Dan Wesson DWX Optics Ready Full-Size 9mm Pistol – DLC Finish, Match Barrel, 22+1 Capacity
The Dan Wesson DWX combines the crisp 1911 single-action trigger group with CZ-75 ergonomics and a double-stack magazine, delivering a 22+1-round, all-steel 9mm that balances competition speed with defensive reliability. Its matte black DLC finish registers over 3,000 Vickers hardness, while the bushing-less match barrel and red-anodized Henning grips add both performance and style. First announced in 2019 and finally shipping in 2023, this optics-ready full-size model arrives with five extended magazines and factory mounting hardware.

The DWX pairs a match-grade, bushing-less 5-inch barrel with a single-action-only, hammer-fired system for repeatable accuracy and a short, clean break. A flat-faced, red-anodized skeletonized trigger promotes consistent finger placement and quicker reset.
Ambidextrous thumb safeties, front and rear angled cocking serrations, and an external extractor contribute to intuitive manipulation and reliable cycling. A serrated square-notch HAJO rear sight teams with a green fiber-optic front for a bright, adjustable sight picture, and the factory plate lets you mount a slide-mounted optic without gunsmithing.
The full-steel frame is cut with an accessory rail and wears aggressively textured, red anodized aluminum grips for a secure purchase. Compatibility with CZ P-09/P-10 magazines and CZ-75 grip panels offers ample aftermarket support.
At the heart of the pistol, the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) treatment covers both slide and frame, resisting wear far beyond standard bluing and helping the gun shrug off holster use and adverse weather.
