Boresight Solutions

surprised me with their CSX-E. Normally only polymer frame Smiths and a J frame or two appear in our inventory. But when I first encountered a CSX-E, I was intrigued.

It feels good in the hand and points naturally. The thumb safety could be a bit wider, but it’s in the right place and easy to sweep off on the draw especially if you’ve spent any amount of time with a 1911. It points neutral/natural making the sights align almost on their own.

The SA trigger pull is short and breaks on the heavy side, but is improving the more rounds I put through it.

Recoil is softer than other guns in this size category, and also the slide is easier to rack than a lot of pistols. It comes with a variety of interchangeable backstraps to achieve the ideal fit, as well as 3x mags holding 12x 15, and 17 rounds respectively. Shown with 12 rounder seated, and 17 rounder in the mag holder.

My only gripes with the CSX-E are that you lose the rear sight if you mount an optic (I shoot this well enough with irons and I want to keep it small, so I probably won’t put an optic on it); I wish the thumb safety were a hair wider for more positive disengagement at speed; and I wish the trigger break was lighter and cleaner. Other than that, I think it’s a pretty dynamite little carry piece.

There don’t seem to be many holster options out there for it, but has it covered.

Custom isn’t cookie-cutter.

Custom is personal, tailored to the client.

Each of our custom frame packages is sculpted by hand, freehand, one at a time. No jigs or templates or lasers.

This Duty Series G19 frame received a Short Grip Mod 2 (19 to 26 spec), Razorback palm swell mod (you see that mod everywhere now, but Boresight Solutions pioneered and named it), Integral Speed Ramp, and Trigger Guard Memory Groove (secondary undercut).

…you dropped something…

If you have an optic on your sidearm or carbine, and don’t feel like lugging around a tool kit, you need a NANO and/or NANO2. I keep both on my shop keychain, and I use them on our own projects and on walk-in customers’ guns many times every day. And unlike tools and gadgets from huge faceless corporations who mass produce “stuff” via committee, these tools are conceived and made by my brilliant friend Shane Keng. NANOs are available at select retailers. Get yours on our website…or if you’re local, stop by
