Well guys I did state about a new handgun that has caught my eye and it is Smith & Wesson's new CSX. Number one feature all metal. Tes that includes the frame no plastic here except in interchangeable backstraps . Three dot sight that I like an ambi safetthe safety that is on in the up position. This compares to my M43 Firestar as in the safety. Quarter cock. Barrel lengths about the same at 3.1 The Firestar came with a 7 round mag the S&W comes with one 10 and 0ne 12 round mags. Big difference between the two is weight. The S&W coming in at 10.5 ounces lighter as in aluminum alloy verses all steel. The Firestar you can carry cocked and locked not sure of the Smith you can wat the videos in the link I'll give. The big test if I would get one is howill it sit in my hand. I have drooled over handguns in the past but if they didnot sit right inmy hand they stayed at the dealers. www.smith-wesson.com/product/csx?sku=12615

Update to above post. I did some more research on this and it is just like my Firestar M43. You can carry cocked and locked but just like mu Firestar that when safety is engaged it does not lock the slide like a 1911 does. Their trigger saftey is nice as on the same principle as a Glock and other striker fired handguns you find out there. I hope to find one to see how it woulf fit in my hand.

Researching and figuring out the pros and cons is a lot of the fun in getting a new one. Sounds like you're getting close, have fun in the process and keep us posted.
