I hope that the csx becomes more popular than the shield series. I love hammer fired metal frame guns. Specially when they’re American made 🇺🇸
:)
Hopefully, I answered most of your questions. Let me know if what I missed.
Great video!!! Very informative and detailed analysis. One of the best comparison videos out there. Great job Ms Julie!!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Yes to the full comparison video!!! Thanks for the information.
I'll see if I can make that happen! Thanks for watching.
Great one
Exceptional coverage and explanation in this Q&A!
Appreciate it, Sheldon!
Julie, you are awesome, thank you for what you do for us....
So kind. Thank you!
Julie I really appreciate your reviews I think they're some of the most upfront honest videos out there!
I appreciate that!
As a single action fan, I really like the fact that the CSX is another option on top of the micro SIGs and Kimbers with greater capacity. I definitely see myself picking one up in the future.
Hope you can track one down, Andrew. :)
Thanks for the answers, This gun definitely peaks my interests and will be looking at as soon as I can find one. Thanks S&W for offering it.
THanks for watching, Bill!
Thanks,Julie a lot of great information
Glad it was helpful!
Great review and comparison! I am looking forward to seeing one in person. I truly appreciate you having this channel and representing the firearms world in a safe and positive manner! Thank you!
Glad to help and thank you so much for subscribing.
"...representing the firearms world in a safe and positive manner" - and wonderfully articulate, too.
U rock, thanks!
Thanks Julie
My pleasure, Daniel.
Thank you Julie! 😊
You are so welcome!
Very informative. Even though I'm a die hard 1911 fan, I intend to give this pistol a close examination as soon as I can.
Thanks Julie 👏😊
You’re welcome 😊
Bought one. Shot it. Love it. Carry daily.
Thanks for the informative video
My pleasure and thanks for watching!
Loved it Julie 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Joseph!
The Bodyguard is my favorite of the group. Of all of my handguns, it's been the single longest carry. No matter what else I carry, my Bodyguard is always there.
Nice!!!
I got CSX and I love it got a 9 mm plus Express love it to , love your videos
Glad to hear it and thank you!
Thanks!
So kind Mary-Adela. Thank you and have a lovely week!
Nice Presentation Jules! Always a pleasure watching your videos with that American Smile! Looking forward in getting my hands on one! PS I love my Shield Plus- I never leave home without her! My first Handgun Purchase was the Old 5906 that I purchased back in 91- You got to Love the Metal Frames firearms! I still take the 5906 to the range, they are soo smooth and a joy to shoot!
Thanks and that 5906 is a KEEPER!!!!
I saw 1 today at my local gun store. And sized it up to my large hands. You are spot on it is small. I appreciate you answering a lot of the questions potential buyers have..
Glad to help and that you were able to check one out.
Thank you fir the video. God bless you and yours.
Blessings to you!
Beautiful Gun. Love it
👍
I loved my CS9. I would definitely like to see a side by side of the csx and cs9.
Another awesome video!
Thank you!
@@juliegolob you are very welcome
Good video, I have the 9 and 380 EZ"S and love them might be interested in the CSX because of the extra capacity.
👍👍👍
Thanks . I’ve been waiting for a gun like the CSX.
Glad to hear it.
Great video. I was really interested in the comparison to the 9mm ez, and how the slide racked. Thanks. You rock. Long live freedom!
My pleasure!
This is awesome. I love the transparency and conversational tone. This is the kind of thing consumers really appreciate from brands. No corporate-marketing speak (and I'm in marketing, so, you know)... just talk to us and answer our questions. Hope the CSX sells like crazy. And thanks for the video.
Appreciate this so much! I've certainly done plenty of commercial type videos for brands, but these are my favorite, when I spend time with pistol and can go through in more detail.
@@juliegolob Yeah, I think it's a great venue to get to know the gun... and I'll second the interest in a DA/SA version. Thanks again!
