I really wish I could find a decent blue cs40d. That blued DAO would make a nice addition to my 1053 as a cs10.

Observations CS9 S/N & Config
Observed CS9 pistols for what its worth.
The rarest CS9 actually observed (by me anyway) is a single CS9D blue EKY75xx (year 2000 per SW), though I have observed NO CS9 blue with Ambi Safety which may exist. Last of the blues seems to be TDM in late 1999.
The EKW, EKY, EKZ series included both blue and silver CS9s but all left safety or DAO.
It appears all silver CS9s thru EKZ were Left Safety or DAO.
Beginning with the TDP or VJx series (mid 2000?) CS9s were Silver (No Blues) with Ambi Safety or DAO
CS9 Blue Left Safety 103884 - EKW01xx, EKW95xx, EKY28xx, EKZ66xx, EKZ67xx, TDM97xx
CS9 Blue Ambi Safety - none observed
CS9 Silver Left Safety 103887 - EKY02xx, EKY12xx, EKY89xx, EKY96xx
CS9 Silver Ambi Safety also 103887 - VJC88xx, VJE10xx, VJE92xx, VJF11xx, VJJ24xx, VJJ38xx, VJL89xx, UCF18xx, BDJ49xx, BDJ89xx, BDK19xx, BDX55xx
CS9D Blue 103886 - EKY75xx
CS9D Silver 103888 - EKY72xx, TDP65xx, TDP67xx, VJB67xx, VJH01xx, VJL64xx, BDK99xx
Note CS9D BDK99xx box end 9075 dated by SW as 3/2009 is latest CS9 observed (by me) of any configuration, CS9 BDX55xx next latest 2007.
Yes I was bored.

My stainless CS9 came with an ambi safety and Trijicon night sights. I don't know if the night sights were original to the gun or added on later.
The prefix is VJD.
I swapped out the silver ambi safety for a black left side only one.

I have never seen a standard CS9, CS40, CS45 with factory adjustable or night sights - possibly one of the Specials.
It came without a box, so I don't know what the label said. The person I bought it from was in some form of law enforcement, so it might have been either ordered with night sights or they were added afterwards.
The lamps were dead when I got it, so I sent the slide back to Trijicon for relamping.

Observed CS40 configurations
Based on my observations (100 CS40s and 14 CS40Ds) I will make the following observations (as a matter of interest at least to me).
CS40 Blue, Left Safety - 108521 - EKW05xx, EKW44xx, EKY22xx
CS40 Blue, Ambi Safety - none observed (by me)
CS40 Silver, Left Safety - 108544 - EKY14xx, EKY66xx, EKY86xx, EKZ16xx, EKZ55xx, TDT51xx
CS40 Silver, Ambi Safety - also 108544 - TDU19xx, VJB56xx, VJE00xx, VJH15xx, VJJ18xx, VJL38xx, BAY49xx, BAY83xx, BDH29xx
CS40 TwoTone, Ambi Safety - 108567 - Multiple TDR85xx-TDR99xx, Multiple TDS00xx-TDS5144
CS40D Blue - 108543 - Multiple EKY498x-EKY506x
CS40D Silver - 108545 - EKY498x, EKY51xx, TDU20xx, VJD73xx, VJL47xx, BDH55xx
Again, it appears Blue Left Safety were only in the early EKW & EKY groups ending in 1999.
Silver Left Safety were interspersed with Blue Left Safety and both Blue and Silver DAO pistols in the EKY group in 1999.
Silver Left Safety were last observed in the EKZ and TDT prefixes (late 1999- early 2000)
The TwoTone had Ambi Safety (circa 2000) in multiple examples in the TDR and TDS prefixes.
It appears the Silver with Ambi Safety and DAO (No Blue and No Left Only Safety) began in the TDU or the VJB prefixes mid 2000 and continued or were revived in the BAY series (2004) and BDH (2005)
Product codes (6 digits) beginning with 4 or 6 instead of 1 such as 608544 or 408544 appear to be the same pistols as the corresponding 108544 but sold as Surplus after the end of production, Refurbished, or Used. I have seen the 6xxxxx with Used on the printed label.
All standard configurations appear to be fixed sights (no adjustable or night sights) with the possible exception of the Special mentioned previously.
