In January 2022, Smith & Wesson introduced a micro-compact pistol featuring an aluminum alloy frame—the CSX. Since its release, Smith & Wesson has refined its design, implemented upgrades, and incorporated additional features to elevate the platform to new heights. Smith & Wesson is excited to launch the next evolution in the CSX line—the CSX E-Series.

Although these pistols remain aluminum-alloy-framed micro-compacts, they feature significant design upgrades that are hard to overlook. Available in four 9 mm configurations, consumers can now choose between a 3.1” or 3.6” barrel, two models that include 12, 15 and 17-round magazines, as well as two 10-round compliant variants. CSX E-Series pistols are also optics-ready and utilize an RMS-C/507K footprint. Due to this added feature, these pistols now include Smith & Wesson’s ClearSight cut, designed to strategically divert gasses away from the optic lens, leaving an unobstructed view.

Built with versatility in mind, the CSX E-Series utilizes a new modular grip adapter that allows the user to size down their frame for deep concealment or size up for better handling and increased capacity. They also boast an enhanced trigger that has a light, clean break, improved reset, and straighter pull to the rear, to aid in accuracy. Additional features include interchangeable backstraps, ambidextrous controls, standard white-dot sights, and a flat-black finished frame.

MSRP: $699.
