r/DWX

Got a great deal on this secondhand thing a few months ago and couldn’t pass it up. Shot it a bit and loved it. From there i decided to send it down to the boys at CGW. They did a phenomenal job with my Shadow2, so it was inevitable that i would send the DWX to get “Cajunized”.

I have two different colors of magwells [Armorycraft] depending on what mood i’m in 😂

Grips are the G10 “short” Lok and then a “short” Browneworks TS2 Cocobolo set and then a Shadow2 full length Cocobolo set. Mark did an amazing job with the grips and can’t recommend him enough if you’re looking for some custom grips.

The job CGW did on the DWX is nothing short of perfection. They got it back to me in short order and again, i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them on any CZ/DW project. the trigger weights in at 2#6oz and is on par with the Infinity or Atlas. I also forgot to mention that i had CGW install a Red Dirt “short” trigger. I’d really like to find a traditional looking solid trigger in a silver or black but the ones from CZ/DW always seem to be out-of-stock.

Hoping to run this in some open matches next year along with my S2

Stumbled on this, hadn't seen it here- you can see how the DWX components are individually hand fitted at various stages.

Finished the first full grip out of aluminum today. Everything fits perfectly except for the one thing I hadn't been able to check with my other test parts - the magazine clashes with the back wall of the FCU by maybe .050" and won't fully insert. Should be a pretty simple fix, but at least it latches properly without the FCU installed.

Sent it off to Cajun gun works for porting and optic mounting. Finally came back.

Edit: for those wondering, I shot it today and there was no shrapnel or gas blow back. It handled pretty smoothly and I had to adjust the optical a little bit because it was factory zeroed

If so how tf did you fit that magwell!? Lol

I typically use whatever ammo I have laying around without problems, but today I tried running freedom munitions 135gr hollows and the dwx absolutely tore them up. Dropped the slide and it looked slightly out of battery, but I couldn't open the slide without a tremendous amount of force. Figured it might have just been that round, so I tried another, and it did the same thing.

Thought some of you might find this interesting. I've been able to get most of the key interfaces fitting properly in a couple of aluminum test parts I made. Didn't have the right size stock on hand to build the whole thing, but that should be coming in early next week. Once I've proven the geometry and setups in aluminum, then I'll move onto steel.
