Here's the result of the first outing with it. Approx 40 rounds of practice ball ammo, 7 yrds. Me likie, a lot.
Now for the story. I never had much of a desire for a 1911, though I've been lusting for a GSR for some time now. Anyway, my 15yo son has been bugging me for some time now for a 1911, as he developed a real thing for them over the last several months. Last time we were at the Dulles gun show, he says, "Dad, if I find a 1911 I really like, would you buy it for me, and I'll pay you back?" What else could I say, but of course.
So last week I tell this story to a co-worker that I knew was a Kimber enthusiast and had several in the past, and to my surprise, he said he had one he'd sell me for $600. I think this is a pretty good price for this model Kimber. When i brought it home and showed my son, his response was OMFG!!!! I think I hit a home run with him.
My son is at a church retreat this weekend. When I told him I was going to take it to the range this weekend, his response was "I hate you".
After the first outing with it, I now see what all the fuss has been about a 1911 trigger. Like my son said, OMFG! I can feel the 1911 disease starting to take hold. Might have to get one for CC. Too many guns out there, not enough money.
