Just a quick hello and thank you to the forum admins and mods for keeping it going. Have not been here much in a few years. I was privileged to have @ VIP tours of the S&W factory a couple years ago. If anyone would like my impressions, etc, let me know and I will write up all the detail I can...

So... in my journey through daily carry, I started concealed daily carry in 1996 when it came to Texas... I started with a 1911 and soon got tired of the size and weight... so then came a Star PD... very easy to carry but soooo unpleasan5 to shoot... looking for a middle ground, I went to the...

Just bought another CS45. Looking for a carry holster. Last time I carried a CS45 I had one of these THUMB BREAK BELT HOLSTER Anyone know where I can buy something similar now? Thanks!

I love my CS45 and wish they still made them! I carry it every day in a Bladetech IWB with a crossbreed IWB mag carrier on the other side. It is so small and light that I usually am unaware I have it.

How does this compare to the CS45? Looks much the same. Thanks

I can't recall if it was Cooper or who that said, "A 25 ACP would do if there was no firearm available"... I'll stick with my 45 and failing that my compact 9 and failing that a 380... and failing that.. I'll stay home....

In another thread http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-semi-auto-pistols/165471-cs45-upillar-com.html there is a CS45 equipped with an unbobbed hammer for sale. Does anyone know where an unbobbed replacement hammer could be purchased? I love my CS45 but might love it even more if it was...

Bought one in Texas last month... $499 at Academy

The 'green' scotchbrite?

Shameless bump...

So what generation does that make my beloved CS45?

I recently bought a police trade in 5906... carried much.. shot almost never... looks great internally... but the exterior has the usuual carry scratches and holster wear areas where the 'matte' finish is worn smooth... how do I make it look like new(er)? Thanks!!!

I recently bought one NIB for the wife... went to the range... bang... jam.. bang.. jam... etc... NOT at all what I expected from S&W... called the factory.. they sent a pre-paid shipping label... sent it off.. they did their magic... got it back in 2 weeks.. went to the range... bang...

Called S&W, told them of the problems, they said that should NEVER happen, told me to ship it in and I would have it back in a week... will advise...

I have both the blue and SS flavors of the CS45. It is 45ACP and is, sadly, no longer manufactured. I find it to be a reliable, accurate and easy to conceal weapon that is my daily carry. I use a blade tech IWB holster and no one at my office or elsewhere is ever aware it is there. I load it...
