Interesting new Dan Wesson

[Coal Dragger]

Not a CZ and not a 1911.... a hybrid of both.

WOW,was never a real DW fan but this looks pretty bad-ass ! I am both a fan of 1911s & CZs,,so yea,,looks interesting for sure !

If it runs it will kind of answer the same question as the Wilson EDC-X9 and the various 9mm STI 2011 pistols at a lower cost with readily available magazines.

Interesting indeed.

I would like to shoot one.

I'm not sure what box this ticks for me. I'd rather it be a steel framed P-09 that was optics ready, with improved controls. The hammer fired P-series have proven themselves to be incredibly accurate, and this offering should capitalize on that. Between the DWX and the CZ Custom AO1 pistols, they're both very close to my ideal handgun. Nice that they share the same mags.

Initial impression is that I prefer the DWX for MSRP and features. I am curious how easy they will be for the end-user to work on. Will wait for more information.

They should have made it work for the CZ 75 magazines that the world had so many of at half the price.

The P10 mags hold more ammo, I’ll take those.

Because they are longer. You can get 75 mags that hold 19 as well. Or even 23.

I like this gun, is it a 2011? basically seems to be. Im impressed with my first DW 1911 in the Valor variety. Whats the street price?

It's not a 2011 because it use CZ magazines. Finally CZ is making a frame with the thumb safety in the correct location. The CZ75 and its family including the Shadow competition line, have the safety too far forward and too high for us 1911 shooters. I could never surely manipulate the CZ thumb safety on and off while maintaining a firing grip.

MSRP is $1800, street price will be a little less.
