1
00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:20.160
the

2
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:24.510
the guys can be here with an

3
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:27.480
outdoors and today's review i'm reviewing the

4
00:00:27.494 --> 00:00:29.430
smith and weston east series c s

5
00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:31.800
x pistols with the micro compact carry

6
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.960
gun this version specifically is the three

7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.730
point six inch model gun they also

8
00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:37.710
have a three point one and mine

9
00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:40.290
is optics ready so first thing

10
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.120
smith wasn't as a great presentation as

11
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.140
they do ship it in a very

12
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.730
nice box and we'll talk about the

13
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:47.010
accessories that it comes with but spending

14
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:47.940
wasn't here to i don't know if

15
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.740
you noticed they actually moved near mean

16
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:51.810
in tennessee so they're down admirable which

17
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:52.980
is awesome we love to have them

18
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:55.650
down here so csx pistol is is

19
00:00:55.650 --> 00:00:56.850
going to be a carry gun right

20
00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:59.370
and what's really neat with the accessories

21
00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:00.480
that smith and wesson ships

22
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.490
a gun with is you have different

23
00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:05.850
modular grips so right now this hell

24
00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:08.280
comes standard and the options for magazines

25
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.110
are the twelve fifteen and seventeen round

26
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:11.490
magazines so we have a twelve round

27
00:01:11.490 --> 00:01:13.920
in here if we change out this

28
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.780
modular grip we're going to extend the

29
00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:18.690
grip and title the backstrap essentially and

30
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:20.640
that actually will allow us to move

31
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.940
up to the larger size magazines because

32
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:25.380
right now so we take out twelve

33
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:25.980
for example

34
00:01:27.838 --> 00:01:29.310
fifteen it looks a little awkward you

35
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:31.440
know what's really great is you can

36
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:32.580
change us out depending on your hand

37
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:33.780
size if you have a little bit

38
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.460
beef your size i actually think i

39
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.900
would size up to this and you

40
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:38.040
can do that or if you know

41
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.080
this fits you comfortably and yet maybe

42
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:42.120
a carry gun for a woman or

43
00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:43.290
you know some of the smaller hands

44
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.750
that's actually pretty pretty good design and

45
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:47.130
what's great about the texture for smith

46
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:47.280
and why

47
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.020
lesson is this a little bit more

48
00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:51.720
aggressive but all of this texture is

49
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:54.300
smooth with your carry position being like

50
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:56.190
appendix or four o'clock but when you

51
00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:57.510
start to really grip onto the gun

52
00:01:57.690 --> 00:01:59.520
that texturally sits nice in your hand

53
00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:00.930
so at the recall you know is

54
00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:02.250
not terrible you can hold onto the

55
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.530
gun but you're not getting that abrasion

56
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.700
when you're actually carrying it on your

57
00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:07.350
body and then the other thing

58
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:09.450
for you lefties out there is smith

59
00:02:09.450 --> 00:02:11.130
and wasn't actually ships as with a

60
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:13.920
different magali so right now it's set

61
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:15.900
up for a right handed person dropping

62
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:17.850
back whatever but you can swap out

63
00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:19.200
and go for the left side which

64
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.210
will make it really great for different

65
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:22.530
people depending on what they've got going

66
00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:25.290
on so a couple of things i

67
00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:26.970
actually did test this on the gun

68
00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:27.360
range

69
00:02:27.630 --> 00:02:29.970
with different types of ammunition from ninety

70
00:02:29.970 --> 00:02:31.800
grain to one fifteen to one twenty

71
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.840
fours all the ammo i tested through

72
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.060
it was hollow point jacket whole point

73
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.280
the soft copper whole point and it

74
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.900
all performed flawlessly i didn't have any

75
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:42.660
malfunctions any jams any anything wrong with

76
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:43.980
it which was great and the groups

77
00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:45.360
were pretty solid for a three point

78
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.860
six inch barrel you're not gonna have

79
00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:47.760
a ton of accuracy

80
00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:49.200
the sight radius can only go so

81
00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:50.820
far but i'll show you my target

82
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:52.260
here that i did

83
00:02:53.310 --> 00:02:55.140
so nepal the data it was really

84
00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:56.490
interesting to shoot some of the the

85
00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:59.580
different greenway am also lehi is top

86
00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:02.100
left and it shot twelve fifty seven

87
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:03.390
feet per second so it was pretty

88
00:03:03.390 --> 00:03:05.550
spicy and this is that's a ninety

89
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:07.830
greens that's a really lightweight bullet super

90
00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:10.260
bell top-right ten thirty seven feet per

91
00:03:10.260 --> 00:03:11.760
second that's one hundred and fifteen green

92
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:13.440
bullet and then the defense

93
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:15.600
dynamics by fiocchi hundred and fifteen grain

94
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:17.550
again it's bottom left and at ten

95
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.530
forty four so about the same heat

96
00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:21.120
per second super bell and then we

97
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.290
went to the hot munitions which is

