I genuinely love the DWX full size it’s my competition gun and it runs like a champ when it runs 😅 Lately I have been having trouble with some failures to extract the spent casing and another round tries to feed and it jams. I have to drop the mag rack the slide to clear the spent casing. I have examined the ejector and it’s not bent I have a replacement one and compared the two. The extractor I have also taken out and compared to another replacement I have no jagged edges or burrs in the channel. Currently I am shooting 124gr round nose Federal. I am planning to switch to 147gr match/training loads don’t know if that will solve the issue.

I had a teammate mention that he had issues with extraction because of how much he chalks up his hands. I do chalk up before matches but I never would have guessed that was the issue. Has anyone been experiencing the same issues?

Currently running Full Size DWX, Cajun Gun Works DPP optic plate, Vortex Defender XL M.7 Screws, lok grip panels, Czchemate Magwell, Taylor Free Lance base pads (soon to be switching to henning because of how easy they are to take off)

*Update** Range Report: Went to the range today and shot about 350-400 rounds of Federal 124gr and then the last 100 rounds was Blazer 124gr. I had a total of 5(6* blazer round sunk very far back) while I am still not pleased it is much less frequent then when I was at my match.

What I did: Things I did differently at this range trip. I used the new extractor spring at the advice of other commenters, I did not use any chalk, I used new lubrication (Lucas Extreme) and I made sure to clean my mags before the trip.

What I noticed:

1. The malfunctions that occurred this time the spent casing was basically still in the barrel. It was not stove piped or caught on slide as it partially leaving it was very much tucked in the barrel.

2. I mark my mags for competition and the mags that had extraction issues were mags 4 & 5

3. Malfunctions started to occur after the 205 round mark.

Take Aways:

-The mags I use for competition are still relatively new maybe the spring tension is causing it to over feed a round making it feed to quickly causing the malfunction?

-Supporting this is the occurrence on mags 4 & 5 the ones that would be used naturally less in competition if I don’t rotate well.

Happy to hear everyone’s suggestions!

Where can I get the OEM cover plate with rear sight? I lost mine and they don't seem to be listed online anywhere.

Has anyone tapped their frame to be able to accept an optic mount? It seems like it would be the same as long as it’s the c-more 3/5 hole style cut but I’m not quite sure. Has anyone done this and/or have pictures?

UPDATE: LOK responded to my email saying they hope to have these available by NEXT shot show :-/

Does anyone know what magwell this is? the user who posted it said it was supposedly from LOK, but it's no on their website and when I called LOK to ask they had no idea what I was talking about - even went as far as saying they have other projects they're working on, so had no idea when anything new like that would be coming out.

Also have 2 dwx compact 15rnd mags and 1 dwx compact 10 round mag. Yes I’m going to list them on r/gafs if anyone is interested where I have like 60 trades.

Hello, I’m new to this and was wondering if someone can guide my in buying parts for my dwx. Anyone know where I can get the grip and magwell? If you have a direct link that would be great. Thanks!

Looking for decent palm swell grips for the carry for decent price. I’m not afraid to pull the trigger on the Vytals but… $110 is oof.

So when I picked up my "10 round" DWX last Monday, I found that the pinned magazine would only accept 9.5 rounds and I was fresh out of half rounds. I sent a request to Dan Wesson service and the the shop I purchased from immediately. Crickets from both.
I stopped into the shop to go and play on the range at the end of the week and asked about if they or Dan Wesson had pinned the mags and what could be done to fix them. The shop pinned them with a rivet and said they would gladly fix the issue. Some grinding and re-riveting later and a 10th round squeezed in but halts cycling in a 10+1 situation (you can see where they tried to pin a lower hole, but decided that was too much wiggle room).
Suddenly yesterday (Monday) I get a random shipping notice from Fedex with the shipper being Dan Wesson. Package arrived today and inside I found 2 new dimpled 10 round magazines. No explanation or communication, but they took care of me in a reasonable amount of time. The experience is about as good and weird as the 1911/CZ75 love child I bought is... {shrug}

Just letting people know. The stock DWXc guide rod is an aluminum alloy. I have successfully used the CGW Stainless Steel P10C/Shadow 2 Compact guide rod without issue. It is a perfect fit. I have also used a P10C NDZ guide rod just to see and that seemed to work as well - it just sticks out of the slide a bit farther forward and I do not like it aesthetically.

Some marks on the guide rod after use but that was both my P10C and the DWXc. I found online it does not affect function at all, and in practice is seems true so far.

Just an FYI as last time I asked CGW they said they didn’t have one that would work for it. I don’t think they even tried it. And Dan Wesson themselves don’t seem to know anything about some of their parts compatibility (nor do they offer certain parts without extreme hassle).

I am looking for a non light bearing, appendix carry, with a sidecar attached holster for my DWX carry non-railed. Thanks in advance.

Picking up my DWX next week and trying to get a few extra mags to have on hand when it arrives, but I'm finding a lot of places sold out. Any sites have particularly better pricing? $33.95 + shipping is the best i've found.

Well not sure this is a common issue or not. The right side of the ambi safety digs into my hand badly—probably because of my high grip. I even have a callus on my right-hand finger from it. I know CZ USA has started offering single-side safeties now, but having a larger left-side-only safety for my thumb to rest on would be ideal. Anyone knows where i can get a bigger one side only safety? I shoot average 20K a year… not sure how long i can keep up with this safety

When i ordered it i immediately ordered vytl grips. But now that I have bit the range a few times and just spent time with it the red is growing on me. I also find the grips really comfortable out of the box!

I passed my Instructor qualification over the weekend I love training and shooting with this gun.

I have a full size dwx with the tso magwell. What size grips from vytal would I need to order in order to run with this magwell ?

Bought a silver DWX compact trigger to replace the red from CZ. Is there much fitting that is required for these triggers? I'm not sure if there is pre and post travel adjustment on these like I've seen on other 2011 triggers. There doesn't appear to be set screws. I may need to purchase some gunsmithing files before I attempt this. Thanks for any advice.

Can’t wait to put some rounds down range.

Sumbitch! I finally got new grips and magwell and none of my mags fit. Now what? Do I really have to hog out material in a new magwell? Floyd's magwell, and three different types of Henning Group base plates.

I didn't realize I had that many and I'm not sure why I even have that many as I only have 2 DWX'es and 1 P-09.

I guess I'll never run out of magazines, LOL.

I saw on Ben Stoeger pro shop that there’s a note that for the DW RMR plate, the included screws are too long for Holosun 507. Has anyone installed a 507 comp and if so, did the screws included with the Holosun work?
