No regrets in being a refuge from NJ
November 2 1972
I boarded a jet for boot camp in Orlando FL
I left never thinking on returning.
I never forgot the cap gun I ordered from the back of a magazine in about 1960. It came in the mail. It was OPENED!

L 3 inch K 2.5 and J 1.9 inch
Altamont balances well with a 3 inch full lug
Grasshorns work for me on the K and J
Be sure of holster compatibility. The thumb break on the trigger guard can be an issue on hammer-less.
I have been having more problems keeping the gun under wraps lately.
I went from 237 pounds four years back to 140-144 now after the cancer diet.
Several belts , pants from 40 to 32W and suspenders later the pants are still a problem daily. Even pocket carry is a pain in the belt.
Winter coming...

It is all up to you.
What feels good, what hits good and is there enough power to do the job?
If 5 rounds are insufficient you it off more than you can chew.
I love my J frames and sometimes feel the need to step it up a notch depending on where I may go. First choice is avoid bad places.
On...

I have a CS9 which has one or two springs and maybe another part under the rear sight.
I can not find a diagram with the parts listed.
I moved the rear sight and what ever was under there went flying into the wild blue yonder. I need what ever they were.
Help please.
