Built by Dan Wesson under CZ USA, the DWX Compact combines the classic 1911 trigger and ergonomics with the modern features and high capacity of the CZ platform. This model features a 5-inch barrel, factory optic-ready slide, accessory rail, and lightweight aluminum grips, while offering a 15-round magazine capacity. The compact frame makes it significantly easier to carry and handle than the full-size DWX, making it an excellent choice for competitive shooters who want a smaller footprint without sacrificing performance. Whether you compete in USPSA, IDPA, or simply want a premium 9mm pistol for range use and everyday carry, the Dan Wesson DWX Compact offers the perfect balance of size, capacity, and modern features.

Dan Wesson has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest 1911-style pistols available. The DWX Compact takes the successful DWX platform and refines it into a more compact configuration while retaining the exceptional trigger, low bore axis, and shootability that have made the series popular among competitive shooters.

Optic Ready Slide for Modern Competition

The DWX Compact comes equipped with a factory optic-ready slide, allowing shooters to easily mount a wide variety of red dot sights. This modern feature provides faster target acquisition and improved accuracy during rapid-fire stages. The optic cut is designed to accommodate popular micro red dots while maintaining a low profile for better co-witnessing with backup iron sights when needed. For competitive shooters, the optic-ready design offers a significant advantage in speed and precision on the range.

Compact Frame with 15-Round Capacity

The DWX Compact features a shorter grip frame compared to the full-size DWX, making it significantly more concealable and easier to handle for shooters with smaller hands. Despite its compact size, this model still offers a generous 15-round magazine capacity, providing a strong balance between firepower and concealability. The 15-round magazines are designed for reliable feeding and smooth operation, giving competitive shooters an advantage during stages while keeping the overall footprint smaller than higher-capacity versions.

Lightweight Aluminum Grips

This model is equipped with aluminum grips that help reduce overall weight while providing a secure and consistent texture for excellent control. The aluminum grips offer a rigid, competition-oriented feel that enhances handling during rapid fire. Their lightweight construction makes the DWX Compact more comfortable to carry for extended periods compared to models with heavier grips, while still maintaining the premium feel expected from a Dan Wesson pistol.

Accessory Rail and 5-Inch Barrel

The DWX Compact includes an accessory rail on the dust cover, allowing users to mount weapon lights or other accessories. The 5-inch barrel provides excellent velocity and accuracy from the 9mm cartridge while keeping the pistol compact enough for practical carry and competition use. This barrel length delivers a great balance of performance and maneuverability.

Hybrid 1911 and CZ Ergonomics

The Dan Wesson DWX Compact combines the crisp single-action trigger and grip angle of a traditional 1911 with the superior ergonomics and low bore axis of the CZ Shadow platform. This hybrid design results in a pistol that feels natural in the hand while offering exceptional shootability and reduced muzzle flip. The result is a highly capable compact 9mm pistol that allows for fast, accurate follow-up shots with minimal effort.
