Shield Out; CS9 In

[Redcoat3340]

My LGS had a new-looking CS9 in the showcase (I check every week and this one just turned up on Tuesday).

I really liked the size; feel; grips; trigger; and that it is a perfect companion to my 6906, 4513 and 4566 (plus all my other Smith semi's).

I had them put it on a shelf with my name on it; came back here and read a bunch of glowing opinions plus a bunch of other interweb stuff....

...and went today and traded my 9mm Shield, which this will replace, plus a safe queen for the CS9 and a store credit.

When got home and took it down to clean and lube....there was nothing to clean. It looks unshot. So some oil, a bit of grease and I hope to get to the range either Sat or Sun or both days.

I'd add a picture...but it looks like every other new CS9 with stock grips and two mags, case and paperwork for $425 and no tax. (I'll probably put a FO on the front sight...I have a spare one somewhere.)

Local shop has a very nice one for $400. Stainless with one mag. Mags are too expensive and hard to find for these so I passed.

Congrats! Good deal on a great pistol. You definitely traded up! Enjoy that fine nine! Regards 18DAI

That is a very good deal for a LNIB CS9. Good deal if it's a blue CS9, better deal if it's a Stainless version.

Welcome, once you get a CS9, you will start looking for a CS 45 to go with it. Resistance is futile.

Now you need some TercGen grips to make it "perfect". Regards 18DAI

In that case, I'm doomed.

And here I am, well pleased with a Shield in .45 and a 4513TSW. Anyone want to trade a nice Shield for....yep, CS9 in .45? (I can already hear the murmur from inside the safe, "CS45, CS45, CS45." It's getting louder.

Prepare to acquire CS45. Resistance is futile. You cannot argue with your safe.

In my case, this was not exactly how it went. True that I started looking for the accompanying CS45 as soon as I bought a CS9.

The problem was I kept buying CS9s in the meantime.

There are variations in symptoms.

They're from a company called KSD - out of Turkey. They have their own website or EBay usually has them. I like them but ....

Every set I've bought has "pivoted" a bit and required some internal epoxy'ing. Which can be a bit of a challenge given everything that's going on inside the CS. Once in place though they're very nice, look great.

I carried one of these models in stainless for about two years when I was on the job, it was Ok, but just that, ok.

I have a CS9 , CS40-10mm , and a CS45 . Love them all , a major mistake that S&W stopped making them . If you aren't happy with the trigger , I happily endorse BMCM as someone to send it to . He did my CS40-10mm conversion , and he has my CS9 cleaning up the trigger and going through it . You won't be sorry if you contact him .
