Smith wesson the model 14 sao4/10/2023 With a little tool designed to compress the mainspring, the backstrap is quickly and easily popped off the CSX and can be exchanged for others of varying size and thickness. One unique feature with the CSX, something I don’t believe another micro compact pistol offers, is swappable backstraps. It has more smooth surface area than the Shield Plus does as the rest of the CSX’s aluminum frame is smooth. That makes it slightly larger than the SIG P365, for example, but still within the popular micro compact and even perhaps pocket pistol size range.Ī sandpaper-esque pebble texture is molded into the polymer grip inserts of the CSX. I have no real clue how that’ll play with the hammer-fired metal-framed pistol crowd.Īnyway, compared to the M&P9 Shield Plus the CSX is effectively identical in length (6.1″), width (1.12″ across the controls), and height (4.6″), and is only 1.6 ounces heavier (19.5 oz). That said, the frontstrap and backstrap inserts are polymer and that’s most of what you feel when you grip the CSX. I know there are many dapper gentlemen out there who prefer an external hammer, and I’m fairly sure the vast majority of them also want a metal frame so it was wise of S&W to machine the CSX’s frame from aluminum. To my knowledge, the Smith & Wesson CSX is the first pistol in this micro compact size category (see P365 vs Hellcat vs MAX-9 vs Shield Plus) to combine a 10+ round capacity and an external hammer.
