rear wheel drive 2 seat. I really miss how it would push me back in my seat from the acceleration. I just don't get that in my Miata that I've had for like the past 7 years. I've also been thinking about upgrading my Miata, but I think I would need a whole new engine because I ruined the crankshaft by changing the timing belt myself and not torquing the crankshaft nut enough, so it messed up the keyway. A local shop epoxied it, but I don't think there's any way it could handle forced induction. I think the transmission is still good, though. If I could get like even just 200 horsepower at the crank in that thing, then it would be quick. The car only weighs like 2,100 lb. So yeah, I'm pretty much just a mess, and I'm sorry if you read all this. I'm in pretty good shape, and I am a recovering junkie, so hopefully someone can be inspired by that. I definitely believe that if I got in shape, then anyone can. I never had enough emotional pain to need the relief from working out until this past summer. I've been especially sad today because it was exactly one year ago that my now ex fiance met my relatives, and I just still can't believe that she dropped me like she did; I thought we had such a deep connection.
That's fine but the thing is you don't have to use the rail or the optics cut. They are features that most people feel should come on most guns at this point.
I like that It looks like the DWX combines the coolest features of the 1911 and CZ 75 I guess I'm not the only one to think of that There have been a lot of guys who've wanted something like this for awhile.
I have a shadow 2 and I'm definitely digging that I love the look of it. And a fun little thing is Dan Wesson is in my area , Norwich NY not far from me .
Quality firearm. Yrs. ago in a local hardware store they were selling a DW 41.....OMG totally beautifully piece. Sorry i missed that one for say $375....WTF? I'm talking blued with absolutely gorgeous wood grips with DW in gold or something (brass) whatever yea NOT gold. What a BEAST!
Personally, I prefer no rail on my carry guns. I was planning to pick up a Wilson Combat SFT9, but now I’m having trouble deciding between that and a DWX Compact.
The whole reason it doesn't have any optical cut or pic rail is so it's as snag free as possible for concealed carry. I get that they CAN be complaints but this model is absolutely made to be this way.
@tylerwilliams6022 there are many configurations of this gun. barrell lengths are available from i believe 3.5 to a 5 inch . sft9 is short for single frame 9mm. if you search youtube for wilson combat or the gun guys they discuss it in depth. there are also a video of one of the frames being milled from the beginning
Almost bought its big brother yesterday. $1,998 for the full size with the red grips. Was so close. Then I realized I have an IMI Jericho that is super smooth and accurate. Had to pass.
Just curious how this might stack up against a slightly cheaper option, the Kimber KDS9c? I know it’s Kimber, but from what I have seen, it looks like a viable option for around $1200-$1400.
Thanks Chris. Really enjoying your work. My specific interest is in choosing a single handgun for cc and hd and, well, everything. My budget and local legislation means I can only have one and I am stuck with it. I am thinking 365X or G48/19 or PX4 (my favourite) or maybe a CZ? I would even consider a mid size revolver like a 686 or a GP100 ( one gun may mean limited experience and practice so maybe simple is best). All obviously solid candidates but keen to hear your views on “if I could only have one”.
I know he features some expensive guns but my favorite thing about Chris is he's not a gun snob. If it's cheap and good, it gets his seal of approval
Lol I agree even tho he calls himself "a bit of a gun snob" from time to time lol
That’s why they call him the “Honest” Outlaw. 🤙🐐💯❤️
well lets see one of his favored carry is the cz p07 and right now its just over 400$. and its pond for pound one of the best.

Always on target except when it's not.
I’d love to see a high end carry gun battle. DWX vs Wilson Combat SFX9 vs Staccato CS or C2.
Keep up the awesome reviews.
Need to add in the alpha foxtrot s15 to thay equation
In this type of market, my pick is either the DWX Compact or Wilson Combat SFX9.
Kimber also just unveiled a 4 inch barreled 15 round 9mm 1911 with no grip safety.
I however will have nothing to do with Kimber. It's one of the manufacturers I avoid like the plague.
@@tylerwilliams6022 Just curious why that is about Kimber ?

