DAN WESSON DWX COMPACT

[@mikerosado1199]

I had the same issue with the safety. It would engage after 1 or two shots. Riding the safety was not comfortable and something I should have to do on a gun of this caliber. I sent it back to Cz. They replaced the entire gun for me and I have not had the issue since. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite pistols.

If it matters, I had an MPA DS9. Exact same issue. It's why most heavy 1911/2011 users train with 'order of arms' that includes riding the safety down, and staying on it until reengaging.

[@barrygoodwin566]

A lot of us who run 1911s and 2011s like to “ride” the safety.

[@dalejacques3142]

were you able to get the safety issue fixed?

[@ArmsLovers]

I have DWX full-size for sport, it is lovely gun. However I do not understand the purpose of this compact model...

[@MrBert1]

I just picked one up also. I have the same issue with the safety. I just sent it back in for a warranty repair.

[@SMOKINGGUN6264]

Sorry to hear that

[@Rothbardy]

Let us know what they say and how it performs afterwards

[@MrBert1]

Well it’s been a while. It took about 4 weeks to come back from CZ for the warranty work. Happy to report, at over 170 rounds not a single malfunction. According to the warranty repair sheet here was their fix: Adjusted safety and safety plunger for better fit/function. Functions checked and test fired good with CCI Blazer 9mm 115gr FMJ.

Try wrapping or resting your right thumb just below lower joint of the left thumb area (keeping knuckle more flat, not bent upward). Not criticizing your hold but you are resting your right thumb in a position that is resulting in the first knuckle pointing/bending upward. Consequently, pressing up against the safety. Hope that helps.

I’m having significant Failure to Extract issues with mine after about 1K rounds. At least one every 2 mags. Reached out to CZ and waiting to hear.

[@gro24x7]

I’m interested please keep us posted

[@Davinoadam]

@@gro24x7 I shipped it back to CZ. They replaced the extractor spring and sent it back 4 weeks later. I sold it without testing to see if it was fixed.

[@davidcrouse8886]

You like the cz shadow 2 compact or the dan Wesson compact better? I got the shadow 2 from West Des Moines scheels also!

[@ArmsLovers]

If you have to pick the compact model, then out of two the shadow 2 compact makes more sense.

[@skycop3855]

I had same issue. Sent in for warranty repair as Safety kept engaging. Received pistol back with note saying I changed springs and they replaced as courtesy but only this time .I had the gun 2 days changed nothing and before I had it sent back in. Came back does the same thing. Riding safety not an option. Born poor and ugly all I have is ethics. Total insult. Safe Queen.

[@onegudman7]

Why is riding the safety with your thumb not an option?

[@kimjensen8287]

great video. you should have scheels sponsor you.

[@SMOKINGGUN6264]

I wish!

[@jaycollin6803]

Any luck getting the safety adjusted? This feels like a deal breaker for such a pricey piece.

[@MG77740]

After the 100th review of the missing optics cut its enough already.

[@Rothbardy]

Dan Wesson needs to hear it. I’m waiting on an optics cut compact

[@love4gtsandguns]

Need a rail also. They dropped the ball on that option / feature.

[@3Pillers]

👍

[@NyfLyf73]

If that were my $2000 pistol I would be sending it back. You mentioned being able to rack the slide on the rear sight should your left hand be inoperable. Then you demonstrated you CANNOT shoot one handed without the safety engaging......so what if your left hand is inoperable??? No way this is acceptable. You should not be required to shoot two-handed on a pistol of any price.... especially a $2000 one.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

No optic cut, no auto forward feature & the K trigger "floats" in its housing; no thanks
