Anyone have any thoughts on Smith & Wesson's new CSX?

CSX | Smith & Wesson

The CSX is built on an aluminum alloy frame with interchangeable polymer back straps, providing the user the ability to customize their level of concealment and ergonomic fit. Chambered in 9mm, the CSX holds an impressive 12+1 capacity and comes with an additional 10 round magazine for deeper...

Interesting to see this product launch at a time when plastic fantastics seem to have taken over.

I havent seen one yet. Im sure I will at Shot next week, if S&W is there anyway...It looks like a 2011 version of the p938. Meh.

The CSX is a bit larger than the P938, which IMHO is a good thing. The P238/P938 form factor just didn't work for me.

Looks nice! If only they had made it single/double action. Does this ride on the inside of the frame like a CZ? Looks like it.

I believe it does.

I'm hoping to have mine before this weekend. I'll be doing a full review on my website once I get it.

Totally agree. I think that was the biggest let down for me, I wish it was single/double action. Would be pretty much a guaranteed buy from me if it were.

Interesting. I've been shooting 1911's for long enough that I don't really care about a DA pistol at this point. Not trying to provoke a fight about SA vs DA ... it just hadn't occurred to me that not being a DA pistol could be a liability to its sales.

I guess some of the 3rd gen S&W pistols were SA/DA. Not sure what that did to their size.

I think it looks good. Nice to have a firearm with some heft to it. Should make shooting it pretty nice. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one to try out.
