my apologies smithfan that I didn't reply sooner but just seen your question....I didn't measure the width difference but the wood KSD grips feel like they have slightly more girth than stock delrins and a lot less than wood or rubber Hogues

If you're interested in swapping the baseplate for a curved one, PM me. And yes, that's a good price for a NIP magazine. After all, you don't shoot the package. 
Just felt the need to brag that I found this 3913TSW mag for my cs9 for just $29.95 lol

Can one change the plastic type mag release to a metal more conventional one. I had a CS9 with tge single sided slide mounted de-cocker and i took it completely apart and that damn mag release was fi ished haf to have a mate of a mate machine one out of a similar material using a very expensive machine. But never trusted thw mag release nut after that. If it is able to replaced i will look for.ankther cs9. I sold my cs9 as i coukd o ly find it used abd it was in a horrible shape. And i gifted a cs45 to a friend of mine which i do not regret...
If you are asking if the magazine release can be replaced with a metal one from say, a 3913, the answer is no.
The magazine nut for the Value Line guns is a plastic, one time use, part that is different from the standard 3rd Gen item. In fact, the entire assembly is different. Plus, the frame is machined differently on the Value Line guns.

The disconnect tab that holds the magazine is of course metal though. The CS9 plastic mag release works as intended, you just don't take it apart unless you have a new one to replace it with. To maintain it, I drip oil into both sides while working the button, then blow it out with compressed air. Good as new

Another +1 for TercGen and his awesome grips
I got home from work and my set of TercGen modded CS40 grips were waiting in the mailbox for me. Easy installation and they look and feel great. I took a couple of pics of my TDA CS40 with the grips next to its brother DAO CS40 with stock grips to show the huge difference they make.

Nice Smith's u got there! The thinner grips are so much better than the gigantic rubber Hogues

This something. I found this CS9 just listed TODAY. Shop opened 20 mins ago. I called, and it had just sold a few mins prior!!! Missed it by that much!
They also have a MINT 3913 w box and papers for $450 if anyone is looking for one

Thanks for pointing out yet another gun shop within driving distance. I've never heard of them and I suspect TTSH has been holding this one out on me! 
Here are the pictures of the trigger that came today. If it's a TDA trigger and you're interested PM me.

Sorry, guys.
That is a DOA trigger, (probably from an earlier 4046) forged and flash chromed.
The give-away is the "hump" on the rear of the trigger just below the hooks.
The TDA trigger "hump" would be more pointed than rounded and have a flattened top.

Thanks.
To quote "Blazing Saddles", "Hump, what hump?"
Good to know. I'll put the trigger away for future sale or use or something.

I'm getting old, but isn't that what Igor (Marty Feldman) said to Dr Fronk-on-steen (Gene Wilder) in "Young Frankenstein" when asked if his "hump" was on the other side?
John?

Somebody there at Yankee Artifacts dint do their homework before pricing that CS9 if it's truly in 98 percent condition. Sorry you missed out on that steal....I mean, deal.
John's right about the DAO trigger.
Also, something else to keep in mind is that if you compare machined triggers from a 59XX and a 391X, the single stack 9 triggers have a thinner trigger (side-to-side) than the double stack guns originally did. (Well, the 59XX/69XX guns we got in '89/'90, anyway.)
The MIM triggers are uniformly thin, as I recall.

Hey guys, what about this one? Says it's for 3953, but isn't this a TDA trigger?
Gimme a few minutes. I just took some pics of some machined triggers, which I'll have to send to myself and then post on my imaging service, and then I'll post here ...
