This Gun Shouldn’t Exist… But It Does

About this video

Colion presents his analysis of the Dan Wesson DWX pistol, using an extended metaphor to describe it as the product of a CZ Shadow and a double-stack 1911. He breaks down what he sees as the gun’s design features, ergonomics, and shooting characteristics, arguing it combines the low bore axis and control of the CZ platform with the trigger quality and capacity of a 1911. Colion walks through his experience shooting the DWX and describes what he views as its balance between speed and precision.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the DWX inherits the CZ Shadow’s low bore axis, steel frame weight, and ergonomic feel, which he believes contributes to controlled shooting and natural pointability
• According to Colion, the gun incorporates 1911-style features including a single-action trigger with a clean 3-pound break, 18-19 round capacity, and a linkless barrel system for consistency
• Colion describes the DWX as occupying a middle ground between speed-oriented race guns and precision-focused designs, claiming it delivers both control and rapid target transitions without compromise
