Smith & Wesson CSX?

[GaryS]

Rumors and leaked photos of a new SAO semi auto pistol.

And here, New Smith & Wesson CSX 9mm Pistol LEAKED! ⋆ Primer Peak
Supposedly the same size as the CS9, but with 10 or 12 round capacity.

The SAO thing, if true, is weird and certainly makes it not the 21st Century version of the CS9. Or maybe there are other variations coming.

 

[RCL-09]

I'd like to see that in a traditional SA/DA configuration.

 

[GaryS]

That was my thought. There's a lot of demand (at least here) for a CS9 replacement. In TDA form that gun might be it.

I'd like to see that in a traditional SA/DA configuration.

 

[Sevens]

From the short bit offered, it looks like a direct competitor and lower cost alternative to the Wilson EDCx9.

I could see my best gun bro grabbing one of these, so this kinda excites me just for him. I bet he will be on the early QC staff (unpaid of course!) for this one!

I'll report back if that happens.

 

[Old_Cop]

It's new and it's different but is the public clamoring for a single action polymer exposed hammer pistol? I hope that S&W has done their homework.

 

[Sevens]

Okay, while that is a point — I would ask how relevant a point that is to S&W. This is company that debuted the M&P 10mm… only about a dozen years later than the public begged and cried for it. This is the company that released the S&W Governor after all the goofballs that actually wanted a silly .410 revolver had ten years of throwing money at Taurus.

So yes, solid question, has S&W done the market research?

Lemme ask this… how often DOES Smith & Wesson do their research on what folks want?! While CZ, Beretta, FN and SAR keep making and selling DA/SA metal frame handguns, S&W long ago gave up on their legendary 3rd Gen pistol and all evidence suggests that S&W does not really genuinely care what we think.

Yet "We" keep buying their products and making them rich.

Hahahaha, you got a mouse in your pocket!

My last new S&W purchase was June, 1990.

 

[kraynky]

My last new S&W purchase was in the early to mid 90's I think. I do own one of their Shield 45s, which I really do like. However, all of my other S&Ws are pre-lock revolvers or 3rd gen pistols. I do like the fact that the hammer is exposed on this one. Hope to fondle one soon.

 

[Professor Frink]

If it is what it looks like, I'll be getting one.

 

[hook63]

Strange trigger kinda like it doesn't pivot

 

[Hoosierville IRN]

I would like it in DA/SA also. I don't trust "cocked and locked" (Condition 1) without a grip safety. The thumb safety is too easy to accidentally disengage IMHO. In DA/SA, with hammer down/safety off configuration, it would probably entice me to drop my Glock in favor of it for EDC.

BTW, it took me quite a while to get used to carrying a Glock for EDC. I'm EXTREMELY careful putting it in and taking it out of holsters. Once the trigger is covered, not so bad. With a hammer DA/SA gun, the trigger pull is longer and you can put your thumb on the hammer to detect movement while holstering.

Three. My last new S&W purchase is a 617-6 2 1/2 years ago. The only others were an M&P15 and a 60-15, both purchased more than a year before. Otherwise, used J's, a third-gen, and pre-K's before and since.

 

[tennexplorer]

I wonder how CSX is going to like them using those three letters?

 

[psquarejr]

If it is what it looks like, I'll be getting one.

I agree, I like what I see and I'm very interested in it!!!

They've applied for a trademark for use on firearms.

Interesting. CSX was the logo for a railroad freight line in my area for a generation.

 

[cmj8591]

It looks like a 1911 and a 45 Shield had an ugly baby. And is that fidget spinner, Glock trigger safety supposed to take the place of the grip safety? I'm not sure what market this thing is satisfying.

 

[Maddog 521]

That CSX looks very interesting.

 

[GaryS]

I can't disagree with a thing you said. If it's supposed to be "the new CS9" then they missed the mark.

[Doc1500]

It reminds me a lot of my
CZ P–07, which is the pistol that got me into Hammer fired instead of Striker Fired, and I never turn back.

 

[The_Truth]

Looks like an uglier, plastic version of a Sig P938 to be honest.

 

[18DAI]

Oh, a new s&w. Whats for dinner? Regards 18DAI

 

[Wdbutcher97]

This might be good for someone who wants a 1911 that doesn't look or feel like a 1911. It'll be interesting to see what the price will be on the CSX.

Still is. Although I miss the C&O/Chessie System with its kitten.

CSX locomotives are almost as boring looking as Norfolk Southern locomotives.

why S&W would pick this as the name is beyond me. I have/had a CS9, and a SAO just makes me scratch my head.

 

[lkabug]

So we're going to have a Chiefs Special X (10)?

 

[Wdbutcher97]

It reminds me a lot of my
CZ P–07, which is the pistol that got me into Hammer fired instead of Striker Fired, and I never turn back.

A Smith & Wesson version of the CZ P-07 with a M&P grip would be fine with me, but that'll never happen. My 5906 is nearly the perfect pistol except for the weight.

 

[GerSan69]

I don't care about all that, I like it. I want one. Yep. Maybe two.

 

[ladder13]

They will sell a ton of these.
