I saw a used Kimber today with the C&S SFS installed. You know, the hammer mechanism that lets you push up the hammer and when you take the thumb safety off the hammer cocks.

The price was right and I may buy it, but before I do,any opinions?

Oh and I posted this hoping that I'd get a quick response Mike and Steve. If you feel that you need to move it please do so.

Thanks

I have one on teh Hi-Power I'm selling.
It's a decent system, but mainly geared towards those not comfortable with the appearance of the cocked hammer. The spring is still under cocked-pressure when forward, so it doesn't save that.
The only real problem with me is that I'm used to pushing the safety up when I load the gun, so it's something different.

I just handled a High Standard "G Man" pistol with the SFS system last week. For me, the need to push the hammer instead of thumbing the lever to engage the safety makes things too complicated.

I thought long and hard about having my BHP converted to the C&S system. I talked twice to them, and finally decided it was an overly complicated and unnatural solution to a non existant problem.

Friend has one on a BHP. Damn cool engineering, but I really gotta ask the why? question.
