S&W CSX Range Report
- Thread starter Radny97
- Start date
Thought I’d give an update on my range report. I finally decided to call S&W about the accuracy issues. They told me that that kind of accuracy is NOT acceptable to them and they’re sending me a label to send it in and get the problem fixed. Seems like a pretty good response so far.

Was it the M&P that had accuracy issues on the fist gen first release. Following too
I've got one. I've put about 100 rounds? More or less anyway, all my reloads, mostly 115 grain Berry's Plated RN, with a double handful of various hollow points tossed in at random. No malfunctions. The trigger on mine breaks at 4.5-5.0 pounds. Accuracy is at worst, no worse than I normally shoot with a small gun. Sorry, I didn't measure groups. The safety feels good to me, going on and off with a nice solid "snick." The trigger safety hasn't been noticed at all.
The only complaint I had with it at first was the grips stippling was SHARP and almost painful to my soft "old man hands." I took a emery board and kind of hit the points just a tad, and didn't notice the problem the second time around.

WOW...at 15 yds...you need to send that pistol back to the mother ship. RodHowever, the best I could manage with the CSX was about 5 inches at 15 yards from a rest.

Yes it’s in their hands. I’ll update when they contact me with their diagnosis

Heard back from S&W just before the weekend. They confirmed that there was a problem with the barrel rifling being too shallow. They replaced the barrel for free, test fired and mailed it back. Should be in my hands tomorrow. I’ll get it to the range later this week and then report.

Accuracy was poor. After shooting a few groups and not seeing the groups I’m used to, I set up a rest and sat down and shot two 20 round groups with two different kinds of ammo. I’m an experienced competition shooter capable of 2 inch groups at 25 yards with the right handgun. However, the best I could manage with the CSX was about 5 inches at 15 yards from a rest. That’s pretty bad accuracy. Probably sufficient for any carry gun, but it’s certainly not a tack driver.
It's a relief to hear that the barrel was the culprit.
My lgs got one in the other day. Feels pretty good in the hand and the trigger wasn't bad. Not a fan of the safety(not the fact it has a safety, just found it a tad difficult to actuate with my thumb easily). I don't think they'll be making a rmr cut version due to a pin location in the top of the slide where the cut would need to be. They may make a plate that'll fit in the rear sight notch though.
