I have a csx e series 3.6", and I don't want to sound like that guy, but does anybody else have an issue shooting these accurately? I know the trigger is a little on the stiff side but mine has a few hundred rounds through it, the trigger feels smooth, clean break and reset. But at 25yds this thing is all over the place, even 10yds isn't great. I hope its just me but I have a p365 that I can easily stack shots at 25yds. I know the trigger style is different but even other micro 9s I've shot haven't been this bad. I've used the iron sights and a red dot and it still has no consistency. I'm shooting slow paying very close attention to my technique and I cannot get this thing consistent. I've seen some other posts about barrel problems, Is it possible I got a bad one? Again I apologize because I'm not trying to be the guy who blames the hardware, but at this point I don't know what to do lol.

I’ve not had any problems with either my 3.1” or 3.6” CSXE. Both shoot where I aim.
If you haven’t done so yet, consider having another shoot your gun to confirm your impression.
I wonder if it’s the specific ammo used- could be your CSX doesn’t do well with that particular load.
Good luck & keep us informed

My 3.6 is accurate as heck at up to 25 yards.
Probably the most accurate 9mm I have ever owned, and there have been quite a few...

I reload mostly, using extreme plated 147 gr or 147 blue bullets under a charge to make ~130 power factor in my other guns- roughly 115-120 power factor in my CSXE
I’d recommend trying other ammo to see- try some 124 or 147 gr to see if that helps
I got some other ammo brands and 124g, couldn't get 147 yet. I had a few guys at the range try it, one of which is an incredible shot, and he still couldn't get that tight of a group. He said it's not too bad but the trigger takes some getting used to. So I might just need to work on it more. I tried a shield plus while I was there and had a very tight group at 25yds so maybe the CSXE just isn't for me. Which sucks cause I love single action hammer fire.
How tight of a grouping are you guys able to get? 10 shots at 25yds my p365 is averaging 1.4125" from center, 2.5" being farthest from center, 0.5" being the closest. The CSXE 10 shots is averaging 3.925" from center, 6.375" being the farthest from center, 1.5" being the closest.

I’ve not shot it in a static environment, I’ve been using it in my IDPA games where it serves me well.
I think that is where it shines, at least for me.

Pardon my ignorance.
Don't understand what you mean by these measurements.
I usually see folks describe a group as the diameter of the circle which would cover all the shots.
"I shot a four inch group center to center," means a four inch diameter circle would cover to the centers of all the holes in the target even if they were all low and left.
You would then adjust your sights or your hold to bring the middle of the next group to the x.
So trying to interpret what you said
your p365 is printing a 5 inch group and
the csx-e is printing a 12.5" group?
That is not the trigger.
You should expect the same group from both pistols.
Good luck getting it sorted. I am curious.
Regards!
