jughed440 when I began this thread SmithNut was not present. I am glad to see that he has returned to the board.
I started this thread because at the time, there were many questions about CS1 revolvers and little in the way of answers provided. As I stated previously, I provided ONLY information from past posts/threads that was no longer available. No personal correspondence or Emails.
SmithNut is the expert on the CS1 revolvers, as well as almost all things S&W.
I am but a lowly end user who accumulates revolvers.
Hopefully SmithNut will see your questions and provide better information than I am able. Regards 18DAI
