I am always reevaluating my holster choices for my EDC firearms. Since late last summer, I have been carrying the CSX all day, everyday and I have come to appreciate the CSX's ergonomics & firepower in such a small package.
With the small size of the CSX, it just doesn't make any sense to me, to wrap it in a bulky holster. I typically carry IWB in a Kydex holster but with getting older I occasionally have to switch to OWB due to hip issues.
Enter the Don Hume J.I.T. Slide holster. I have used J.I.T. Slides for other pistols over the years and find them to be very high quality and quite affordable. While Don Hume does not have a J.I.T. Slide listing for the CSX, after a bit of research and size comparison on Handgun Hero (very helpful), I decided to order a J.I.T. Slide for the Sig 938. As received, the CSX could be forced into the JIT Slide but it was just too tight to be usable. However, after liberally spraying the interior of the tightly formed leather holster with a spray liquid silicone (not the greasy silicone spray) and then inserting the bagged pistol, (CSX inside a heavy ziploc sandwich baggie), for a couple days, the CSX now fits perfectly.
I will start working with the holster tomorrow, doing dry fire draws, until the interior of the holster is properly burnished.
Just another option for CSX fans to consider.
