Good things come in small packages-CS9D

[Ernest.T.Bass]

My dealer called. My Gunbroker goodies were in. I had done some bidding and apparently my timing was good. I wound up with a CS9D and a Star Ultrastar in 9mm.

The CS9D. This pistol was even better than I could have hoped for. Internally, it was sticky, varnishy. Like 10 year old WD40, if you have every observed that. Externally, at least 95% mint. It was in the original box with both mags and all paperwork. One mag has never been inserted or fired that I can tell. The gun has been shot, but based on the patterns and slide rails, I don't think more than one magazine at most. I am very happy.

Incidentally, I got a Star Ultrastar in the exact same condition, original box, paperwork and manuals for $250 shipped. Picked it up at the same time.

I was a good day. I think the economy is pushing people to put treasures up for sale.

Good things come in small packages. My CS9D and Tacoma M-1 Acoustic Madolin

The Star Ultrastar, for our Spanish friends.

Action shot this evening of the CS9. 8 shots (1 mag and 1 in the pipe) 7 yards. Standing, from a Weaver Ready.

Any body know what my options are to add night sights to a CS9?

The comic drawing says even a drop of water in the barrel could cause a "burst or bulge." Anybody heard of that? Never happens to the military, does it?

Love the CS9! Are you going to carry it?

[mousegunner]

Just curious, was it hard to remove the "varnish" from the interior of the gun?

[Ernest.T.Bass]

Hoppe #9 and some denatured alcohol.

Yes, but the Kahr is quite a bit thinner. I tried a couple of Kahrs, but could not trust my self with the reliability. Perhaps they have improved.

I have only had one malfunction on a 3rd gen smith. It was a failure to feed. It was my fault. I accidentally got a .380 ACP round in the magazine of a 6906. It fired, but did not feed the next round.
