I’ve never seen a CS1 in the wild. I better look harder from now on.

Just curious, don’t see these fir sale very often, what is a 3” version worth. (Non issued, overrun, original wood grips, excellent condition).

Friend of mine is a retired customs inspector/firearms instructor.
He says the CS-1 was never well liked.
After they were withdrawn, many were given to the police in Haiti.
His preference was the 3953, also a Customs issue.