Awesome 👏 now its time to make a video comparing new compact 2011-s: This DWX, Staccato C2, WC SFX9 and Springfield Prodigy. ✌️

@@chrisculver7254I had feed issues and they turned it around under warranty in less that 2 weeks including shipping. So I think they are doing things right. But I’m a sample size of 1.
What price were you able to find those CZ75 compact mags?
It’s an oddball $1800 fun gun for now. Rail and optic cut would appeal to Limited Optics shooters. There’s a lot of IPSC influence in European design hence all the CZ ads where iron sign Divisions are still going strong. DWX is positioned just like the Shadow 2 to excel in USPSA. It just needs a few regional touches without paying CZ Custom pricing for the options.
So you don't like to be able to see what you're shooting at and prefer worse aiming methods... Interesting
We got 4 of these into the shop and I was able to hold one and I am officially in love
Chris, you and your miss are so sweet together! I love watching your videos.
This is an excellent alternative to the Wilson Combat SFX series. Two of my favorite guns are 1911s and CZ-75s, so I'm pretty positive from the start.
Unless the grip is radically nicer I miss the point versus Wilson Combat 2011’s. Cheaper?
Purchased after exceptional review. Pistol accurate and precision but small issue’s needed adjustments. Safety flips on after each shot, sight screws came out. Still love this pistol and a keeper.

“Super easy, barely an inconvenience.”

Great content as always! I'd like to see a review of the Bul Armory SAS Tac II 4.25 if you can find one.
The marriage between CZ's 75 and Dan Wesson/Colt's 1911 was a marriage made in heaven. A relationship no one saw coming a decade ago.
Actually, I was begging them for this well over a decade ago. I called CZ and asked them on multiple occasions to make a "hybrid 1911 with a 1911 trigger and a CZ grip".

I am anxious to find a DMX Compact with rail in stock, and have been waiting for this pistol since 2019. Thank you for the great Review Chris! I also enjoyed seeing you at GunCon and appreciate you being there to build community.
Without a comment on the pistol, I appreciate your humor on camera. The mag insertion comments made with your wife filming just make me smile.
chrisear is one of my favorite guntubers. always straight about products no bias.
I have two Dan Wesson Valors, one in the Duty treat finish, the other with the color case hardening. They are both amazing shooters.
I dont know which one to get??
You: ill take two!
Great choice sir! 😂
Do a comparison with the C2 or the P. Would be a great comparison.
Love how Mrs Outlaw rips off a full mag and then shows off her nails!!! 😀
I look forward to the thousand round review. Not that I'd spend $2000 on a pistol but you're definitely turning me around to CZ( normally a 1911 guy)
If you have Cajun gun works slick out a CZ75 SP01 for you it's probably 1200ish total. So about the same as a decent 1911 and it's phenomenal. I love it more than my 1000 1911 by far.
Its not a hard transition OP. The ergo’s on CZ’s fall into your hand easily. 👍
Just save $5.50 a day.
After a year you’ll save $2k.
Get this or anything else with $2k.

The serialized part is part of a modular system allowing you to swap grips just like a p320. One thing everyone is leaving out.
Staccato C2 vs DWX Compact
Great review thanks for your honest as always input!
Cheers,

I actually like it without the rail. It just looks cleaner.
Yeah but it's dumb spending this much on something without a rail. In my opinion anyways, it's the same reason I don't like HKs.
@@Slay_No_Moreall commercial h&ks have rails that's not the real reason why you don't like h&ks dude
@@nikobellic3526 cool, anything else?
@@Slay_No_Morewhat? Majority of the H&Ks have rails bro lol
Yeah, it looks awesome. If I have the choice though, I'll still probably buy one with the rail.
It would be fun to see a comparison between the DWX Compact and the best "budget friendly" (under $750) competitors.
Beretta 92x springs to mind. As well as the CZ P01
Versus with the C2 would certainly be interesting!
I LOVE a 3.5 to 4lb trigger for CC, its the main reason i fell in love with the caniks. nothing like a good stock trigger to sell me on a firearm, ESPECIALLY for a carry gun. looks like one hell of a shooter

