they do seem in short supply at the moment but keep your eyes open, ck all your local gunshops and gun shows, make the rounds daily of the numerous websites selling guns (including the S&W Forum guns for sale or trade section). If you are patient, persistent and maybe a little lucky, you'll find one sooner or later. Also don't dismiss out of hand the fine S&W 3913, a near clone that seems a little more available. I purchased thru this forum within the last year or so both a CS9 and CS40, separately from 2 guys who felt after owning them they just weren't the perfect gun for them. I'm more than pleased with them as well as the CS45 I own. Good luck.
