Rifleman Review: Smith & Wesson CSX E-Series

Micro-compact 9 mm pistols are really popular right now, and have been popular for several years. Typically, they're polymer-frame and striker-fired. In 2022, ‪@SmithAndWessonInc‬ took a little bit of a different tack with that design concept with the original CSX. Well, now, Smith & Wesson has upgraded that platform with what it calls its E-Series. The E in that stands for "enhanced." And there are definitely some enhancements here that we want to talk about. First off, what we're looking at here on the table is a CSX that is sized pretty much like the original one. It has a 3.1 inch barrel, and the grip frame is the same size. It has the 12-round slightly extended magazine inserted here.So we'll just go ahead and pull that out. It's worth noting that with the E-Series, Smith & Wesson also introduced another model that has a slightly longer barrel. That is a 3.6 inch barrel. This is the 3.1 inch. Right off the bat, one of the things you'll see here is there is a cover plate here. To watch complete segments of past episodes of American Rifleman TV, go to americanrifleman.org/videos/artv.
