Description
This is the factory-spec 10-round 9mm magazine engineered specifically for the Dan Wesson DWX Compact. It uses the CZ 75 Compact proven double-stack magazine body paired with Dan Wesson's signature thin aluminum basepad, which is purpose-designed to lock properly in the DWX Compact's magazine well. The restricted 10-round capacity makes it a practical choice for shooters in regions with capacity restrictions or those who prefer the balance between firepower and concealability.
Mag compatibility matters with this platform. While the magazine tube itself is based on the CZ 75 Compact design, the DWX Compact requires the specific thin basepad that comes factory on these magazines. Standard CZ 75 magazines with thicker basepads won't fully seat and lock, so sourcing the correct factory or compatible replacement mag is important.
The Henning aluminum basepad adds durability and maintains the profile alignment with the DWX Compact's aluminum grip panels for a finished appearance. Whether you're building a second magazine set, replacing a worn unit, or stocking up for training, factory magazines ensure the feed reliability you expect from Dan Wesson's precision platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a standard CZ 75 magazine work in my DWX Compact?
Not reliably. While the DWX Compact uses a CZ 75 Compact magazine body, it requires a special thin aluminum basepad to lock and seat properly. Standard CZ 75 magazines have thicker basepads that prevent full insertion and locking. This factory DWX magazine comes with the correct thin basepad engineered for your platform.
What capacity options are available for the DWX Compact?
The DWX Compact comes standard with 15-round magazines. This 10-round version is a factory option built on the same proven magazine design, making it ideal for restricted capacity requirements or personal preference.
Can I mix 10-round and 15-round magazines in my DWX Compact?
Yes. Both capacities use the same magazine body and are designed to function interchangeably in the DWX Compact platform. You can load and run whichever capacity you need depending on your situation.
Is this magazine construction reliable?
Yes. The DWX Compact's magazine design is based on the CZ 75 Compact platform, which has a proven track record. Pair that with Dan Wesson's quality control and the durable Henning aluminum basepad, and you have a magazine that stands up to both training and defensive use.
Why does the DWX Compact need a special basepad?
The DWX Compact has a slightly different magazine well geometry than standard CZ 75 platforms. The thin aluminum basepad is engineered to fit this geometry precisely, ensuring the mag locks securely and seats flush every time without requiring modifications.
