Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce the release of the new CSX E-Series.
In January of 2022, Smith & Wesson introduced a new micro-compact pistol featuring an aluminum alloy frame, called the CSX. Since its release, Smith & Wesson has refined its design, implemented upgrades, and incorporated additional features to elevate the platform to new heights. Smith & Wesson is excited to launch the next evolution in the CSX line – the CSX E-Series.
Although these pistols remain aluminum-alloy-framed micro-compacts, they feature significant design upgrades that are hard to overlook. Available in four 9mm configurations, consumers can now choose between a 3.1-inch or 3.6-inch barrel, two models that include 12, 15, and 17-round magazines, as well as two 10-round compliant variants. CSX E-Series pistols are also optics-ready and utilize an RMS-C/507K footprint. Due to this added feature, these pistols now include Smith & Wesson’s ClearSight cut, designed to strategically divert gasses away from the optic lens, leaving an unobstructed view.
Built with versatility in mind, the CSX E-Series utilizes a new modular grip adapter that allows the user to size down their frame for deep concealment or size up for better handling and increased capacity. They also boast an enhanced trigger that has a light, clean break, improved reset, and straighter pull to the rear, to aid in accuracy. Additional features include interchangeable backstraps, ambidextrous controls, standard white-dot sights, and a flat-black finished frame.
The CSX E-Series – perfect for those who demand more from their concealed carry. For more information, visit www.smith-wesson.com.
S&W missed their chance by naming it the CSX when it’s not a railgun. Are people even buying these? Most I’ve heard is that the trigger sucks for a SAO, the reliability isn’t great, and parts and holster availability isn’t great compared to the Shield Plus that’s the same exact size and capacity. “Modular grip adapter” aka a magazine sleeve.
The CSX was not poo pooed bye all, it offers an alloy frame which many consumers prefer. Not all people are enamored to the Glock plastic brick and Smith is listening to consumer feedback
The CSX does look better than the Shield Plus. I view the Shield Plus as utilitarian. I have the Performance Center version that had a nice trigger, the auto ports, and reliability out of the box. It also has a longer sight radius which matters on a small gun if you don’t use optics.
While this shows a byline of one of your regular writers, it reads like an S&W press release, leaving me to wonder if the writer actually wrote any of it, or simply posted an actual press release from Smith & Wesson. If written by Shooting News Weekly, it’s about as unctuous as it gets, and not the sort of thing regular readers expect from SNW. Rather, we expect objectivity.
