The Smith & Wesson CSX E-Series (Model 13897) is a hammer-fired, single-action, alloy-frame 9mm pistol with a compact 3.1″ barrel, E-Series slide cuts, and upgraded controls for modern carry needs.
Built with an aluminum alloy frame and black Armornite-coated slide, it delivers a traditional, all-metal feel in a high-capacity micro-compact platform. The manual thumb safety, ambidextrous controls, and crisp single-action trigger give it 1911-inspired control, without the weight or bulk.
Included are three magazines (12, 15, and 17 rounds), so you can easily switch between deep concealment, high-capacity carry, or extended range sessions.
