Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m 100% positive that happened exactly like this. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I won high overall in a local USPSA match shooting an open gun with no sights whatsoever. That included poppers and plate rack. When you shoot enough it gets easy. I’m 100% positive that happened exactly like this. I was pretty impressed with myself when I finished a polish spinner after my front sight fell off

 Smith & Wesson CSX 9mm 12+1 Single Action Hammer Fired Micro Compact Review, Features & Takedown Cat’s out of the bag! it’s deceptively small. Looks like Smith is doing their best impression of the P365. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: But why? The odd in-between of a Shield and M&P. It's no mystery to me. Carry guns are where all the volume is at. By giving more options within that category, that can obtain greater market share. There are certainly people out there that would prefer this over other options. They're not only competing with themselves, but everyone else too. Guns like the Sig P938 and Kimber Solo come to mind as competitors for this gun. I'm sure there's others. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yet another instance of, "what were they thinking". Not really. It gives people who prefer and carry single stack SAO's a higher capacity option. Why would you not want them to have a modern SAO if SAO was their preference? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's simply unacceptable as an every day carry gun without those things. I could make it work as is, but why? Maybe they plan to sell enough to the demographic who doesn't do lights and optics.

I know it seems completely illogical to some, but lots of people like plain guns. Now that we know the size it would still be nice to have a micro rail on it for a light but that’s about it. I wouldn’t throw an optic on this at all personally. |

Watching the videos now. I think this one moves into the "DO WANT" category for me.
I had been thinking about trying to find a CZ RAMI with the polymer frame, but they stopped making them. In fact, I think CZ stopped making the RAMI entirely. Seems like the CSX will be about the size of a Shield, but a little wider for the double-stack magazine. I'd probably want to get 2 of them, one to keep in the truck (truck is parked inside my closed garage when at home) and one to carry and have inside the house. |

I'm still waiting for my gen 1 Shield's safety to move on it's own. I remember that molehill turned into a mountain over gun culture toxic pessimism too. |

Hopefully Streamlight will come out with a TLR-6 housing like they did for the 43 that has no light rail. I should write an email or find their media pages and inquire

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a true 1911 trigger?? And so the reason to replace the Sig P365 or Springfield Hellcat except just to buy a new toy? I haven’t seen anything that indicates whether the trigger is or is not a true 1911 style. Everything so far still seems to indicate a straight-back pull, but nothing explicit yet. Unless you’ve seen something else you have a link to? |
