FWIW I bought one a couple of years ago (new <$500. w/tax) and I've never regreted it. Typically reliable, incredibly easy to shoot well at least to 50' and pretty cool too. IMO one of the best "sub-compact" .45s period

p.s.
What's "not good" condition like?

I have one and love it. I just orderd a set of Big Dog grips for it. The CS45 is extremely reliable, accurate, and easy to conceal. IMO, big bang for the bucks.

Out of curiosty (and a burning desire to get a CS 45 to go with my CS 9).I was wondering how much they were asking for the not so nice CS 45?

Since I am in the market for a CS45, what does a LNIB one go for, if you don't mind sharing?

Thank you

I saw one LNIB but no box with one mag for $499 at the big gun show last weekend. It felt just a little too big in my hands so I passed. I had not realized how hard these were getting to find. Missed a nice CCS( blued for $450 a few weeks ago.

snorko,

They do feel fat in the hand. However, forum member Big Dog alters the standard 45 frame grip, which is much, much thinner to fit the CSs. Makes a big difference, or so I'm told.

You can find his thread offering them for sale in Accesories forum.

lalodad,
Upon reading about the CS45 here on the forum, I got a used
one, and have been very pleased with it. Looks a little rough,but
with or without the BigDog grips, it handles well with my small
hands. The BigDog grips made it better. Smaller and lighter doesn't
mean big recoil, either. Shoots and feels pretty much the same as
a full-size .45.
I think you made a good snag on the one you're getting, IMHO.

I have Big Dog's grips on all my CS's.They are a fine investment in a great pistol.

I have a blue and a stainless. I thought I read somewhere that the blue was starting to be more valuable than the stainless. Any opinions on this ? I love both of mine .
