Hi Hickok45, The trigger freeze is due to the disconnector bar being a very roughly made part that is flat. The faulty disconnector is silver and has a very rough cut finish. They have revised this with a disconnector bar that is bowed, a smoother edge finish, and a black (possibly some type of Teflon coating?). This fixes the "stuck trigger" or "trigger freeze" issue. As for the bump that isnt the reset, that is due to the firing pin block pushing up against the disconnector. This means that the tolerance between the firing pin block location, angle, and spring pressure- does not match well with the disconnector bar. They can probably fix it with a redesigned firing pin block, or changing the engagement angle of the disconnector bar.
The trigger lockup is due to the original silver disconnector bar getting STUCK under the slide, so they bowed the new part to prevent the disconnector bar from "wiggling" towards the center of the firearm, causing it to jam under the slide.
Hello Raymond - without complete disassembly is there a way to tell if one has the updated (teflon coated) part?
@@hixnada8278 just pull your slide off and look.
Just picked one up today, wasn't sure if I was going to like it until I shot it, and I was pleasantly surprised how well it shoots and feels, low impulse compared to similar sized pistols...oh by the way mine doesn't have that weird double reset like his gun has, my reset is crisp and short and works perfect, I can shoot it fast with no problem
I read someplace that the firing pin plunger had something to do with it. I called Smith and tried to buy a new plunger and they told me to send in the gun for their inspection. Any idea what date yours was made on. Maybe that was corrected at some time after some date of mfg.I have one and would like to fix the problem. I did not see this before I bought mine. I like it other than the trigger situation.
Thanks To H45 for another great honest video.
Yeah they repaired the reset but once the Internet has decided that's it sadly. They're great now and can get em pretty cheap.
Even when he wakes and bakes,..he hits his targets..
God Bless
I am the proud owner of a new CSX. Initially, I had the same problem as you with the trigger. However, after about 500 rounds and 200 or 300 dry fires, the issue has completely disappeared. Not only has the false reset disappeared, but the trigger weight has gone for about 6 lbs out of the box, to 4.25 - 4.5 lbs on my scale. It’s just a break-in issue.
Thank you for all that you do for us. You are amazing!
Could be. This one has gotten better, as I experienced in the video. It still has that false reset, though. The part that seems to have gone away is that now I don't have to take my finger completely off the trigger in order to get it to reset. Also, early on, if I was tricked by the first false reset and tried to fire it, it created a situation where even if I totally released the trigger it would not fire. I had to recock the hammer or rack the slide again to get it to shoot, even though the hammer was still cocked. That seems to have gone away.
I shoot it again yesterday, and I'm going to put some more rounds though it. We'll hang onto it awhile and do a follow-up Chapter 2 video.
Good to know. Just got mine yesterday as a Valentines gift from hubby. Got to shoot one at our range and had no problems. But, I'm pretty new to shooting and didn't notice it. Do you think it's because I'm not as sensitive to the triggers? Or did I make a mistake in buying it?
Same here. Mine broke in after about 300 rounds and I'm able to fire it faster and hit a steel 12x15 plate than I can with my P365 because it's not as snappy with the recoil.
100% correct
I like this pistol better than their last attempt with a new firearm, the "New bullpup shotgun". Glad to see that S&W is moving to Blount County, Tennessee. It will be a great boost to our economy. I am hoping they will eventually bring the manufacturing of revolvers here too.
Memo to Massachusetts: S&W has been headquartered in your state since 1852. If you don't treat businesses good they will find a state that will. Congrats Tennessee.

