CSX or.....?? If only S&W would make this one!

[Redcoat3340]

I know it's late and I shouldn't post at this hour, but I've been thinking about a CSX and for the life of me can't figure out where it fits in to the guns I need.

I've got a 3914LS and it's nigh on perfect for carry...and the specs are almost equal to the CSX. The 3914 is a bit longer overall (6.8 vs 6.4) and has a longer barrel (3.5 vs 3.1) but it's thinner (1.06 vs 1.12) and DA/SA, not just SA (which even with a grip safety I don't like to carry). And yes the CSX carries either 2 or 4 more rounds, but that isn't a big deal in my view.

So I'm going to pass on the CSX (and if I need more rounds I can take along my 6906.

Now if Smith made a plastic 3914, say using the same mag technology as in the CSX, but all the rest of the gun like the Lady Smith, well, I'd be over that like a cold sweat -- thin, DA/SA, about the same size, safety -- what's not to like?

That would intrigue me, too.

If the csx were da/sa, I would already have one, and sort out the magazine issue on my own.

Me too.....
I moved away from concealed carrying single action autos in the late 80s in favor of DA/SA guns. First a Sig 220 replacing my 1911s. The introduction of the 3rd gen 3913s and 6906s sealed the deal for me. 34 years for me with the Sigs and 32 with the S&Ws


Squidsix good call on that 3913..... had me tempted. Like I need another 39xx gun!!!!!

I think that's called the Shield plus.

Shield plus is striker fired. The very thing that most of us 3913 peeps DO NOT want. The whole point is hammer guns, made from metal.

I would love to have one, I wish they could make one .
