    On a slightly unrelated note (and my apologies for the thread drift), will the CZ-75 mags work in an AT-84?

    Jenky website but wide selection, good prices, and fast shipping.

    Gunmagwarehouse.com is another good one.

    My experience has been any small frame CZ clone will use CZ75 mags with no issues, though I have no experience with that particular firearm.

    Like your buddy YVK, who just realized that this is gonna be available in .40SW, and therefore is off-the-shelf Limited gun option with CZ ergos, but normally placed thumb safety and 1911 trigger.

    The DWX sure looks like a winner. I wonder when they will be generally available for sale? It sure would be good for DW if they were out early enough in the year for interested folks to get one in time to practice with it for the 2020 shooting season.

    On the CZ TRS the new Red colored shadow 2 ones do not break often. I broke one this year on my practice gun in ~40k rounds and hundreds of hours of dry fire. Its now just a replace yearly spring.
    Do you know if the safety is interchangeable with a standard 1911 safety?

    Thanks for taking the time to stop by and share your knowledge on the DWX.

    Using CZ mags, I would bet on CZ P09/CZ75 mag releases.

    I may have missed this. If you put an optic on this gun would it be considered "Open" or "Carry Optic"? 1911 trigger and CZ frame.
    Real guns have hammers.

    Open because it's SAO.

    Carry optics is DA/SA or striker fired only. (or DAO, etc.) No Single action only guns.

    Also I'm not sure if you'd be over the weight limit. But SAO bumps you to open.

    Its my understanding that it isn't a simple interchange because the front of the safety is designed different. I think a regular safety could be modified to work by a smith.

    I was dismissive of the DWX Compact, but I discovered a need for a 9mm Commander today.
    Or one of these.