98
00:03:22.290 --> 00:03:24.525
bottom right hundred and twenty four jaeger

99
00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:26.310
whole point one thousand one hundred and

100
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:28.050
eighteen feet per second so a different

101
00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:30.120
spread but i'm pretty happy with these

102
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.220
groups especially with iron sights cause i'm

103
00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:33.060
not gonna fight shooter

104
00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:35.610
the script really well and you know

105
00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.860
if you're in a defensive scenario i've

106
00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:38.910
been training a lot lately and i

107
00:03:38.910 --> 00:03:40.211
can tell you you're not going to

108
00:03:40.211 --> 00:03:41.190
see your site so it doesn't matter

109
00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:43.200
if the gun has iron sights red

110
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:44.790
dot optic you know when you are

111
00:03:44.790 --> 00:03:46.770
drawing and defending yourself especially in close

112
00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:48.600
quarters really doesn't matter what sights on

113
00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:50.310
it in terms of training though you

114
00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:51.420
want to have the right sites for

115
00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:53.760
you so for the rear

116
00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:55.920
sight what's really interesting with the optic

117
00:03:55.920 --> 00:03:58.140
plate once the optic plate comes off

118
00:03:58.290 --> 00:04:00.090
the iron sight actually comes off as

119
00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:01.650
well and then this is set up

120
00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:03.480
on the aurum sc where the fibo

121
00:04:03.481 --> 00:04:05.520
seven k footprint so that is like

122
00:04:05.820 --> 00:04:08.670
a great little compact optic you wouldn't

123
00:04:08.670 --> 00:04:09.780
want anything more than that because it's

124
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.030
kerrigan very small pistol right now though

125
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:13.590
you have your three white dot

126
00:04:13.950 --> 00:04:16.170
iron sights and which are really nice

127
00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:17.910
really clear to see i mean large

128
00:04:17.910 --> 00:04:19.620
dots i had no problem seeing this

129
00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:21.147
out on the range so i i

130
00:04:21.147 --> 00:04:23.010
rarely shoot a single action gun in

131
00:04:23.010 --> 00:04:24.510
this i used to not like on

132
00:04:24.510 --> 00:04:26.370
the nineteen eleven platform so what's really

133
00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:29.550
interesting is its single action trigger so

134
00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:31.950
safeties off right now call it fires

135
00:04:32.250 --> 00:04:34.080
there's no double action so it seems

136
00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:36.570
actually that means when you're carrying you

137
00:04:36.570 --> 00:04:37.860
know you would load the gun this

138
00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:40.440
hammer would stay back and then you

139
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.720
can put your safety on once again

140
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.160
to smith and wesson designers to be

141
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.530
ambidextrous so you have a safety thumb

142
00:04:46.530 --> 00:04:47.790
safety on both sides so if you're

143
00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:49.920
left-handed right-handed you're good to go and

144
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.400
that's really comfortable around this trigger i

145
00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:53.880
shot

146
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.950
shop pretty quick for a little tiny

147
00:04:55.950 --> 00:04:57.390
gun that was easy to hang onto

148
00:04:57.390 --> 00:04:58.830
i put my whole hand definitely took

149
00:04:58.830 --> 00:05:00.210
up a whole pistol and i have

150
00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:01.890
a little bit too much trigger pull

151
00:05:01.890 --> 00:05:03.300
just because of there's nowhere else for

152
00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:04.321
my hand to go and you know

153
00:05:04.321 --> 00:05:05.631
my trigger finger to go you don't

154
00:05:05.631 --> 00:05:07.890
have the flat trigger shoe and still

155
00:05:07.890 --> 00:05:09.180
flat trigger after that you just pull

156
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.438
the rear boom okay and the rest

157
00:05:11.452 --> 00:05:13.620
that guys ooh that's it that's all

158
00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:14.400
i'm coming off the trigger

159
00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:16.350
it's not much and like i said

160
00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:17.730
so if i'm dripping with god and

161
00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:19.200
i've got my my whole hand my

162
00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:20.910
whole grip on it y'all try to

163
00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:22.230
pull my finger out of the trigger

164
00:05:22.230 --> 00:05:24.300
guard to get a better trigger press

165
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:25.470
than me wrapping my whole finger in

166
00:05:25.470 --> 00:05:26.490
there because there's not really a good

167
00:05:26.490 --> 00:05:28.530
position but depending on your hand size

168
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:29.490
and if you don't change out the

169
00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:31.410
grip module you might have the same

170
00:05:31.410 --> 00:05:33.120
experience with rd where there's nowhere else

171
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.140
for my trigger finger ready to go

172
00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:36.450
so that was really fun you do

173
00:05:36.450 --> 00:05:38.460
have ambidextrous fly flop locked a gun

174
00:05:38.460 --> 00:05:40.710
back super familiar with the shield easy

175
00:05:40.710 --> 00:05:41.940
or any of the easy guns that

176
00:05:42.210 --> 00:05:43.290
smith and wesson put together they have

177
00:05:43.304 --> 00:05:45.120
really nice smooth slide this doesn't have

178
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.130
the grip safety which is great but

