Two Tone CS40 ??
I have a blued CS40 and have seen stainless CS40 (CS40S?) but was there ever a factory Two Tone CS40 with Silver Slide over Blued Frame? Or would such an example be a hybrid or one with a blasted slide?

Matte blue, one year or stainless per standard catalog 4th ed. These books are great and every member should buy one. The best money I ever spent.

I got one some time ago. No box or anything but it was in great shape and so cheap I got it.
I’m probably the only one that isn’t really appreciative of the “reverse” two tone. For some reason I like my other two tone S&W’s, (black slides over silver frames,) but the other way doesn’t do it for me.
My solution was to have “guzzitaco” work his artistic magic on a complete upper that I got years ago. I bought it to run on my CS45 which it does flawlessly. That idea came from “JohnHL”.
With the outstanding job “guzzitaco” did the “reverse” two tone doesn’t bother me. As much. I was also lucky to have “TercGen” make me the grip.

I have had mine for several years now.
It was the last one I bought. Funny, the blue was the first one I located
My intent was to convert it to 10MM Auto like my other two. I just have not gotten around to it since moving
In 10MM Auto it does make for one stout firing pocket pistol
I will need to locate another set of Hogues for the two tome

I don't think I have a visual preference either way, but from a practicality standpoint, the finish on the frame is more likely to last longer, and the slide takes the brunt of the holster wear or other "accidents".

Such a nice looking and handy small gun! Sure would like to see them brought back. Did not take me long to swap others I had for one in stainless back in 99.

Good book, but I have found it lacking on 3rd generation pistols, particularly low production or specials, which this appears to be - but at least 3 or 4 posted here, so I guess it was a SW product not a made up pistol as I had thought. Date code 0033 on one would put it year 2000.
Next question - were there magazine variations on CS40 - some pictures seem to show cutaway grip while others seem to show uncut grip?

All the CS40 magazines I have, and have seen are the same.
I put Pre-Rail 4513TSW mag bases, (buttplates,) on two of my 40 magazines and most of my CS45’s. Whenever the bases showed up for sale I got them.

OK - so I am convinced the Silver over Blue two tone CS40 is real - but what is the pedigree - was it a Special for a Vendor like the Zanders 457 two tone or a one year Centennial since it appears some (all?) were shipped in 2000?

Mine is similar, minus the BD grips. Wonderful little gun. I have the CS9 too. Haven't shot it yet.
