The CS v3 pairs a compact 1911-style, single-action, locked-breech operating system with a stainless steel bull barrel and a flush crown for durability and consistent lockup. The fully captured 3.5 in Dawson Precision tool-less recoil system is tuned for the platform, supporting the 16+1 capacity in 9mm Luger.
Built on a 7075 aluminum frame, this pistol includes an accessory rail with one cross-slot for a light or other compatible accessory. Controls include a left-side magazine release, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety. A skeletonized, curved trigger with lightening windows and a skeletonized commander-style hammer round out the fire-control setup.
The tri-top slide features front and rear cocking serrations and a lowered/flared ejection port. It is cut at the rear for optics, with exposed mounting holes and recoil bosses. Sights consist of a red fiber-optic front and a black rear carry notch, providing a clear, daylight-friendly sight picture.
Grip texture and control are enhanced by the textured polymer grip with the molded Staccato star. As a CS v3, this example reflects later production updates, and the CS line was noted as discontinued on November 21, 2025. Made in the USA.
