alright here is the story. i bought this gun brand new i carry it off and on but could never make it my daily carry. i am a left handed shooter and as much as i try to be quick with this gun its just not happening.my hold up is the safety. i contact s&w about putting a ambi safety on it like the newer ones but they say it cannot be done. i really dont wanna sell this gun i love it. it concels great and shoots perfect. heck i have never had a jam. but now i am a father and i find myself carrying everyday to protect my family and i just cannot be quick enuff with the cs9 due to its safety. why dont i carry it with the safety off...very simple answer i dont want to....so i am leaning towards selling. even tho i really do not want to.....
