CSX E series manual safety tight

[tvphotog]

I've worn a blister on my thumb trying to swipe the lever to SAFE. Does it ever break in to be easier to use over time?

Do not understand...does not compute...Mine was made 1/27/25 and presents no problems taking the safety off or putting it on..it does take a good shove to engage it but it is fairly easy.

I'm trying to do it with the side of my thumb as if I were swiping it off SAFE. If I break my grip, yes, I can do it with the tip of my strong side thumb. With my 1911's, I can do both with the side of my thumb without breaking my grip.

I was going to send you a video of mine being put on and off but for some reason the video will not load onto this forum.....it says I have a security format missing....it is a mp4 video.....sorry.....

I looked at a few of the new E series at my LGS. On each, the left side paddle was somewhat difficult to engage safe with just my thumb without adjusting my grip. While I'd prefer an easily engaging paddle, it's not a deal breaker for me as that's not a task I think I would perform under stress or pressure. Disengaging the safety was not an issue for me.

Of the 3 I fondled, one had a very good trigger IMO, one an OK trigger, and one not so good. They all pointed well, felt good in the hand and I'm intrigued. I might just get one, though the total cost ( gun, holster extra mags) is a concern.

Tempting, but she who must be obeyed has to give her ok

I need another CSX like I need another mouth to feed (I've already got my EDC and a backup/spare one) but I've been toying with the idea of sending one off to have the slide milled for a mini reddot. The new E series would negate the need to have one milled. The other issue would be finding a CSX holster, suitable for EDC, that would be compatible with a reddot.

The 1791 Gunleather Optic Ready BHC Maxholster for a SIG P365XL is not a perfect fit but sufficient for use until something better comes along.
MTR custom offers a nice holster if you want to wait 25 weeks.

You solved my problem. I agree, after a string of fire, there's no hurry to push the lever up to SAFE, I can do it with my support thumb; upon drawing the gun, it's also easy to sweep down to FIRE with a hard, palpable "click". So, I'm leaving the safety as it is.

Vedder makes four custom holsters for the CSX. I have the IWB ProTuck, with two spaced beltloops for security.

But if you mount an optic, the slide is so short on the CSX that the optic will hit your belt top before the gun seats in the holster. I replaced the OEM metal loops with the photo-attached loops from DCC, their "super shorty" loops. In the bottom vertical hole, they will give you about .25" clearance of the optic above the belt .

How well does the sig optic witness with the front sight? On my p365xl its the only optic that was low enough to actually co witness with the front. Hoping it works with the csx as well.

I've never checked on paper so I can't give you an answer.
I've been using RMRs for almost ten years.
Before this SIG Romeo X it was three Trijicons and I've come to know that they are VERY rugged so I don't pay attention to the sights anymore.
Time will tell if the SIG is as rugged.
Before the SIG Romeo X arrived I shot about 290+ rounds with the open sights and they were definitely close enough for any self defense situation that I may encounter.
Five inch swingers at twelve yards were given a lesson in lead.

Firends in high places, what can I say? No, really, just took a 1`6 hour course, written and shooting test, and had to wait 13 months for the permit.
