Very nice! How does it shoot?
All I ever find at gun shows these days is tupperware, beef jerky, and cheap knives. I need to ride with you!

A few years back I didn't even know what a CS-1 was. I started reading about them and ended up with 2 within weeks of each other. I sold 1 of them on the forum and kept the second one. I have never run across another one since. Thought I did last week when I spotted a 3" L frame in a case at a local pawn shop. I pulled it out and it was a darn old 3" 696 no dash. It is now in my safe along with the CS-1 and my 3" 66-2.

Your luck is just plain atrocious! I wish I had some just like that.

When I went through the U.S. Customs Academy at the FLETC in February 1988 I was issued a CS-1 with a 4" barrel. Later on, when I got to my duty station on the border in Calexico, California I swapped it for one with a 3" barrel and it stayed with me until we turned them in and received S&W Model 6946 pistols in 9mm; I think that was in late 1992 where I was stationed at the time. I put a note with contact information in the box with my old CS-1 and hoped if someone bought it they might get in touch. It was about that time that Janet Reno started chopping up guns instead of selling them, so no telling what happened to it. I'd love to have another 3" CS-1.

That dealer didn't give it away. It was either pawned cheap or the original owner didn't know what it was either. Either way you did good. Congrats on a good find.
