What about a S&W CS 9

Smokin deal! I'd still try to haggle. $235? But I wouldn't leave without it!

You would have stolen it if you got it at that price.

Nice ccw pistol. Long discontinued but top quality as are all 3rd gen S&W. You may find the CS9 or CS45 in both traditional and double action only variants. Parts can still be found in places.

I used to have one. I couldn't get used to the upside down safety or the sticky rubber grips.
Also at the time there was pretty much no after market support for this gun.

Buy it! If I saw one for $450, I'd buy it. I had a black one and it was fantastic! Shot great and carried wonderfully. Don't worry about the safety, just keep it off. The DA/SA is safety enough. I wish I had never sold it.

Great deal at that price! Very nice compact 9mm.

Some say the S&W CS9 is the best pistol for conceal carry. You better get back there ASAP.

Where is is LSG you speak of.

They are nice guns, always were. Someone is going to enjoy it, but I doubt it'll be you Anytime anyone finds a gun like this for what is obviously a great price and snoozes, it's almost always gone by the time they go back to try and get it. That's just the way it works.

As to the CS9 itself, while they are excellent guns, I've found that they are not significantly smaller than a 3913/14. The thick Hogue rubber grips (as supplied by the factory) relegate them to belt carry, and if you're going to have to schlep it on a belt holster, then the slightly longer grip of the 3913 makes more sense, as it is easier to grab and offers you an extra round of mag capacity.

I really like the stainless & alloy 3rd gen 9mm compacts. I would buy a VG+, decently priced CS9 in a heartbeat.
