The Gun: Dan Wesson DWX Compact

True control doesn’t start at the trigger, it starts in the hand. The DWX Compact is shaped around the way a pistol should feel, drawing from the proven ergonomics of the CZ 75 Compact and refined through Dan Wesson craftsmanship. From the first grip, it feels familiar, balanced, and deliberate.

At just 30.8 ounces, the DWX Compact carries effortlessly while remaining exceptionally shootable. Its slim profile, achieved through Henning aluminum grips and a carefully considered frame, allows it to disappear when carried and reappear with confidence when needed. The result is a pistol that moves naturally with the body, never against it.

A bushing-less, match-grade barrel and locked-breech design simplify maintenance and enhance consistency, while a 15+1 double-stack magazine provides capacity without excess bulk. Standard 1911 components allow for thoughtful customization, ensuring the DWX Compact can be tuned to the individual, because fit is personal.

Every surface, contour, and interface is intentional. Nothing extraneous. Nothing overstated. The DWX Compact isn’t designed to impress at a glance, it’s designed to perform when it matters, becoming an extension of instinct, precision, and control.

The Optic: CT RAD™ Micro Pro

The CT (Crimson Trace) RAD™ (Rapid Aiming Dot) Micro Pro Electronic Sight is an ultra-compact Open Reflex Sight for compact and subcompact pistols. Featuring a red 3-MOA aiming dot, the CT RAD™ Micro Pro has a recessed and fully multi-coated lens with a large quick acquisition window. The CT RAD™ Micro Pro comes with the CT RADIANT™ Ambient Light Sensor that automatically adjusts the aiming dot’s brightness to the surrounding lighting condition. The CT MOTION™ Sensor detects movement of the firearm and automatically turns the reflex sight on. The sight powers off after 2 minutes of zero movement.

The Micro is easily installed on an optics cut slide using the CT micro™ footprint that is also compatible with the Shield RMS® and JPoint® footprints. The Micro has a rear sight notch cut into the back to line up with your front iron sight. Made of 7075 Series Aerospace Aluminum, it is 30% stronger than most industry standard sights made with 6061 Series Aluminum. The entire CT RAD™ family has an Innovative top strap design that deflects force if the sight is dropped. Crimson Trace’s engineers developed a better way to reduce stress on the lens of reflex sights. By combining out-of-the-box thinking with next-level physics, they designed a system that both re-enforces your optic and reduces stress if it happens to get dropped. All this comes with their CRIMSON Protect Lifetime Warranty.

MSRP: $275.00

The Ammo: 500 Rounds of Black Hills 9mm

When you live in a place like the Black Hills of South Dakota, you admire certain qualities in a wild and woolly critter like the honey badger. Qualities like fearlessness. A certain disregard for obstacles. A spirit of perseverance. And a nose for finding good honey. We admired those critters enough, that we named our line of innovative defense ammunition after them. Introducing the HoneyBadger™. Solid copper, non-deforming, non-fragmenting projectiles with wide, sharp flutes. Ballistic broadheads that cut through barriers that cause hollowpoints to fail. An overall increase in depth and width of wound cavities. In that moment, when you need the best to defend your family’s life or your own, we think you’ll appreciate a certain quality the HoneyBadger™ possesses for the least complicated reason in the world. It works.
