My new .45s

[Franciscomv]

I heard a rumour that a local distributor had some brand new S&W semiautos, so I called a friend who works at a gun shop and had him check. The local S&W importer had somehow misplaced a shipment of 3rd Generation pistols some years ago and just happened to find it a couple of months ago in one of their warehouses, at least that's the story they're going with.

I didn't much care about how or why those guns ended up there, I was happy to find new in box S&Ws (the Argentine firearm market is quite pityful). I'm a revolver guy, but I have a soft spot for single stack .45s.

Anyway, I ended up picking up two guns: a 457 and a CS45. Both for a very good price.

I've shot a few hundred rounds (mostly my own reloads) through each of them with no issues, and I'm really pleased with their accuracy.

The CS45 shot better than I thought it would, I definitely enjoy it more than the 457. I ordered holsters for both of them, I'm still waiting on the one for the CS45 (I've been using the universal one in the pic)

Incredible find! You must be living right

 

[Derosa]

Good for you! Right place; right time; shoot well.

Thanks, guys! I'm thrilled with them. Especially the CS45.

I recently purchased a CS45. In a word....AWESOME!!! I do not understand why they stopped making this gun. When I bought it I picked up a cheap Stickey Holster. Never heard of it before, but for $16, why not try it. Not real crazy about the holster, but my CS goes on my side when I get dressed, and doesn't come off until I am getting ready for bed. Never even know it is there. We all know people say we don't carry to be comfortable. Well this gun is exactly that comfortable. I never have any discomfort or anything. Trying to see if they have a Crossbreed holster for it now. Lord willing, I will have this gun the rest of my life.
