Smith & Wesson .45 ACP CS45 Chiefs Special Sub Compact Night Sights 7 Shot Lightweight Stainless S&W 45 Automatic Cincinnati Hamilton County Sheriffs Dept

Here is an attractive specimen of the best ever .45 ACP Lightweight Compact, the smallest variant that Smith & Wesson ever produced of its tried-and-true 4500 series pistols. This is the CS45 .45 ACP Chief's Special. S&W sku is / was 103014. The CS-45 was launched in 1998 and continued in production until 2006, the year that it was lamentably discontinued, victim of the sea of plastic that gained a foothold in the mid 1980s, about the same time that Smith & Wesson entered the .45 ACP market with this one's distinguished ancestor, the Model 645. From this one’s EKZ serial number prefix, it was manufactured in 1999, Second Year of Production. This pistol spent its brief career serving and protecting our fellow citizens in Cincinnati and Hamilton County under the supervision of Prosecutor-turned-Sheriff, the Honorable Simon L. Leis, Jr. Type is blowback or recoil operated, traditional double- and single-action semi automatic. From a resting hammer, the first shot is a long smooth double action motion, and the hammer stands for single action shooting after the first shot, until the operator puts the car in park by engaging the ambidextrous main safety, which also serves as a decocker. Construction is specially coated white alloy frame, with steel internal parts and black anodized furniture, including the .305 smooth faced combat trigger, and .260 bobbed hammer. It has a total of 3 safeties, adding a firing pin safety and magazine safety to the main one. Weight empty is less than 27 oz; barrel length is 3 inches; magazine capacity is 6 + 1; slide thickness is a very thin 1.02 inches; height with magazine inserted is only 5 inches; and overall length is only 6 5/8 inches from the muzzle to the grip frame strut. Surface detractions are only moderate, with edge scouring and buffing on the right panel of its original Hogue factory grip with S&W Logo. We rate this pistol as Very Good, close to Excellent, 85 percent by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, should suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves.
