Here we’ll discuss a new pistol that does not seem to exist in the wild yet, revealed for SHOT 2020, and we all know about the COVID/election/TP panic and how it has affected the industry. Its a hybrid of a 1911, with the trigger being K-style 1911, the top half being linkless ala Sig, P09, and P10, and the mag being double-stack, single-feed. Edgy-looking Commander type hammer. There is no bushing, and it uses a flush target crown. There is a manual safety, but no grip safety, and it has a hump in the backstrap. Beavertail for those of you with larger hands. There are two models, Fullsize, and Compact. There’s plenty of slide to grab and there will be forward serrations. Serrated top and an external extractor, of course. There are threads on PF, the Hide and Enos, but I’d rather follow it here.

It has some compatibility with existing stuff, such as 1911 trigger components and CZ grips.

The Fullsize has a 19+1 capacity and a 5” barrel. It has a light rail and a flat front trigger guard. The grips, baseplate, and trigger are anodized Crackwhore Red (tm). Plenty of aggressive checkering. It is claimed to be targeted at USPSA Limited, but the rail could be used for mounting an Open style optic, and I suspect the barrel would be easily swapped for a threaded model with a big ass comp. It is chambered in .40, in addition to 9mm. It weighs 43oz. Sights are fiber optic up front. https://danwessonfirearms.com/product/dwx/ https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102242604

The Compact has an aluminum frame, a 15+1 capacity, and a 4” barrel. It weighs 28.5oz, claimed. There is a little less red blingy bullshit, since the grips are black, as is the mag baseplate. The checkering is square, frag pattern, and it is present both front and back. The sights are a combat style with a ledge in front of the rear and a U notch; its a Henning Group Battlehook. Tritium in the front, with a high-vis photoluminescent yellow ring, much like Triji HD or Ameriglo Agents. Its available with a rail and has a rounded trigger guard. The Compact might be good for IDPA, perhaps. https://danwessonfirearms.com/product/dwx-compact/

Interesting, some of the videos hid a link to ads when I copy-pasta’d, even when there was no ad loaded. Eff you, youtube, for that, you sneaky bastards. I’ve attempted to correct this, but check Full30 instead or do a search if the links are messed up.
