Made for the DWX. Built for the Way You Shoot.

At its core, the DWX preserves the crisp, intuitive break that has defined generations of performance pistols. Yet beneath the surface, it advances the platform through thoughtful engineering. The traditional barrel link system has been eliminated in favor of a simplified, linkless locked-breech design, enhancing durability and ensuring consistent lockup. Takedown is streamlined and intuitive, while the bushing-less, match-grade barrel system promotes repeatable accuracy and smoother operation.

Customization remains central to its design. Many standard 1911 components allow gunsmiths and competitive shooters to fine-tune performance. Interchangeable sight cuts, a swappable magazine release, and compatibility with widely supported grips and magwells make the DWX adaptable to individual shooting styles and disciplines.

This is where VZ Grips takes the DWX a step further.

We built these grips around what makes the DWX special: performance, versatility, and a platform that can be tailored to the shooter. Our FRAG texture delivers a secure, aggressive purchase, giving you the confidence to maintain a consistent grip when it matters. Pair that with a slim profile designed to keep the pistol comfortable and manageable in the hand, and the result is a grip that feels less like an accessory and more like a natural extension of the pistol.

Whether you're pushing the DWX on the range or carrying it as part of your EDC setup, these grips are designed to keep the profile streamlined while giving you the traction and control you expect from VZ.

Every surface, every fit, every detail reflects Dan Wesson’s commitment to quality above quantity. The DWX is not mass-produced. It is purpose-built—engineered to perform, crafted to endure, and refined to exceed expectations.

VZ Grips brings that same mindset to the interface between you and the pistol: aggressive when you need it, refined where it counts, and built to become part of your DWX.