"I was consciously (I try to be conscious when I'm shooting)..."
Hickok45 gold!
That Uplula loader is one of my favorite accessories when shooting.
Mine too. Never leave for the range without it. 😃
Same!!
Shot mine for the first time today with no issues. Was able to shoot quickly with it without any issues. My son also fired it without any issues including Rapid Fire. No trigger issues with mine. I absolutely loved shooting this pistol and I am glad I made the decision to buy. My new everyday carry.
I've had mine for about a month now, I don't mind a bit heavier trigger on a carry gun but it does get a lot lighter after a few hundred rounds. The "false reset" is something that works itself out (finger retraining) after a bit of range time.
"retraining" my finger might be okay if this is the only pistol I'm ever going to carry. I'd prefer that all my potential defensive pistols operate similarly and have similar sights.
@@hickok45 makes sense to me
@@hickok45 still loving the shield plus
I never saw that a 1911 needed a lighter trigger, I love the clean break on a standard weight trigger.
hickok45 I tend to fully release my finger off the trigger between shots anyway, and I like hammer fired guns. Add to that full ambidextrous controls out of the box, and I’m sold as a lefty.
I went deep into the internals of my CSX and polished all parts that rub together to smooth it out without shooting hundreds of rounds.
After careful inspection, I determined the so called "false reset" although there, was a result of what I will call the safety bar coming off the firing pin stop plunger (similar to the one found in a Glock). The bar snaps off the plunger and that manifests itself as a reset before the actual reset which happens when the trigger bar goes forward of the sear as the trigger is released.
I blocked the firing pin stop plunger in the depressed position which is the operational position it takes when the trigger is pulled rearward. This took the plunger completely out of the operational picture, put the slide back on and tested for the false reset. It was completely gone.
The spring under the plunger is quite robust which I think leads to the false reset feel as the safety bar that depressed the plunger in the first place slides off of it during normal reset.
Polishing components did help, but minor altering of the plunger did the most good. The false reset is mostly gone and the firing pin safety feature still does its job by not letting the firing pin go forward unless the trigger is pulled.
I hope there are some videos of how to do this soon ..
A perfect opportunity for you to make a first video on this. (Views and $$$)
Thanks
Just recently purchased this pistol and I absolutely love it. I have small hands and this fits perfectly in my hands. Although the trigger was a little weird with the reset after putting a few hundred rounds down range it appears it has works itself out.
I purchased this pistol and out of box had the same trigger issues. After shooting 300 rounds through it the false reset went way and it smooth out nicely.
it would take me 10 years to fire 300 rounds

I think that's his polite way of saying he very much dislikes the gun. Glad I waited to purchase.
@@Jon-ki2jf It's not terrible. It just seems to trip people up depending on whether they ride the reset or not. I've never been one to ride the reset, so it doesn't bother me. YMMV
Thanks hickock for being honest and honorable as always.
Just picked up the last one in South East Michigan ... so far no issues like all guns just needs a few cycles to get smothed out. Folks have to remember this is a Concealed carry weapon for self defense that can be carried at all times comfortably.
Granted it's not a $2000 Ruger for competition shooting, quality (life time warranty) and size, capacity 12 one in the tube, price make it a winner in my book.
Hickok never disappoints with the “dad” joke.. smoking a little pot. Nice shooting, interesting gun with all metal frame
After about 400 rounds fired through mine, the BARELY noticeable 'false reset' people are complaining about is completely gone. I absolutely adore my CSX and it has replaced my Glock 43 as my teeshirt weather carry pistol.
So you felt the false reset in the beginning?
What do you like about it better than the G 43
Honestly, I think the only reason I noticed it was because I saw youtube videos talking about it and making a big deal about it. When I got mine and and shot it, it honestly didn't affect my shooting in the least bit. And as I said, after a couple hundred rounds, the 'false reset' is completely gone. As far as what I like about it more than my Glock 43? And don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Glocks, I own several Glocks and I love them them and pretty mich always recommend a Glock to a first time handgun buyer. But, I like the CSX trigger more than my Glock 43. It feels better, breaks better, no sponge, which is obvious when comparing a hammer fired SAO to a striker fired pistol. The CSX is also slightly smaller or damn nearly equal size to the 43, but carries twice the capacity. Now I know that the average number of shots fired in a defensive shooting event is only 3 rounds, but if you can carry more in the same size package, why not? I know that it is highly subjective, but I feel like the CSX is softer shooting and snaps far less than my 43 as well and I can make faster follow up shots, again, that is subjective.
I know that some popular RUclipsrs have had complaints about the CSX, but so far, I LOVE mine and I would tell folks to actually shoot one themselves so they can form their own opinion on it.
I have it and the Glock 43. The capacity in the 43 is the limiter for it.
Yeah I’m thinking about replacing the G3c for this. You have any experience with the Taurus to offer a comparison with the CSX?
@@philrichjr The CSX is smaller, lighter, and has a FAR nicer trigger than the G3C I shot. I would not even remotely think of carrying a G3C instead of my CSX. Ever.
Just picked one up this weekend at a gunshow in PA...Out of almost 500 tables, found 1 vendor with one..Great vid as always and can't wait to get a few hundred rounds through it..
Nice! Want one of these, but I think I can hold off for a Gen 2.
You are going to love it
A shield and a 1911 had a baby!
Absolutely no problem with reset shooting mine. Run 300 rounds through it.
I think it’s a great pistol. Comfortable and fun to shoot.
Makes 2 of us. Mine hasn't had the issue with a false reset at all.
@@1quick86 I've seen some posts from owners saying that their guns had the false reset but it went away after a few hundred rounds. I wonder if maybe it was just a really early production thing and we've just seen it in reviews a lot since youtubers etc. got the first guns off the line.
@@max_archer I don't really feel it on mine and just spent 2 hours picking the pistol apart trying to sort out what people are fussing over. I think it's a pair of parts that will wear together fairly quickly (sear and trigger bow).
@@max_archer 1st gen folks. Many gun buyers wait.
300 rds lol. You’ve really rung it out
I like how he says things like “that’s not why you came out here” and “it’s getting late and y’all gotta get outta here”. Like yessir, thank you for having me sir. 🤣
Mine broke after 15 rounds, failure in the slide that a lot of the earlier ones had, but got a new slide put on after sending back to the factory and it’s a wonderful pistol now. Accurate at a pretty insane range, it’s lighter than my Taurus G2C is and smaller overall. I haven’t had an issue with false resets.
My dad Carries a s&w shield , we went to a gun show this weekend for Father’s Day and he found the csx. Instantly he loved it.
In my opinion, I think the trigger issue is that since it’s a slight 1911 style pistol, and I mean slight, but I think most are expecting a plunger style trigger, hell it even looks as if it is a plunger trigger, but it’s a swivel or hinge trigger, which pulls and resets different, but I have found that it’s actually a short pull from the wall, and slightly more to reset, I think it’ll work itself out the more rounds you put through, practice with the gun you’re going to carry, great feeling little gun, very nice package
It does not have a hinge trigger.
Hickok 7 million subscribers ! Seems like only yesterday, when the number was 2.5 million ! Hickok should be in the movies. Minor role as armorer, shooting instructor, confidant with major stars like Stallone, Statham or Wahlberg. If anyone is familiar with The Shooter and the role played by Levon Helm you know what I am talking about. God Bless you Sir !
Competition shooters seem to ride the reset more than regular folks. The trigger reportedly needs a break in and then reset and pull settle in nicely. Would love you to run 300 to 500 rds through it and then give another opinion. Love your input as always.
I have one and got about 250 rounds thru it and the trigger is fine. U can shoot fast with it also.

