The Dan Wesson DWX 92013 combines 1911-style ergonomics with modern striker-fired reliability in a competition-ready platform. This optics-ready pistol delivers match-grade accuracy with enhanced durability through its DLC-coated steel slide and aluminum frame construction.
What Makes This Different
The DWX bridges the gap between traditional 1911 craftsmanship and contemporary tactical requirements. Its aluminum frame reduces weight by 15% compared to steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity. The match-grade barrel and precision-fitted slide deliver consistent sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards. DLC coating provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces friction for smoother cycling.
Key Features

Competitive shooters benefit from the crisp trigger break and minimal reset distance. The low bore axis reduces muzzle flip during rapid-fire sequences. Law enforcement professionals appreciate the ambidextrous controls and proven 9mm ballistics. The optics-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without modification, while the Picatinny rail enables weapon light integration for duty applications.