179
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:48.690
i can tell you is a really

180
00:05:48.690 --> 00:05:50.190
easy gun to pull back and release

181
00:05:50.190 --> 00:05:51.180
so if you do have people that

182
00:05:51.180 --> 00:05:54.270
struggle with manipulating the slide i mean

183
00:05:54.270 --> 00:05:54.510
it's

184
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.830
you can tell it's pretty smooth again

185
00:05:55.890 --> 00:05:57.330
three point six inch barrel gun i

186
00:05:57.330 --> 00:05:59.400
mean this is tiny tiny i i

187
00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:01.200
this is great capacity honestly for a

188
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:03.720
carry gun and a lot of fun

189
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.550
shooting this and i use the garmin

190
00:06:05.550 --> 00:06:06.840
chronograph i think i mentioned on the

191
00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:08.700
accuracy testing but just make sure when

192
00:06:08.700 --> 00:06:10.080
you chronograph if you if you up

193
00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:11.010
if you find it important that you

194
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.560
have the right data and then zero

195
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.880
the gun to the ammunition that

196
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:16.350
you plan to carry so it's funny

197
00:06:16.413 --> 00:06:17.490
you know like looking at a target

198
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:18.870
i'm like okay if i was shooting

199
00:06:18.870 --> 00:06:20.250
this ammo and you'd move the the

200
00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:21.480
iron sights probably a little bit you

201
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.950
know and if it's different group okay

202
00:06:22.950 --> 00:06:25.260
this is probably off so whatever optic

203
00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:26.820
you go with whether it's red dot

204
00:06:26.910 --> 00:06:28.350
iron sights you do need sided in

205
00:06:28.410 --> 00:06:30.450
to you and the last thing too

206
00:06:30.450 --> 00:06:31.230
that i had on the radio is

207
00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:33.420
really important is proper hearing protection i

208
00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:34.830
wear so all i wear is hundreds

209
00:06:34.830 --> 00:06:35.040
each

210
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.626
the gold these are the be raised

211
00:06:36.626 --> 00:06:39.450
frames super comfortable to shoot and they

212
00:06:39.450 --> 00:06:42.810
are anti safety rated lenses and frames

213
00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:43.920
and you definitely want that when you're

214
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.889
shooting at like steel and we shot

215
00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:47.010
a lot of caldwell still out on

216
00:06:47.010 --> 00:06:48.180
the range day so it was really

217
00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:49.680
important that i have that and then

218
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.420
walkers disruptors these are kind of like

219
00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:53.970
your airpods but for shooting there's even

220
00:06:53.970 --> 00:06:55.200
an app that connects this uk

221
00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:57.270
can have pass-through you can mute them

222
00:06:57.810 --> 00:06:59.220
listen to music take a phone call

223
00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:00.660
i mean and in this little tiny

224
00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:03.090
package so many guys i i was

225
00:07:03.090 --> 00:07:04.892
impressed you know i i always come

226
00:07:04.892 --> 00:07:06.750
into these reviews with a smaller smaller

227
00:07:06.750 --> 00:07:08.460
guns cause i don't really like going

228
00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:09.900
smaller all the time right and i'm

229
00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:11.100
like okay it's going to feel good

230
00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:12.450
is it going to be easy to

231
00:07:12.450 --> 00:07:14.460
manage the recoil what would i recommend

232
00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:15.360
this pistol to someone

233
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:17.100
else right i think because of the

234
00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.080
trigger shoe how light it is the

235
00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:20.850
pool and reset how easy that is

236
00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:23.370
and how well the slide moves i

237
00:07:23.370 --> 00:07:25.620
would totally recommend this the only thing

238
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.000
like i said is kind of getting

239
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.170
used to the size of the gun

240
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.700
changing out the grip module if you

241
00:07:29.700 --> 00:07:31.410
need to you you've got a backup

242
00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:33.420
capacity magazine so if you want to

243
00:07:33.750 --> 00:07:35.100
change it out you could have backup

244
00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:35.460
twelve

245
00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:38.490
fifteen backup seventeen but just know you

246
00:07:38.490 --> 00:07:40.290
are going to have that external hammer

247
00:07:40.530 --> 00:07:42.120
so whatever holster you have in holster

248
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.580
setup you probably should have should have

249
00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:46.350
a high sweat guard that will kind

250
00:07:46.350 --> 00:07:47.670
of protect the hammer and not have

251
00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:49.260
so much irritation up there but totally

252
00:07:49.260 --> 00:07:51.240
up to you just make sure it's

253
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:52.500
optic cut you put an optic on

254
00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:55.020
there and it's fitted and moulded to

255
00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:55.680
this gun so

256
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.390
if you want to see before you

257
00:07:57.420 --> 00:07:58.770