Agreed. And not only is S&W not "late to the game", they were actually "first to the game"(in a sense) with the original shield. At least in terms of the "modern" microcompact 9mms.

Never thought I would see a false reset trigger on a auto loader like we do with revolvers.

Cool gun, stoopid trigger. I see aftermarket triggers for this one...
why aren’t you verified?
Great and very objective review. Hickok45 always not only entertains but informs!
10:45 "I try to be conscious when I'm shooting". great way to go about life Sir!
I picked up one of these yesterday and ran close to 200 rounds through it today. I have seen several videos where folks had issues with the mags being hard to load, swelling and not dropping free and a lot of false resets on the trigger. I had no issues whatsoever with mine. Mags loaded easily and inserted without a sharp blow and there were no false resets even with rapid fire. It may be that since it has been out for a year the quality control is better, the internals may receive a little polishing from the factory, and the magazine followers are being installed correctly. The most important things are accuracy was very good and I experienced no failures of any kind. I will feel very comfortable using this for my EDC gun. It weighs about half of one of my 1911's and has a higher capacity. What's not to like?
Worth consideration for me, you have to love an exposed hammer. Kimber keeps me out of the Glock shop but S&W might have something I really like here. I will view more reviews but I do appreciate your time, experience, and this particular upload. Keep on!
So many cool new guns and no ammo to shoot them with
None that many can afford to do much target shooting.
If your wanting practice ammunition there is plenty of ball ammo in stock, if not in your area it is online.
@@jaydunbar7538 ridiculously over priced
Love mine. Just disappears in my holster--much easier than my P365--I think it's the lack of flex, which I usually don't prefer--it's a great grip--perfect for my hand and makes me shot better today I usually do. And- mine has broken in--initially very tight slide release. Great piece. Love you Hickock. The Mr. Rogers of guns!
The tight mags are sometimes caused by the spring not properly seated in the follower. Specifically the 10 rnd mag.
"Another micro 9...just what we needed". Hickok is priceless.

