Recently picked up a used CSX at my buddies shop. Ordered an AIWB for it from c&g holsters.
Trying to come up with a reason to not start carrying it.  Ran 115 fmj, 124 fmj as well as 200rds of
147gr HST through it. No issues at all. From the draw this little guy just comes right up and point naturally.
Ordered a set of CS R3D sights for it. Sights should be here by the end of the week.  Once I put them on
I will get out back and see how I like them. I expect I will. At that point I will probably start carrying it.  Been carrying an Sig 365x with a Radian Ram Jet set up for a while now. This little CSX just disappears when I put it on and shoots so dam well.
Wanted to see if anyone else is carrying one, if so, any issues etc.  thanks in advance.  Stay safe.

I have a CSX. I am happy with it.

Only real issue I have had is I find the safety accidentally disengaged sometimes. I pay more attention to it, and carry in quality Kydex, so I'm not super concerned.

Just swapped out the factory sights with a set of XS sights, damn what a difference.  
Going to head out back and get them dialed in tomorrow.

XS sights make a world os difference.  Picked up 2 extra mags, 15rd and 17rd just to keep in the truck.
This thing is a blast to shoot. Points really well for me.  Definitely going to grad another one soon.  Might get the 3.6” E series.

The 3.6 CSX-E, is my daily carry. Its actually one of the pistols I shoot the best. Comfortable and easy to carry. Not one.complaint. I put it with the 12 round mag in my fanny pack when i jogging. I put it in a holster with the 15 round to carry all day long.

Ordered a 3.6” today. So old school tagging.

My son and I picked up CSX E yesterday.   3.1”.  Very noticeable improvements from the standard CSX that I already have.  Definitely my new summer/ hot weather carry.  Thinking about getting the 3.6” as well, maybe to replace my 365.

Picked up Amy 3.6” yesterday. The trigger is pretty heavy. My trigger pull gauge maxes out at 8 pounds and it is heavier than that. The pull is clean and the reset is distinct.

I’ve got an email in to S&W to see what they say about the weight.

Customer service told me to send my back. They didn't give any details on what an acceptable pull weight would be.

I just dropped it with FedEx this morning. The waiting game begins.

Hope they get it back to you quickly. Sucks when there are any issues with a new gun, any gun for that matter.

It's a great little gun.

Got mine back from S&W yesterday. The trigger was still over 8 pounds. The service ticket said replaced trigger and test fired. I don’t think they actually did anything.

Took it to the range and it functioned fine, but the trigger made it very blah. Heavy and gritty.

I tore it down to the frame when I got home. The trigger bar was really rough. I polished the trigger bar, sear, and trigger pin. It’s a lot smoother now and around 6.5 pounds.

Anybody know where to start for a replacement hammer spring? I’d like to try clipping a  couple of coils.

I really like my CSXE. Pocket carries it at church this morning. My trigger is smooth and the gun is accurate. Sorry you are having issues with yours.
