Received my DWX Compact OR back from Dan Wesson today. The finish is different than original and definitely different from the refinish done in Oct 2025. They also fitted a new Red trigger. Guess they realized the original trigger fit really bad. They did not address fitment issues I brought up in my claim. Not in writing and not verbally, invoice does not show any labor for fitment etc. Sooo I’m going to address the fitment of my chassis to grip frame.

The chassis has always felt looser than it should be especially compared to other DWX Compacts I’ve compared it too. Took measurements today. Avg of 30 measurements at wides point of chassis is 16.30mm the average internal measurement of the “frame” pocket where the chassis sits 16.44mm. Since I’ve been told before by DW that it was “in spec” I have to assume the tolerance is a massive 0.006 inch (0.15mm). This is a non moving part. 6/1000 is extremely sloppy. The chassis is held in place by tension placed on a spring by the slide stop pin. That is a lot of sloppy space to try and cover with a simple spring. Using some 0.15mm stainless steel shim material I cut a small rectangle 7mm x 10mm. This will fill the slop. I removed the chassis and reinstalled with shim on the left side (safety side) of the chassis. No more shifting. Slide now sits perfectly centered in the grip (see last picture) and the side to side wobble of the slide & chassis is virtually gone.

Test firing tomorrow. Will see if this keeps the barrel/slide etc in place correctly and eliminates the scouring that has been happening to the barrel and barrel hood etc.
