CS9 is another option. Being the DAO nut that I am, mine are a couple of CS9D's that took a little luck to run down. The size differential between the CS9 and the 3953 is miniscule and I really prefer the 3953. One more round, the trigger's a little better and it looks better to my eye. The Chief's Special does have second strike capability but I really don't see that as much of a benefit. I was hoping the CS9 was enough smaller than the 3953 to be useful for pocket carry, but not in any of my pockets. If it's gonna ride a holster it might just as well be a 3953.
