Smith & Wesson CSX 9mm Semi-automatic Micro-Compact Pistol In a world where plastic striker-fired 9mm pistols litter the landscape, the all-new CSX from Smith & Wesson stands apart from the crowd in the best way possible. Like its contemporaries (namely the P365 and Hellcat), it holds 12+1 rounds in a micro-compact footprint, but the CSX features an aluminum alloy frame, external hammer, and single action trigger-making it the only CCW pistol of its kind. It's classic. It's robust. It's the ideal carry gun for shooters who believe that a metal frame, manual safety and hammer system are how a gun SHOULD be made. If you carry in inchCondition 1 inch cocked and locked, but want to get in on the high-capacity micro game, your ship has come in. Beyond the basic build principles, the CSX is another outstanding offering from Smith & Wesson. The controls are ambidextrous, easy to operate, and won't snag on holsters or clothing. The single action trigger is crisp, light and just-plain better than the mushy striker-fired triggers you'd find in similar guns. EZ tabs on the rear of the slide make it significantly easier to rack than other pistols of this size. And it comes with interchangeable textured backstraps that let you find the ideal grip size to match your hands. Best of all, even with the addition of ambidextrous controls, it's STILL just 1.12 inch wide at its widest point, and just 19.5 ounces with the 12-round magazine. It's an exciting little gun, so if you prefer the proven principles of an external hammer and metal frame, we suggest you pull the trigger and pick one up now. Aluminum alloy frame Hammer fired, single action only Frame is just 1.12 inch wide at its widest point Ambidextrous slide stop and manual thumb safety Reversible magazine release makes it friendly to righties and lefties Interchangeable, textured backstraps including small and extra-small sizes for better concealability F
