Considering a CSX-E

[Tanners Owner]

As the title states, am considering acquiring a CSX-E. I’ve fondled some, as well as some standard CSXs and am impressed at the ergos. On the 4-5 examples I looked at, trigger quality was from fair to good.

I am also considering a small revolver- diamondback SDR. I fondled one as well and was impressed. Both guns are similar in size.

Purpose will be carry and some light competition ( IDPA/ ICORE).

I like the simplicity of revolvers, but also shoot / carry semi autos too; Sig 365, Ruger LCR, or CZ P10c.

So for those with CSX E experience, what are your thoughts on it as a carry gun?

Just bought a 3.6" CSX-E to add to my EDC rotation. Love the ergonomics! I've configured mine with the large grip module that allows the 15rd mag to be used without the spacer. I'm looking forward to running it this weekend.

FWIW...my CSX E 3.6 inch barrel has become my primary everyday carry. It relegated my Shield Plus to backup...POI is POA at least with mine...sights seem to be perfectly aligned.
Trigger is crisp, no mush, short reset and the trigger and the accuracy is what made it my everyday carry. In my biased opinion you really can't go wrong with the CSX E (either barrel length)

If you are satisfied with the ergos with the CSX E I recommend shooting one if you can at a rental range. I've had mine for about 3 months and get 3 fingers on the grip with the 12 round mag installed. Carry it in a Galco IWB pouch. I like mine a lot.

Your gun looks darn nice!! Liked the looks of them to begin with. Plus metal is a plus along with the size. like to get to try one at my club. They seem to have a following for a gun that has a short history. Price is decent.

I bought one a few months back.
So far about 400 rounds with a number of loads, both factory and hand-loads, and 100% function.
I haven't been able to get a holster I really like but a 1791 is fine for now.

I actually put my Dan Wesson Valkyrie Commander in 9mm back in the safe a few weeks ago,
The CSX, for me, is a winner.