Excellent video. I would really like a pistol with these features, but that false reset would drive me nuts. Hopefully there will be a V2 or Performance Center version soon.
My wife is a lefty and has been wanting a micro 9, this is perfect! All the other micro 9s I see on the market are right hand only.
I must say that bullseye at the beginning was nice but I was more impressed with the camera work to zoom in right on it like “you see that” Getting real good with that camera and it shows
TBF TV channel mentioned about the “false reset” on the trigger but once they got used to it they really liked it. A lot of ppl were dumping on the M&P bodyguard 380’s trigger but I absolutely love it and it’s my EDC. Forming opinions on new products is healthy but I’ll reserve mine until I’m able to handle one. I’m kinda excited about this handgun though
Same
I have the smith and wesson csx and I love it
The bottom pin on the trigger is rubbing on the frame causing the rest problem. I could see in your video that it is shiny from rubbing on the inside of the frame.
I like the bodyguard and have no problem with the trigger but I also shoot DA revolvers and am familiar with a DA action. I would like S&W to make 9mm version or a da/sa 9mm.
I own oneand got 250 rounds thru it. And i love the pistol.
This man needs to live forever
I came for CSX Railroad, and I come upon this...
and it was just as good!
I never thought I'd hear Hickok say that's enough shooting!!
I’m really starting to like this pistol. Just what I need another micro 9.
Keep up the good work Mr. Hickok.
Thank you for the input! I was actually checking that model out recently while up in gatlinburg, glad I did not get it!. Hey by the way it was so cool to be able to hear you on the radio I don’t know what fm channel it was. But you’re always informative and funny.
A fair review as always with Hickok, I too am not a fan of a manual safety on a carry gun. Should the SHTF? I want to be able to just draw and fire. I also 'prefer' a double action carry gun, revolver or semi-auto. And THAT is why that there ice cream parlor makes all them flavors. there's something for everyone.
Thanks @hickok45 I was thinking about trying one out this weekend. I don’t think we should adjust to a firearm either. Finding one that fits our style is more important.
Would be nice to see DA/SA options in that size and capacity
My thoughts exactly really. Can’t believe they would come THAT CLOSE to my ideal carry pistol and then put an SAO only trigger on it. Oh so close
I'd love a slimmed down CZ Rami
+1 ! on Decocker DA/SA
I just recently purchased one. And I do not have a problem with the reset. I think you guys are over hyping it. I absolutely love your videos but I would highly recommend this gun. Probably 99% people do not shoot off that small reset. The trigger is light to me and I cannot even hear a false reset. I absolutely love this pistol!
Yep, we're just making it up. Don't have much else to do in my life, so I thought I'd create some nonexistent problems with a firearm. :-)
Clicks and bangs both being the loudest thing is true, good review as always Hickok
It's always a pleasure to follow your videos, thanks for the good work!
Kel-Tec started it all, i"ll never get rid of mine. a single-double action can"t be beat.

Thank you so much for this review I was looking for an off-duty concealed carry and was very tempted to purchase this but I'll be patient and keep my eye on it thanks again
Initially I like the looks of it overall, but the way you describe it, it could be the S&W sigma all over again, a decent pistol that could be improved upon in the near future. I enjoy your videos, take care!
Can't wait till it's available in Canada. Wish I can have one. Heard great things about it
Great little gun definitely been waiting a long while for this it’s perfect copy of the 938 double the compacity
Exactly why I purchased. Bad reviews on the 938 good reviews on the CSX.
This man said "Advise we start with smoking a little pot. I really need to." Bro, I love this man.
I've never been a fan of the Shield, but I had a chance to handle a CSX. Feels pretty good in the hand.
I think all of the new micro 9's have really tight magazine springs. I have loaders and my Hellcat came with one but I didn't bring it to the range. You get a real thumb workout. My kids wanted to help and couldn't get past 3 rounds.
They do my shield plus and P365 10 rd mags are tough. The 12rd not so bad and the sig 15 rd is good
The Smith Shield series is like that. Magazine loaders are a must.
@@KonaLife You're right about that! Loaders are almost a must with the shield. I use the Uplula for it and the Springfield EMP as well.
No problemo with the EZ!!
As someone who just got into the gun industry, I hope that I can be half the shooter that Hickok is. And just 1/4 of the legend that he is will be fine too.
The pot smoking joke never dies lol
As far as the full mags are difficult to insert, if you first rack the slide open and then use the slide stop, you can then easily insert either mag. Of course, doing so might be a reason to use the thumb safety.
we love ya hickok. you're in my top 5 favorite youtubers
I'll wait for the Performance Center version with Hi-Viz Sights

Waited for Covid and all the panic buying to cool down before I bought one I finally got one for pre Covid pricing recently for my birthday and it’s probably the nicest concealed pistol I own

I didn't hear you mention any over travel (creep).
I would be very interested to know if there was any.

