Dan Wesson Firearms proudly announces that the Dan Wesson DWX and Dan Wesson Specialist are featured on the cover of the April 2026 issue of Guns & Ammo, now available on newsstands nationwide.
"To be featured on the cover of Guns & Ammo with both the DWX and Specialist is a tremendous honor," said Chris Sprangers, Director of Marketing for CZ and Dan Wesson Firearms. "The DWX represents innovation rooted in heritage, and the Specialist continues to define what a duty-grade 1911 should be. Seeing both recognized together speaks to the breadth of the Dan Wesson lineup."
The issue highlights the two standout pistols under the cover headline "OH, DAN!" and features an in-depth article beginning on page 36.
The feature explores both single-stack and double-stack performance platforms, showcasing the craftsmanship and performance standards that define the Dan Wesson brand.
A Study in Contrast: DWX & Specialist
The Dan Wesson DWX bridges two legendary systems, combining the ergonomics and capacity of the CZ 75 platform with the crisp, single-action trigger of a 1911. The result is a modern performance pistol engineered for shooters who demand precision, reliability, and refined shootability in a double-stack format.
Alongside it, the Dan Wesson Specialist continues to stand as a benchmark in the duty-grade 1911 category. Built from forged components with meticulous attention to fit and finish, the Specialist embodies the enduring strength of the single-stack 1911 design, offering premium materials, combat-ready features, and unwavering reliability.
Together, the DWX and Specialist represent two distinct paths to performance, one rooted in traditional 1911 heritage, the other redefining hybrid innovation, yet both unmistakably Dan Wesson. Built with precision manufacturing, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail, each firearm reflects the craftsmanship and performance standards that define the brand.
A Testament to Craftsmanship
Being featured on the cover of one of the industry's most respected publications underscores Dan Wesson's unwavering commitment to precision manufacturing and meticulous craftsmanship. Every Dan Wesson firearm is built with the company's guiding philosophy in mind: "Quality Above Quantity."
The April 2026 issue of Guns & Ammo is available now at retailers nationwide and online at gunsandammo.com.
