That's why I just picked up a CS9... totally MUCH more concealable... and it shoots great too! And it's metal... I'm "old school" and just don't want a plastic gun. All metal is good (in my way of thinking). Plastic is lighter but will kick much more as a result and reliability reports are still "pending" on so many of them. I want a concealable metal gun that I can trust to go bang in a pinch... I think I have one now. I'm a happy camper!3913 to the far left, CS45 on top, CS9 on the bottom. 3913 has a slightly longer barrel, and slightly taller grip.

I agree they are great pistols. You just don't see them listed on GunBroker for sale. I guess with summer, so many states adopting conceal carry laws and our fine President, people want these CS pistols. I even think the CS-9 would work in a pocket holster.

I am very blessed I got my instructor certification in May 09 because I became motivated to research and pick up my first semi auto which was a NIB CS9.At that time A gun dealer bought out all of S+W's new overstock and put them for sale in Gunsamerica.Be patient because they do come up for sale every now and then.BTW I did a little search and find and found a place selling them @ a good price http://www.gunandsport.com/products/pistols/smith+wesson.html ....God Bless......Mike

Bought mine on Gunbroker a week or so ago. I carry it in my front pocket in a DeSantis (just like the Big Dog).

3913 vs CS9
A good number of years ago I had the opportunity to shoot the CS9 and the 3913 one after the other. I found the CS9 to be uncomfortable in my hands and the 3913 was as small as I could go. I now own a 3913. If the gun is going to be carried IWB I don't think the 3913 is any more difficult to conceal especially if carried with some forward cant. I find that a longer grip produces a faster draw with the gun more likely to be properly indexed in the fist. That means that the first shot, especially if taken without a good sight picture is likely to be more accurate.

Thanks Mike, but at almost $600 I'll have to past for now until funds allow. Rodrockingoff, I guess my "search" on GunBroker missed that one. Hope you got it for a good price and enjoy it.

Gary -- $600... seems to be the "going price" nowdays.
Some guy won a sweet CS40 on Auction Arms yesterday for about $375 out the door. I tried to slip in a bid myself but forgot to log in before I bid so I missed out. It didn't have the box but it looked like it was in great shape. Lucky fellow. It would have rounded out the CS tri-fecta for me.
