I carry the CS9 A LOT! It started off as a pistol for carrying when I "couldn't have a gun" - Church, social gatherings with non gun folks ect. Then the CS9 became my carry gun during the miserable heat and humidity - which is about 9 months of the year here. 
And working at the range, I usually carry a full size 45, sometimes a compact 45. But as I get old and tired, there are many days lately where I just don't care to carry a lot of gun. So, the CS9 gets the nod. So easy to carry you forget its either in or on your belt.
But I realized the other day, I had been carrying the CS9 for months, without shooting it. Yea, I clean it and lube it regularly. But as I tell students, you need to practice with your carry gun. Especially the tiny light weight carry guns with the short sight radius. And I believe in practicing what I preach. So, yesterday I had a student no show and found myself with time and ammunition - while again carrying the CS9. No time like the present.
My CS9 wears the excellent TercGen grips. Thank you again TercGen! I put a rubber textured grip sleeve over them. Anchors the tiny gun in my hand. Makes it very controllable. I have Novak Low Mount night sights on mine too. Good fast sight picture. And a flash sight picture is where this pistol shines. Very easy to aquire the front sight and the excellent trigger enables fast, accurate hits. A good trigger is fundamental to accurate shooting. Period. The people who tell you "...you can work around the trigger!" are either selling guns, or own guns with lousy triggers. Nuff said.
I shot around 50 rounds of mixed weight ball, 115, 124 and 147. And then I finished up with some old carry ammo - Winchester Ranger 147 grain RA9T. The target in the picture was the last target I shot, using RA9T as pictured. The gun is cleaned up. The two larger circles are 2.5 inches across and were shot using a flash sight picture with all shot strings started in DA. All the smaller circles were shot slow fire in SA. All the shooting was done at 7 yards. What do the plastic gun crowd say? "...this is not a target pistol!..." I am very pleased with the CS9s accuracy and reliability.
The CS9 is for up close and personal work. A great get off me gun or BUG on duty. And due to its small size and light weight, easily concealed and a joy to carry. Regards 18DAI