Great video Julie. One issue were seeing with some of the popular gun tubers is that the trigger reset is throwing some shooters off. I just bought a performance center shield plus to go with the rest of my M&Ps. Again, thanks for the video
I've pinned the trigger a couple of times mostly because it's been really cold every time I've shot it. It's just a matter of getting used to it, same with any trigger. The gun has such a short stroke in general I don't even care about reset personally.
@@juliegolob Thanks for the info Julie. If this comes out in 45acp, ill pick one up. S&W has had a great year with innovation. Ill keep my fingers crossed
What can I say Julie you’re just awesome. I’ll see big things in the future for this platform. I would love to see a 380 version I would love to see a performance center version and an optic ready version I mean I think this thing has huge potential. I’m gonna wait because I’m used to watch Smith & Wesson does when they come out with the additional feature pistols later. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it very much, James!
Thanks so much for this, Julie G!!! I sure hope we see a DA/SA and Performance Center version eventually!
My pleasure and that would be neat.
This would be perfect in a DA/SA. Sadly it's impossible to find a subcompact/micro 9 DA/SA with decocker. I just hope my 3913 never breaks.
great info ma'am bring out all the guns lets go over them please and i want this one more now thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
cool video! thank you!
Thanks so much!
Good Job! I am looking forward to getting mine! I really liked the sig 938, but it has low capacity and is a small brick. The CSX is pretty exciting, I have a feeling my wife will be wanting it like she did to me with the hellcat lol
Thanks! I hope you both like it :)
Thanks Julie, that was very helpful. My CSX is scheduled to be delivered to my FFL thisWednesday, so I'm looking forward to trying it out! Also, kudos for having such a great 'hair day' when you recorded this. (lol) ;)
Why thank you! It's about to get donated but I will miss it. Hope you like the CSX
Getting one of these oct 29th, selling my pos kahr k9.
I've been using Galco holsters for a few years. Mostly for full sized S&W revolvers and 1911's. Both S&W K and L frames. Been using the FLETCH and the Phoenix holsters.
When you said Galco is in the process of a new design for the CSX in the near future it was good news. I can imagine the Combat Master holster to be just the thing. A strong side, open top holster that is permitted under USPSA and IDPA. One thing about leather holsters it makes you look good. Even in a tuxedo.
True on the tux!!!! :) Hope to share a few holsters soon.
I might even consider retiring my 80's era Firestar for the CSX.
Glad it will be sold in Massachusetts. Can't wait...
:)
I think the shape of the beaver tile is similar to the 1911 model. If so, it's easy to grip.
Yes, I would like to see a full comparison of other hammer fired semi autos.
Trying to find mags everywhere. Truly happy with this model and cocked and locked carry style.
Hard to track down for sure. Watch GunMagWarehouse.com is my best suggestion.
The full comparison would be interesting, but you hit the main comparisons I wanted to see--minus one: the 3913 (or an even older one, the ASP custom Model 39).
I second the request for a comparison to the 3913/3914 series. While they lack some of the features of newer guns (interchangeable backstraps for example) I really like how they fit my hand & how they shoot. The extra capacity of the CSX is obviously one thing they can't match.
I wish I had one to share with you!
Thanks - great video. I like the new gun, but it's too small for me to control. I'll be getting an EZ version, or trading my 380 one for the 9mm version. I wish the grip on it(the new gun) were longer.
Totally understand. I think the Shield EZ is a great option too.
Great video. A follow up video comparing different S&W handguns would be appreciated. In particular, I suggest showing accuracy tests on the range. No matter how wonderful a gun may be, it does no good if I can't hit the target. Thanks!
I'll try to make that happen. Thanks!
Great reviews! You’re so dang knowledgeable, entertaining and ok, gorgeous. I’m going to keep my S&W Bodyguard as a backup based on this review. Thanks!
Semper Fi!
Now, fix. That dang right eyelash! ;-)
Love your review presentation syle. I’ll also cast votes for DA/SA and performance center models in case there’s anyone taking a tally 👍
Thank you!!!
Amazing gun, I love mine. Only complaint, when magazines are loaded to capacity, super hard to load into frame. I don’t want to force the 10 round magazine, so I consider it a 9 round capacity.
