This video from SPN Firearms demonstrates how a shorter barrel and slide on a handgun significantly reduces muzzle flip, leading to faster follow-up shots. The instructor advocates for 'hybrid' carry guns, which combine a shorter slide with a full-length grip, and explains the physics behind muzzle rise related to mass. Practical advice is given on using holster wedges to improve concealment and draw with shorter-barreled firearms.
The Dan Wesson DWX is a hybrid handgun blending CZ-75 and 1911 platforms, featuring a 5-inch reverse crown bull barrel and aluminum grips. Initially released without optics cuts and at a high MSRP, it has since become optics-ready and seen a price reduction. The reviewer questions its market position against more affordable 2011-style competitors, despite its perceived quality.
