This is interesting: https://danwessonfirearms.com/product/dwx/

It started as an experiment — a grand melding of Dan Wesson and CZ pistols. Borrowing the crisp single action fire control group of a DW 1911 and combining it with the ergonomics and capacity of a CZ, the resulting pistol emerged as something great.

Neat. But not sure what this has that a TSO doesnt’t.
 
Keith of CZ/Dan Wesson posted this. A compact version is also being released. Seems like a DW version of the Wilson EDC-X9 which now also comes in a full-size variant.

Good morning DW people. I have held off commenting until the compact was introduced and I know you have lots of questions.

Please be sure to visit our website, as many of your questions can be answered there.

We are very excited to bring you the DWX product line, this is just the beginning. It has been two years in the making and we could not get it out soon enough.

We plan to start making deliveries first quarter on 9mm's.

Some things that are not listed that should be noted. As per all Dan Wesson's' there are no MIM parts in these guns. Any parts that were shared with CZ were upgraded, with exception to springs, pins and rear sights and magazines.

The Compact ships with a single sided safety however we do have ambi's available and the safeties are interchangeable between the full size and compact, just like single stack 1911. The full size ships with an ambi and single sided safeties available.

The mag release is specific to the gun however, both are ambidextrous.

The compact grip is the same size as a compact CZ-75 however, we designed the gun to use full size 75 magazines. This makes the gun just a little larger than the ECO with the ability to hold 15 rounds with a flush magazine.

If you live in a less than free state, like myself, 10 round versions will become available.

Triggers are similar to a 2011 trigger however are specific to the model, we will have many additional colors, lengths and shapes available to suit your needs.

Holsters should also be available at time of release.

Forgive me on the mistype. I've got a lot going on here and just tried to reach out when I could. The compact comes with flush compact mags but can use any 75 mag.

The full size uses the PO9 magazines for added capacity.

Triggers can be changed to suit your taste.

Yeah that compact is where it's at. But then again, so is a SP01.........so what am I missing that an extra grand buys?
 
The trigger is completely different - 1911 straight-pull style vs a pivoting DA/SA style.
 
Are none of the CZ pistols available with single action triggers now? I once had my eye on a shadow or phantom or whatever with a SA trigger, thought it was too expensive at the time.

Tactical sport is SA, its fairly easy to make a 75B into SA.

I have 2 75's that are from factory SA. They are available, or at least they were. Makes a great cadet kit 22 host!

Cool, thanks. Makes me wonder where this new pistol fits. Dan Wesson fit and finish and improved or no mim parts seem to be a plus. I’ll have to check it out side by side to a 1911 and a 75

The CZ75B SA has been discontinued. The Shadow 2, CZ 75 TS Czechmate still come in SAO+ the Tactical Sport Orange which was already mentioned.

Definitely compare to the Tactical Sports Orange, rather than the 75.
 
That’s actually pretty sexy! But then again I think Glocks have an elegant beauty of their own......
 
Also forgot to mention people like CGW can convert any 75B to SAO.

I just came to post about this and how dang CZ/Dan Wesson is conspiring again to get too much of my money. At least I am in good company.
