I was told by a senior S&W executive that most CS-1s went to the civilian market, but I doubt that that really makes much difference. In any case they are great guns. I do have a 3-inch version and like it a lot.

I carried a 4" CS1 as my duty revolver for many years and it is still one of my favorites, second only to my 3" Mod 66.

Ok, I am going to order a 3 inch barrel for my 686, and I was wondering as far as the extractor goes what do I need to order? I was thinking just the actual extractor rod that has the left hand threads or do I have to order the entire assembly?

I lucked up when i got mine.it dont have the dull finish it has the regular finish.I was told on here that it was one of the production overruns that was sold on the civilian market.but I got it and the box for $325 the gun store didnt know how to price it and sold it as a used 686.I couldnt get the money out fast enough.everyone who has held it loves it and wants one. I say good luck finding one.

check out -= WAPENHANDEL SLENDEBROEK =- than go to left menu and chose "GK revolvers". Ok it's in the Netherlands but maybe he can ship? Besides he sells them "cheap".

A three inch CS-1 in original box that is 98% or better starts at 1000.00 in CA. Also on GB MANY of them bring more than that.

The thing with three inch CS-1's that no only they are rare, but they are also GREAT packing guns. Nice finish, adjustable sights, RB frame, three inch heavy barrel, very good actions, no lock or MIM parts.

CS-1's have two factors: Collectible and also a great gun. Got both.

PS. I own two of them in three inch LNIB. Always looking for another one.