I have the same issue with my Shield Plus. Even if I’m successful cramming that last possible round into the mag, racking the slide under that tension is not for the weak.
Thank you for this video Julie!!! I have the Shield M 2.0 with the integrated laser, Bodyguard with the integrated laser, and .380 EZ (wife’s gun). I’m really considering the CSX, so it was awesome to see the size comparison between the very same pistols that I currently own. Thank you for that!👊🏾😎
my pleasure!
I'm a hammer-fired fan 😍 I want this pistol badly! S & W hit a home run! Metal frame, light crisp trigger, great size to capacity ratio! I'm in love!
Yay!
Kudos for finally making metal framed, hammer fired guns again. Now give us the updated CS9, CS45 and 3913 that we have been askng for. For two decades now. Thanks!
Yes, side by side comparison please. I'm already sold on the CSX but still want to see the size comparison. Thanks!
I'll see what I can do!
As a big fan of Smith & Wesson, I am intrigued. I can see this being an interesting piece to carry and experiment with in a 2.0 version in the .30 Super Carry from Federal, and will likely be my first / only buy in that caliber and in this weapon as an experiment with upgraded sights and (presumably) capacity. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, James!
Thanks 😭 was hoping for a cal compliant one
Sorry!
Thanks for the comparisons. CSX is a lot smaller than I thought.
It really is!
It be nice if it come out and 40 cal Round it’s my favorite and you thank it would come out considering Smith and Wesson makes the round would be nice I have an MNP shield 40 with probably close to 40,000 rounds through it without a hiccup 0 problems Would trust that gun with my life
I love my CSX! Just trying to find some tritium sights in stock.
Great job, Julie!
Thanks!
While I love my Shield Plus, I wish I’d known the CSX was coming down the road. I really am looking forward to checking one out...even though I probably won’t be able to get one now. Tough on retiree fixed income budget!
Totally understand!
I wish they would have carried the scalloped slide serrations of the M&P over to the CSX. I prefer those to the standard straight cut serrations. Still, it is an intriguing firearm and on my to do list.
I hope you get to track one down!
I have owned 2 Shields, the last one because it was $350 new. I sold both because it takes a 400 Lb gorilla to rack them. I am almost persuaded on the CSX. I can get a Sig P320 for $500 new with night sights. The CSX is $550.
I’m a little late the game. I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but I just wanted to check in something. Some revolvers have transfer bar safeties to prevent the hammer from igniting the round if the trigger isn’t pulled. This helps to minimize the risk of negligent discharge if the hammer snags on something or if someone tries to manually cock the hammer and slips and lets it go. Does this SA have a similar safeguard? I’m a fan of your shooting. I didn’t realize that you posted videos like this as well. You do great job with your videos. Very engaging and informative.
Omg Julie that’s a lot of toys
Look at all that hardware on shelves. Damn!
Offering two caliber options right from the get go would have appealed to more shooters. 9mm and .40 S&W would have been awesome. Right now bigger calibers, like 10mm, are selling like crazy.
I really like the CSX. It’s a modern version of the Colt Mustang with better features, more capacity in a much more powerful cartridge. But, I’ll be waiting for an optics ready version. That would make this gun just about perfect. I hope I’m not making a mistake by waiting for something that’s not coming though.
Mega kudos on having a safety AND being fully ambidextrous
Hey julie. Thanks for the info. How well do you shoot the new gun vs a shield ??
You said your trigger time is very limited. But your a pro. So your opinion is credible and interesting.
Looking forward to a full comparison soon!
Julie, I just got one this weekend! Thanks for your review, had to buy one as soon as I seen one in person. Few questions I have is where can I buy night sights for this? Have any come out yet? Last question is when can I buy spare magazines? I’d like to buy 2-3 of each type, 10 round, and 12 round mags. Thanks for all you do!
HI Jack. Hope you like it. As far as mags, those will be slower to market and right now I don't know of any aftermarket sights for the CSX. I'll look around. For mags, keep an eye out at Gun Mag Warehouse. Sorry I don't have more info!