I wish Sig would come out with a double stacked 938 that carries 12 + 1
I’ve been hoping for that! 938 is my favorite…
I'm going to say it depends on when you reset the trigger as to whether or not you feel that false reset. If you release the trigger during recoil, you won't feel it because the trigger disconnector is pulled downward by the slide so the trigger bow is completely away from the sear. If you release it after recoil when the slide is forward, you will feel it because the top corner at the heel of the trigger bow sort of 'clicks' against the bottom toe of the sear - but the trigger bow hasn't quite come around and slid back up to engage the sear until the second more pronounced click. I think* these two parts will wear together over time, or a competent smith should probably be able to polish and round the 2 edges so they slide more smoothly without any false clicks.
1911 the trigger slides as one straight back, the csx looks like a 1911 trigger but pivots like a conventional trigger, it has a little bit of play due to the linkage around the mag, and the false reset can catch yea, but all in all a great gun
This gun is everything I want in a micro 9mm if only it had night sights it would be perfect
Yeah I wish SW would just use trijicon sights or trijicon styled sights from the factory. Save me $100 every time I buy another SW.
I’ve been very happy with my Smiths either revolver or auto loader on or off duty for almost 40 years. Is this sort of a “9 EZ” (akin to my 380 Ez)? Looks very light to rack. I do note the metal frame and Faux 1911 features. Interesting weapon.
It is very 1911-like. Similar sear and hammer, half a 1911 trigger bow. I like the little fella. Haven't held an EZ model to compare it to.
It’s not as light of an action as the EZ but it’s not as bad as some micro 9s
Carried DA revolvers for 30+ years on duty and since there is no reset with a wheel gun there is no problem with semi-autos.
Options are nice, especially with a trigger like that
Been watching your video sir since you first started. You are mighty impressive because you haven't missed the beat sir. Much love from Washington state.
Thanks for the video Hickok. Helped me save a little money. Think I’ll go with the Shield PLUS instead of this route. A disappointment on the CSX IMO. Thanks again for sharing!
I have the Shield Plus and it is my go to carry and truck gun. Shoots great and very accurate for me
This certainly sounds like a case of a trigger designed by lawyers not shooters. It clearly brings a whole new meaning to the phrase keep your finger off the trigger.......
Rented a csx yesterday along with a p365 and the hellcat. Brought with my p238 and my 43x to compare all together. The csx trigger is absolutely horrendous. I can't believe they would release such product. The p365 followed us home.

@Dartgame 340 But for now I ain't the danger, I am in danger as I live in a tyrannical country!!! 😢😢😢
I REALLY enjoy your channel sir. I am looking to purchase the CSX... however, in all honesty, I was NOT trained many years ago to hold my finger on that trigger for the reset. Of course I was brought up with the Colt 1911, 45... I do own a S&W Sheild in the .40 caliber and I LOVE it... so I tend to shoot by taking my finger SLIGHTLY off the trigger. I am going to shoot this pistol at my local gun range by renting it first and see how it goes. Thank you as always for your very informative videos. Take care sir. Steve in Colorado
I think you got it, I think what ppl are calling false reset is the trigger bar coming off the plunger safety. It makes a little noise and you can feel it.
Was hoping for a comparison to the SIG P938 as they are both metal frame single action micros, how do you think they stack up and which do you prefer Hickok45?
Wish I could shot half as good as HICKOK45.
He’s unreal.
I’d love to see him Star in a remake of
Quigley Down Under .
it's a awesome weapon, I was looking at a csx for conceal carry, but it only comes in single action, so I bought a CZ.
I understand the whole (only single action because it's so small) explanation but it was a deal breaker for me
1911 concepts will never die! Anxious to hold one of these at a store…🤔
We got one in our shop today, finally! Feels sweet! Yup, I bought it. I love 2nd & 3rd gen Smiths. This fits into that category sorta.
Feels good I held it then bought it, even with my bear paws
Get rid of the safety. Fix the mag & trigger issues. Make it a SA/DA trigger. Then I might buy one. Glocks are made fun of a lot but they are the standard by which all EDCs are judged on. When I pull my 43x, it is ready to go boom. No safety, no failing trigger, no hard to inject mag, & nothing to get snagged on by clothes. It’s not purdy, but it just works. In a stressful life threatening situation, the Glock wins. Great video btw. Very informative. I was wondering on getting one of these but I’ve made my mind up.
From my point of view and my experience, it is a very reliable pistol, they have wanted to give it a bad name because of its trigger, do not pay attention to them, a very good pistol
Tried 3 different guns at gun shops. Its a single action with a terrible trigger.
When Smith fixes the 8lb trigger Id be interested.
