    CSX E-series owners PLEASE respond

    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...

    459 is on its way. Yea!

    I also saw that nickel 459 many times... Good snag on that 459. I also paid $300 for mine and it is definitely the worst shape pistol I have. Had a little rust on it specifically on the safety decock lever and the grip screws. I store it a little "wet" for protection. It is what it is and...
