More like a modern, lighter-weight, higher capacity 4506.You mean... a 1911?

I wish it was a DA/SA without a trigger dingy, and in .45 or .40. I just have too many 9mm and another 9mm has to really tickle me to buy
I also like to carry a extra mag for my incase my mag fails or gun gets clucked up.Im with you .. problem is a 40 S&W in that size would be quite lively.. .. and in 45 it would be a totally different realm .. I think they could get it to the Shield 45 size ….which would sell like Hotcakes
Went shooting at local gun store today. When done looked around and saw the CSX. Was able to handle and dry fire it. First impressions were very good. I was able to get a full grip on it with the 12 round magazine and trigger was nice but a little heavy. Review shown above and the trigger went down to 5.5 LBs pull after 500 rounds which for me would be perfect for a carry gun. Could care less about the trigger dingus as it was smooth and could not tell it was there when working the trigger. The safety is in the smaller side but I found it easy and intuitive to deactivate but a little more challenging to activate which to me is not a problem either. It does not feel heavy but the metal frame imparts a solid feel. Hopefully I will get to try one out soon. This looks to be another big seller for Smith and Wesson.
I am hoping to get to hold and fire one at some point.I got a chance to shoot Smith’s new CSX yesterday and today. And I have to say I am much impressed. I would have preferred a slightly lighter trigger pull and night sights, but could live happily with the gun as it is. Near-perfect carry gun, particularly for those accustomed to 1911 format.
I would have bought one yesterday, but my current carry, a SIG p365 with manual thumb safety, already serves the purpose well.
But maybe if I shot the CSX again tomorrow…

Same lol. I’m still running a Shield 1.0 and a 642. One day I’d like a shield plusThe Gun of the Month Club is going to cancel your membership for stuff like that.
And you have to get done with the CSX to be ready for a .30 Super.
Me? Now I am TWO generations behind, I depend on single stacks and don't even have a small higher capacity 9mm like P365 or Shield Plus, much less an all new caliber.
Is the texture on the grip panels as rough as the other M&P 2.0 guns?

I like striker for super compact pocket guns like LCP and LC9… but having a hammer is a comfort food for me. But for SA olny, my Colt Defender 45 with extra mag (WC mag) works for my low profile dress shirt carry needsWhile that would be nice I don't think it is possible to have the mechanisms required for reliable/durable DA/SA in that size pistol. Springfiield Armory XDE was an attempt at that and I don't think it was well recieved by shooters in general and has been discontinued. May SA is coming out with a better replacement? Possibly but have not read anything about that yet. While there are a lot of us DA/SA external hammer fired pistol fans , we are dwarfed by the numbers of those buying striker fired pistols, especially for concealed carry.

I hear you. I have 9"s coming out my...ears. Just bought a Taurus G3 and a S&W SD9VE for absolutely no good reason.Terry G,
I did not part with my CZ9s (compact and RAMI); I just added the CSX to the mix.
