Same here for me. My usual Texas summer carry is a CS9. Now that fall has arrived and when spring gets here, I transition to a 908S. Winter, such as it is, brings out my regular house gun, a 6906.
CS9 Chiefs Special Value?

I need to hijack this thread a little. But, to stay on point, I cannot imagine paying 1100 dollars for one of the CS-line of pistols. I have owned and carried a CS-45 for more than a decade and I still love that gun but there are SO many compact pistols out there today I cannot understand how a CS in any caliber can exceed around 500 bucks. Maybe I'd feel differently if I didn't have one BIDTS....
So, the thread hijack - because some of you on this thread know this - what are Big Dog grips and how do they differ from the standard grips on a CS model pistol?
Thanks.

Big Dog grips are 3913 grips cut down professionally to fit a cs9 and installed with a pin like a all the other 3rd gens grips. Provide a thinner carrying pistol, like what s&w should have done when they produced the cs9. Big Dog is the handle of the fellow who fabricated it, and has sold 100s of them. Now available at the website griftac.

cs45pilot, excuse me if I'm wrong, but those look like delrin(S&W OEM)grips. The grips pictured in post #14 are what I thought Big Dog grips were. The standard S&W delrin grips are retained with a grip pin. The Big Dogs I've seen pics of have screws retaining them, as evidenced in the pics from each post. Can anybody shed any light on this? Thanks!

S&W did not make delrin grips for the cs9, they came with the hogue grips with screws only. The grips you are calling s&w oem are in fact 3913 grips modified for the cs series. The standard for cs series is hogue with screws. The delrin grips with pins are in fact big dog grips.

I know I've posted this picture before...
But, here is the difference between the factory Hogue grips and the delrin grips.
The one on the right is my CS9 with factory Hogue grips.
The one on the left is my 908S with the delrin grips I cut down to fit the CS9.
The second picture is the CS9 with the delrin grips.

This is news to me. I had no idea that the S&W delrin grips on my CS9 weren't factory. I'd actually gone to Big Dog's website and thought, "Hm, those look like the grips I have now. So, what's the deal for 100-some dollars?"
Gotta love the stuff you can learn on this site.
The gun's previous owner had already set me up and I didn't even know it. The pictures I'd seen of CS9s with Hogues, I just assumed had been fitted aftermarket.
Hey, I may be slow on the up-take, but once the light bulb goes off, it's like a movie premier searchlight.