Mini 2011. I am on the way to buy one right now. (Yes, I am fully aware of the trigger)
Technically not a 2011 but it reminds people of that platform. Hope you find one and like it!
@@juliegolob I had already found one when I posted the comment. Took it out first time yesterday. I am a relatively decent handgun shooter and I was just not shooting this accurately at all. I am gonna run another hundred rounds through it this morning. But if accuracy does not improve, gonna have to let this one go.
CSX didn't review very well with the Yankee Marshall on you tube yesterday. You should send him one. Excited to see one in Ohio
Shrugs... there are certainly guns I don't prefer to others but I'm really enjoying this one so far. Can't wait to shoot more when it warms up and I get a couple more mags.
Not firearms related, although the CSX looks interesting ! But im loving your hats ! Cool vid Julie G !
Why thank you, Kelly!
Well done and so well spoken! I like how you don't try to make more of minor differences too.
Very well done, I liked the size comparisons. Geoff Who has a SWaMPy 9c and 380 EZ (age and arthritis will get you someday)
:) so happy you liked it.
Wow great review! We were looking at .380’s but didn’t like the snappiness of them. This might be the gun we’re are looking for as a deep conceal or pocket gun.
Hope you get to track one down to try!
@@juliegolob didn’t wait to try it. Bought one this morning. My wife liked the feel of it and knew I really like it as well. Great size to conceal. Can’t wait to take it to the range.
Scammer?
Have a 40 S&W semi and a 357 magnum revolver, but this was the one that made me want to get a 9mm. Unfortunately, I live in California, but am hoping court cases do away with the Roster. If the dovetails for the sights matched the Shield Series, XS sights would fit (hint, hint).
Is Smith and Wesson going to address the trigger freeze issue? A revised parts kit would be lovely. And yes I have personally experienced it multiple times.
I know you touched on it a bit, but (if it’s ok) I would like to see a more detailed comparison between the csx and the shield plus, including specific dimensions, how each shoots, etc. I’m trying to decided which one I want to get cuz I want something new for my edc.
I'll see if I can put a video together for you!
@@juliegolob I’d second this please. Hopefully you have a set of calipers around to tell us about widths and lengths.
I’m really really interested in one of these too!
30 super carry, then I will look into it, until then I will keep my shield plus...
Shield Plus is a GREAT pistol
I'd love to get your perspective on the federal 30 super carry. Let's talk about that!
Video this week!
@@juliegolob Looking forwrd to it!
Yes! Side by side comparisons to the other S&W pistols.
I know some people are complaining about the apparent lack of grip surface on the CSX, but (not having handled one, yet) it seems to me that most of what's needed to stabilize a gun is on a grip's front and rear surfaces, to counteract muzzle rise, not the area left bare on the CSX. I don't believe this CSX will replace my Shield Plus, but I'd be interested in a compact-size (3.7" - 4" barrel) version.
Exactly. It has texturing in the right places and I like the look, though full texture would be fine too. Would be an issue with the smaller backstrap I suppose
I like that fast shot-to-shot recovery, it says a lot about the engineering of the CSX. Looking forward to a take-down video; the main complaint I've heard, repeatedly, from M&P owners is needing three hands for disassembly!
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching, David!
I'd like to see the CSX line expand to 380 and 30 super carry. I hope we see these in the future.
Me too!
I was shopping for a Shield Plus until I watched this. I love a hammer S/A
Hope you get to check on out :)
@@juliegolob They are no doubt hard to get right now. I don't like waiting . Lol. Love your helpful , knowledgeable and fun videos .
Being a ‘Boomer’ this pistol has been enjoyable in many ways. While not a 1911 type handgun, it does have some elements that evoke that style. And it’s almost identical in size and weight to the Walther PPk/s (one of my historical favorites) while holding more rounds of a more potent cartridge. Great gun for sure and mine has been flawless for several hundred rounds of factory, self defense and reloaded ammo.
