Which 10-8 F/O sight did you use........
I used a Dawson Precision 5906 .120T/.100W on my 6915 FrankenSmith.

I really wasn't gonna buy a CS9. And then...

I strongly suggest you begin searching for the CS45 first.
That way I'll have less competition in my search for a CS40.

Very nice BMCM! 
I like the Hogue grips on my 4516-3 and 3913. But I just prefer the thin Delrin TercGen grips on my CS series guns.
Especially the CS9 pistols. I get a firmer better grip coming out of the holster. And the little gun just points very well. Very fast handling too.
Like you I only shoot the CS9s out to 15 yards. Thats what it was designed for and that is what I use it for.
I am in the process of.......getting comfortable, with 9mm again. Almost two decades of shooting and carrying 45s moved me away from the 9mm round. But as fast and accurately as I can shoot it out of a CS9 and as good a carry gun as the CS9 is, has me reevaluating a few things. And lately the stainless CS9 with Novak night sights gets carried almost daily. And shot regularly.
147 grain Winchester Ranger - RA9B is the round I use in my 9mms. Kills Bugs dead.
Enjoy that fine nine Master Chief! Best regards, 18DAI

That rear sight you fit onto the CS9 is absolute perfection! It does match the rear of the slide like it was installed at the factory.
Now that you have one of these chunky little guys, I wonder how long before you start looking at the slide and thinking that sure could be slimmed down and reshaped more like a 3913... now that I would really like to see!

...Now I need to find me a matching CS40 and a CS45, although on those guns the rubber grips go in the recycle bin...Hideous

Not only are they an eyesore, but the factory Hogue rubber grips on the CS45/CS40 are incredibly uncomfortable in hand. Modded Delrin grips make a huge difference with those models.
To a degree, I agree, but ...
Those fat & chunky Hogue stocks on the CS45 might feel a bit awkward just holding the gun (especially to my medium-size hands), but once the recoil of live-fire begins they mitigate it like nobody's business. They create a very controllable and comfortable "handshake" experience during recoil.
That's why I've left them on my own early production stainless very ('99, I think I ordered it?), even after cases and cases of assorted ammo and rounds fired, and even though they've never felt "any better" when I just grasp the gun.
If I couldn't get a solid indexed/point grasp & grip & sight alignment with them - and if they felt just as awkward during live-fire - I'd have tried to figure out something different many years ago.
Different strokes, folks.
I've been thinking along those lines IF I can find a CS9 that won't bankrupt the gun fund. My plan is for a CS9 as a pocket pistol with shaved and dehorned controls and a contouring of the slide.

True, it is a subjective thing. I guess for me it's just how much bulkier the CS45/40 grips are compared to the factory CS9's.
To be honest, I never fired my CS45 with the factory Hogues on them, I just disliked the feel in hand too much. I will say that with the modified Delrin grips recoil is not bad at all, on par with my 457, and a strip of grip tape on the back keeps it locked in my hand nicely. Actually, I feel that my 4513TSW pre-rail kicks more than both the CS45 and 457, all with Delrin grips and new recoil springs. And it's what I consider to be the nicest of all 3 guns, go figure.

The Hogue grips are fine for shooting...
They just don't conceal well.

can you please get me in touch with tercgen-i have 2 cs9's and would like a set for one of them. I sent pm but not sure it got through.
tercgen, you can email me at [email protected] if you prefer.
sorry, I didn't turn on the email function when I signed up.

Yeah, it took a long time, but I have come to accept that the Hogue rubber grips, ugly & mushy as they are compared to the Delrin/Xenoy grips, really are perfectly acceptable... even desirable... for comfortable range shooting.
Since I don't carry any of my 3rd Gens, I have little incentive, beyond cosmetic, to replace the Hogue rubber grips, even on my larger 3rd Gens. 
Feel the same concerning the Hogue grip. Find em great for a steady hold at the range. Sure would like to see a limited run of the CS series but that is only a dream. A used blued one would be a nice addition.
