Optics ready plates for Dan Wesson DWX

The Dan Wesson DWX is a 1911/CZ hybrid competition pistol with a factory optics cut on the slide. Some plates include an integrated rear sight — maintaining a usable iron sight at co-witness height without adding to the overall stack height of the assembly.

Running a red dot low on the slide means you find the dot quickly and track it through the shot with both eyes open, rather than aligning two iron sights under time pressure. The plate is what turns the Dan Wesson DWX into an optic-ready gun: it fills the mounting interface and presents the exact footprint your red dot needs, so the optic sits flat and stays put under recoil.

Compatibility is set by the Dan Wesson DWX's mounting cut on one side and your optic's footprint on the other — both have to match the plate. Where a co-witness iron matters, look for a plate with an integrated rear sight. Always confirm the exact fit on the individual product page before ordering.
