Dan Wesson DWX Compact Optic-Ready 9mm – DLC Slide, Match-Grade 4 in. Barrel, 15+1
The DWX Compact brings together CZ-75 ergonomics and a 1911 single-action trigger in a carry-sized platform that is optic-ready right out of the box. Forged steel, no MIM parts, and a DLC-coated slide give this early-run pistol a premium build that appeals to shooters and collectors alike.

Built on an aluminum-alloy frame, the DWX Compact weighs less than its full-size counterpart while retaining a forged carbon-steel slide finished in durable black DLC. The slide’s flat-top serrations reduce glare, and the optic-ready cut lets you mount today’s popular micro red dots without gunsmithing.
A match-grade, 4-inch stainless barrel sits in a bushing-less system for consistent lock-up and easy maintenance. The square-spur hammer, flat K-style trigger, and ambidextrous thumb safeties deliver a crisp single-action pull and secure handling for both right- and left-handed shooters.
Henning aluminum grip panels with Ned Christiansen’s “Frag” texture give a positive, non-abrasive grasp, while an accessory rail supports lights or lasers. Bright tritium front sight with a yellow ring pairs with a fixed Battlehook rear for a clear day-to-night sight picture even if you choose not to add an optic.
This pistol comes from the inaugural DWX Compact production run (serial ≤ 3000), adding collectability to its practical performance. With a 15+1 capacity and no MIM components, it offers a blend of reliability, capacity, and craftsmanship seldom found in a compact package.
