That 4516 looks sweet and you got a a better price than I did. I am Glad to have one also as you can see in my Avatar along with my SW1911TA. I paid 550.00 cash at my LGS 3 years ago. I forget if my 4516 is a -1, 2 or 3 ... heck there could be a -4 somehow depending on parts or contracts at...

another Forum member CSX fan ! Hello Tom, I am glad you had a positive experience and thanks for sharing with all of us...maybe some other members will become fans also. The first CSX's got a bad Rap because of the trigger reset, the floating mag sleeve, and no optics mounting, etc. Never...

3913 will bring joy! Hi Baird and Everyone ! another old saying is "you can't take it with you"...if a 3913 will lift your spirits and bring joy then enjoy the joyous joy you'll have and extend that joy to others when you share your joy at the range. Oh, and do not worry, one of us...

When I bought my SW99 it was LNIB with all the goodies, it was a 9mm but when I was at the Store, under the foam was a .40 cal barrel. It also came with 2 9 mm mags and 3 .40 cal mags...was a score at $425.00. It was my first .40 cal and that broke the cherry as now I have many SW .40 cal...

Hello Crow !! I have shot the cz shadow 9 with a dot on it and couldn't miss. Felt good in my hand. I am looking for a CZ and or clone (Bunch of good ones), as well as a Hi Power or clone...I like the idea of forged as opposed to cast (as the FNs are) which are SA35 or EAA/Tanfoglio/Girsan...

I was surprised to see that the reviewer Sootchoo on youtube, even though he mentioned the perceived "Bad Trigger" on the original CSX, he admitted that in 2022, with the original CSX model, he still liked it enough to make it his everyday carry, and he has now adopted the New CSX-E as his EDC...
