Solid choice.
I have about 500 rounds without a single failure. It’s the best shooting compact pistol I’ve owned. I was just at Scheels and they had new a Blem CS. It surprised me to see one at a retail store.

I watched a less skilled shooter over 12 stages of a match with a CS. He wasn't great at manipulations. Interestingly, I did not see a single stoppage with the pistol, which I take as a strong indication of the reliability of the CS.
Due to the new 9mm dimensioned magazine, I suspect the CS may be even more reliable. I shot mine today, about 50 rounds no problems. I shot it like dog poop, but I don't have an optic on it yet. That may be a bit unfair, but irons, especially back up irons, are an emergency procedure for me any more.
The magazines feel lovely -- as good as any magazine I have seen, including HK.
I zeroed my CS today with a Holosun 407 CO. It shot surprisingly well, and the pistol is growing on me. I would like to have the grip safety tuned a bit more and take 1/2 pound off the trigger.
I had mine out today in the 79 degree weather. I shoot the CS well. Shortly after I bought it, I sent my CS back to Texas to have my grip safety tuned. It was hanging up intermittently when I gripped the gun. It is perfect now. I don’t have the expertise to work on 2011.
I just disassembled it to lube it as it appeared fairly dry from the factory. Disassembly and reassembly was the easiest of any 2011 I have had.
I had zeroed the CS with Lawman 124. Shot exactly one freestyle group at 25 today with the CS and HST 124+P. I thing a CS and C combo will be the hot ticket.
