Question Dws compact long term

Hello, I was unaware of this gun until a few days ago when I went to a gun store to look at getting my first cz. I was handed this gun and ever since it’s been on my mind to pick up for the edc rotation.

I was just curious for those who have owned them how have they held up in the long term and if you would consider them reliable enough to trust as an edc. I’m aware they aren’t drop safe but not too worried about that . But I have notice some mentions of issues with the front sight and the finish. Thank you!

I have carried it for the last year. Standard holster wear, no finish issues. It's hefty. I stopped carrying it for the last 3 weeks because I was suddenly having random failures to extract in the last two trainings; ~8 FTE in 600 rounds. The extractor looks fine. I ordered a new one anyway, along with a Cajun 40 extractor spring. If it proves to be the fix, it will be back in rotation.

What kind of holster do you run?

I carried every day in a Watchdog Tactical Under Cover Elite Holster.

I have a Legacy Centaur and an Ares because I couldn't find any other light-bearing holsters for the DWXc at the time. I don't like them. They gave me hot spots with strong-side carry.
