The night sights on my Shield PC have what I would describe as an overhang towards the rear that if placed on the CSX would extend beyond the rear of the slide. One of the nice features, at least in my own preference, of the CSX being hammer fired is that it does not have that extended length of the slide on the rear that striker fired pistols like the Shield typically have.
Thank you sie. I stopped at a nearby LGS a while ago and they had a CSX. I compared them and as you so rightly said, the shape/contour is the problem
