I just arranged for the S&W Custom Shop to convert my CS45 to self-decockin g (DAO). I sent it to them on a Monday and had the gun back in my hands on Thursday. Master pistol smith, Jim Seifert, as always did a wonderful job.

The pistol no longer has a decocking lever. Trigger pull is ten pounds and short. Reset is deep, and there is no second-strike capability, but S&W can convert any of their pistols, and the process is fast!

Friend Brian Hoffner made one of his wonderful "Minimalist" IWB holsters for me, and the little pistol carries well.

S&W has some really good people. We expect them to get back into the mainstream. We all want them right back up there with Glock and SIG.