I got to play with the full size and loved it.
Aside from being a pic rail guy, this looks perfect.
I would love to see a DWX vs staccato C2 or CS since at that price point they are direct competitors
Bone red trgger is awesome

I was so happy in the beginning of last summer because I was engaged, I was working overtime to save up for our dream, and things were just going well. Then, my dad died, my fiance ghosted me for another guy, and my job I'd had for almost five years fired me b/c my performance declined in the 3 weeks since my dad had died. My boss went from hugging me at my dad's funeral, saying they were there for me, to saying they wanted to "transition to (me) no longer working there" a few weeks later. It was even more of a shock than my fiance running off with this other guy the week before that.
On the bright side, I ended up finding a new job in November, that's a much shorter commute and I generally like it better than my old job, I started lifting weights because it helps me not cry all the time, and I'm still clean from hard drugs. The last time I used was December 17, 2018, when I shot up fentanyl and overdosed and almost died. I was really close to relapsing last summer, but I knew that wouldn't help anything, and also that my ex damn sure wouldn't come back in that case.
I finally took the written motorcycle test yesterday, so I can try out a motorcycle. I had a Toyota MR2 turbo about ten years ago, that I REALLY miss. I still remember its VIN. Its name was Cornelius, and it was a "Steel Mist Gray" moon roof SW20. I can still remember how the turbocharger would spool up and you could hear it because it was right behind you when you drove. Fun fact, MR2 stands for Mid engine Rear wheel drive 2 seat. I really miss how it would push me back in my seat from the acceleration. I just don't get that in my Miata that I've had for like the past 7 years. I've also been thinking about upgrading my Miata, but I think I would need a whole new engine because I ruined the crankshaft by changing the timing belt myself and not torquing the crankshaft nut enough, so it messed up the keyway. A local shop epoxied it, but I don't think there's any way it could handle forced induction. I think the transmission is still good, though. If I could get like even just 200 horsepower at the crank in that thing, then it would be quick. The car only weighs like 2,100 lb.
So yeah, I'm pretty much just a mess, and I'm sorry if you read all this. I'm in pretty good shape, and I am a recovering junkie, so hopefully someone can be inspired by that. I definitely believe that if I got in shape, then anyone can. I never had enough emotional pain to need the relief from working out until this past summer. I've been especially sad today because it was exactly one year ago that my now ex fiance met my relatives, and I just still can't believe that she dropped me like she did; I thought we had such a deep connection.
I am one of those Who prefer a gun without a rail and without a red dot cut
Eww
That's fine but the thing is you don't have to use the rail or the optics cut. They are features that most people feel should come on most guns at this point.
Same. Rather not have them even on the gun.
Same . I don’t need them either . It’s beautiful as is .
I kinda want a red dot but no light.
So, just when I thought I had all the handguns I wanted, you introduce me to the DWX.
It’s good to see DW still around, would be great if they could make some new revolvers.
seems like a natural comparison warranted for C2 and P, Bul SAS, platypus.. and your higher end 2011s
Hey Outlaw! Just letting you know I visited my gun shop yesterday and now they have the compact optics ready with pic rail fyi
I like that
It looks like the DWX combines the coolest features of the 1911 and CZ 75
I guess I'm not the only one to think of that
There have been a lot of guys who've wanted something like this for awhile.
I want this in my collection
I have a shadow 2 and I'm definitely digging that I love the look of it. And a fun little thing is Dan Wesson is in my area , Norwich NY not far from me .
A beautiful gun. I love that red trigger
