While this shows a byline of one of your regular writers, it reads like an S&W press release, leaving me to wonder if the writer actually wrote any of it, or simply posted an actual press release from Smith & Wesson. If written by Shooting News Weekly, it’s about as unctuous as it gets, and not the sort of thing regular readers expect from SNW. Rather, we expect objectivity.

In reply to Christopher Bishop. The CSX does look better than the Shield Plus. I view the Shield Plus as utilitarian. I have the Performance Center version that had a nice trigger, the auto ports, and reliability out of the box. It also has a longer sight radius which matters on a small gun if you don't use optics.

In reply to top secret. The CSX was not poo pooed bye all, it offers an alloy frame which many consumers prefer. Not all people are enamored to the Glock plastic brick and Smith is listening to consumer feedback

S&W missed their chance by naming it the CSX when it’s not a railgun. Are people even buying these? Most I’ve heard is that the trigger sucks for a SAO, the reliability isn’t great, and parts and holster availability isn’t great compared to the Shield Plus that’s the same exact size and capacity. “Modular grip adapter” aka a magazine sleeve.
