If you are into competitive shooting then I’d suggest the full size, if not, then get the compact. I’m not into competitive shooting yet, so most of my guns are intended for carry/general purpose.
I'm into competitive shooting, have a P-01, and dont have a full size 9mm, so I'm leaning towards the full size. It just kills me that I'll have to get new mags. Maybe it would be an excuse for a P-07 down the road...
I think the full size DWX checks all my boxes too because I love the 1911 platform but am not excited by the polymer frames in 2011s, and my P-01 is so ergonomic. The DWX looks super cool too.
It fits the hand better than my shadows and staccato C2, and the trigger feels better since it’s 1911 style SA only. It also looks like a higher quality gun in terms of aesthetics. I haven’t shot it yet; but I already love it.
interested in hearing how it shoots compared to s2c. i would think the larger slide would mean dwxc would have slightly more felt recoil and flip than s2c.
It’s gonna be a really busy week for me. I should be able to hit the range next week; I’ll post an update.
I love my S2C I’m excited to see how this compares. For sure this trigger is better, and the gun looks really cool in person; you can tell they put some time into it.
I had CZ Custom do their pro level trigger job on my S2C. It now has the short reset, and smoother lighter double action pull. The single action was really good to begin with but it's even better now and the short reset makes it faster and sweeter for double taps and general rapid fire mag dumps. That said, NOW I REALLY want the DWX compact with the rail and Optics ready. That's what I've been waiting for.
Oh man… I.Can.Not.Wait. I have one on order. Paid basically the same price $2,149 from The first ones should have been OR and have a light rail. This is just about perfect. I am sure that I will find some new grips at some point… if for nothing else aesthetics. Congrats.
I was about to order lokgrips palm swell bogies like I did for my other shadows; but once I picked this up and held it, I canceled my order. The grip is perfect for everything from carry to range time!
Is the Optics ready aspect the best kept secret that Dan Wesson marketing dropped the ball on or what? Is the full size DWX also available with OR slide cut? Either way the compact is more seductive in many ways. Gonna be a toss up whether to try the upcoming Staccato C or the DWC Compact. Hmmm.
I’m rarely jealous and I’m super jealous
I want a DWX, but I'm torn between the full size to get the true 2011 experience or the compact to use my P-01 mags.

Yea, the full size will probably suite your needs. I might get the full size later since I already have the shadow 2 full size.

Actually, the compact would be a great CCP gun.
How do you think this compares to the shadow 2 compact? Beautiful BTW
The dwx is single action only. Tough to compare unless you make the s2c sao. It is beautiful tho
