I also like the "retaining nut" system on this gun (even though it came loose on the OP). This seems a better way to secure the barrel than engaging the rifling with a tool and cranking the barrel in, as I'm told is done on the other 2-piece barrel Smiths. That just don't seem right.

see ya
I consider that loose retaining nut a blessing as I would bet dollars to donuts that had it not been loose I never would have gotten that gun and at that price I could have returned the gun for a full refund, but with Smith CS it was a no-brainer to keep it.
