About the Smith & Wesson CSX E-Series
The Smith & Wesson CSX E-Series is a subcompact semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, introduced by Smith & Wesson in 2025. The pistol features a aluminum alloy frame and a stainless steel slide, providing a durable platform designed for years of reliable service in both duty and civilian applications. With a magazine capacity of 17 rounds, this pistol offers ample firepower for defensive applications. The striker-fired action delivers a consistent trigger pull for every shot, reducing training complexity and providing reliable ignition. With a 3.6-inch barrel, this pistol balances concealability with ballistic performance, providing near-optimal velocity and a practical sight radius for accurate shot placement. At 667g (23.5 oz) unloaded, this lightweight pistol is well-suited for daily concealed carry without causing fatigue over extended periods of wear. Smith & Wesson's semi-automatic pistol designs draw on over 170 years of firearms manufacturing expertise, combining proven engineering principles with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver reliable, accurate handguns trusted by military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters worldwide.
Smith & Wesson has been manufacturing firearms in Springfield, Massachusetts since 1852, making them one of the oldest and most respected names in the American firearms industry, with their revolvers and pistols serving in virtually every major conflict and law enforcement agency worldwide.