Glad to hear it!!! I think it would make a great Bond gun :)
The CSX is much like my first pistol S&W 3913 Tactical all metal barely any larger than the Shield but smaller than the 9c. Although the 3913 is double/single action and 3 lb trigger right out of the box but 7 rd. Still a desired carry gun today and still sells for higher than buying new against the M&P. Now being born with hand deficits and accumulating injuries caused by Stiff Person Disease at times I can't utilize my 06/07 Shield so by necessity I am considering something easier but not any larger than the shield. Love all metal pistols and the CSX just might work. With my hands a safety is a must especially to holster. Add the SPS disease and lesser reach I have makes holstering the top concern, safety on, holster, make sure trigger is clear and safety off. I must have the external safety but those wide toggle safties on the compact and up switch too easily while the wide toggles on the Shield EZ seem more positively set. I had to alter them for the 9c I carry at times because I must have them. Hope the CSX works well enough for me. Love my Shield! One last comment. I've gone without a concealed carry for two weeks once which is why I bought the Shield. I bought the 9c as a backup carry so I never hath to go without again while making the 9c the home defense pistol. The 3913 Tactical is too special to me to carry.
For take down, I’ve found the best tool is a golf tee. No chance to slip and mar finish. S&W should mention to use a golf tee in manual as non marring tool.
That's an OUTSTANDING idea. I'm going to have to find one.
i have a hat just like yours,lol gun is nice also
Awesome!
The most beautiful shooter and firearms reviewer: Julie Golob 😍❤😘
You're always too kind, German
@@juliegolob I am truly sincere. You are a dreamy goddess 🥰
Julie, the biggest complaint I have been hearing about the CSX is about the “false” trigger reset. Has anything been changed on that or are they even looking in to it? As a competition shooter yo must have an opinion about it? Keep up your awesome work!!
Personally, I think people get too wrapped up in trigger reset. If you're a competition shooter with the goal to shoot as fast as possible or if you're a shooter who only uses one brand with all the same triggers/same size grip, reset is more often more important to you. I don't worry about it. Why? I shoot everything from AR's to revolvers, single-action to striker-fired pistols. One sure fire way to pin the trigger or cycle the cylinder on a loaded chamber (wheel gun) is to ride the reset. The more guns you shoot, the more grips you handle, the more variation in triggers -- all these things make you instead focus on a speedy return and a good prep for the next shot, not the auditory or even "feel" of a reset. You can certainly have excellent and controlled shot-to-shot splits while not fixated on a reset point. As for the CSX. this grip is also very small and the trigger reach is short. In fact, it may even be too small a pistol for someone with really large hands who may not have enough dexterity in their fingers to even ride a reset that close to the palm of their hand. You have much more control over how you move your trigger finger when it's not curved too far toward your palm. Finally, after shooting their CSX's, many people don't notice the "false reset" anymore. Maybe it works its way out, maybe they just learn how to shoot the trigger.
@@juliegolob thanks! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks as you! Like you I fired so many different firearms that I found as long as I don’t “slap” the trigger in what ever action I can shoot just as straight.. Keep up the great work!
wow, What beautiful hair !!!
Thank you!!
Here’s a question I have been unable to find an answer for that someone posed to me: when did S&W revise the safety plunger in the rear of the slide from the black plastic piece to the white nylon part with the improved profile on the engagement surface?
Thank you. Do you know if there are any plans of a 9mm DA/SA carry option with double stack magazines?
That I don't know, sorry!
I carry a Sig p365 and I have to say I find this CSX to be a nice gun I just don't know if it is worth switching !
Hope you get to handle one!
It feels good in my hand but didn't shoot it yet. I have the P365 too and this CSX looks great to me. I'm also left handed so this really piqued my interest.
@@BloodySoup74 stick with the p365 g go or edc. If you get this one, it’s just an extra, definitely not worthy as a replacement.
ok so now what do i do with my shields i only have 4 of them 9mm cuz i want those i wanted the shields with a hammer? lol I like your collection of Smith and Wesson.
Get more? LOL. Thanks!