Curious how you'd compare this to a BUL Armory SAS II Tac at $1760 for quality/features to value ratio.
Just bought mine today Outlaw! Getting a dot milled on it immediately!
With the grip shape etc. It reminds me of a Wilson Combat EDC X9
Same thought
Don't mess with the goodness, that is a beautifull thing.
Chris, I want to see you do a review of the stealth arms platypus! 100% customizable 2011 for under $2,000.
Nice Pitch Meeting reference!
Much like 1911s I like it with no light rail
Awesome review as always. I've been waiting years for this, I don't mind waiting a little bit longer for optics and a rail.
Quality firearm. Yrs. ago in a local hardware store they were selling a DW 41.....OMG totally beautifully piece. Sorry i missed that one for say $375....WTF? I'm talking blued with absolutely gorgeous wood grips with DW in gold or something (brass) whatever yea NOT gold. What a BEAST!
Her " HELP ME " was the highlight of the video !
And then there's the guns and you thing . LOL
Another good one guys !
Well done as always, sir.
Would love to get your take on the DWX Compact vs. the Wilson Combat SFX9 4 inch.
Please do a versus of DWX Compact vs. CZ P01 (or PCR) vs Staccato C2 (or CS). Please and Thank You Very Much.
You gotta do DWXc vs. CZ S2 carry now that it's out
I'd like to see a VS between the DWXC, the C2, and the SFX9.
Personally, I prefer no rail on my carry guns. I was planning to pick up a Wilson Combat SFT9, but now I’m having trouble deciding between that and a DWX Compact.
The whole reason it doesn't have any optical cut or pic rail is so it's as snag free as possible for concealed carry. I get that they CAN be complaints but this model is absolutely made to be this way.
Which one is the SFT9?
Is it the one with 4.25 inch barrel/slide with conventional bushing internal extractor and non tri top slide?
@tylerwilliams6022 there are many configurations of this gun. barrell lengths are available from i believe 3.5 to a 5 inch . sft9 is short for single frame 9mm. if you search youtube for wilson combat or the gun guys they discuss it in depth. there are also a video of one of the frames being milled from the beginning
@@stevejohnson2998 No, SFT9 is exactly as I said. A commander length slide on the double stack 9mm frame.
The name for the regular line is SFX9
Almost bought its big brother yesterday. $1,998 for the full size with the red grips. Was so close. Then I realized I have an IMI Jericho that is super smooth and accurate. Had to pass.
This looks like a outstanding carry gun. You dont need a light or a red dot to go to lunch or stop at the atm.
Dream gun for me i love it.
I like it ok, though its way out of my range, or particular interest...still waiting for the 1k FPC! Thanks guys, I love most everything y'all do!
this vs staccato carry vs wilson combat carry vs bul armory carry vs all the other small double stacks 1911
You and Ms Honest can’t shoot at me the nails are purty great gun thanks for sharing enjoyed the video
Just curious how this might stack up against a slightly cheaper option, the Kimber KDS9c? I know it’s Kimber, but from what I have seen, it looks like a viable option for around $1200-$1400.
Brilliant!!!! I Need One!!!!
Commitment to Excellence!!!!!
CZ/Dan Wesson never disappoints
What a beautiful gun. Thanks for the video
love your reviews Outlaw, thanks and keep up the great work
I like the CZ grip a hundred times better than a 2011 grip personally.
I just really want the full size but the compact boi aint too bad either. Cant wait to see all the directions they take this gun
Hell yeah love the edits and the videos keep up that 2A support!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Thanks Chris. Really enjoying your work. My specific interest is in choosing a single handgun for cc and hd and, well, everything. My budget and local legislation means I can only have one and I am stuck with it. I am thinking 365X or G48/19 or PX4 (my favourite) or maybe a CZ? I would even consider a mid size revolver like a 686 or a GP100 ( one gun may mean limited experience and practice so maybe simple is best). All obviously solid candidates but keen to hear your views on “if I could only have one”.
