Pretty wild that one made a journey all the way to France!
Excellent timing for this old thread to be revived. I picked up this CS-1 2M stamped gun, this week (purchased on GunBroker). I own/have owned many S&W's and can without a doubt say that this one has
the best action of any I have had the pleasure to dry fire. I don't know if it left the factory that way, or if someone did work on it at some point, but I like it (a lot).
