:facepalm2: Don't even want to know.

Probably not............I want to try some hand checkering, bob the tail, and melt the hard edges. Better to do it to a cheaper gun than any of the big dogs (plus, they already have these features). I like to tinker, got it from my father.

I am saving up for a Valor or an Executive for the near future, though. <-----------Any brownie points for that? :D

Bite me, Doc...refer to the Dress Blues picture :D

Welcome to Feeding Time at the COTEP Zoo...:wf::sheep:

Don't forget your Kimber robe for the Thursday nite sacrifices.

Joke: what's the difference between a Kimber and a Dan Wesson? About $800.

Newb question............ Do all Kimbers have MIM parts?

Pretty much....but so do other mass produced pistols. Wilson even used to use some MIM, long ago and far away. The semi custom's got away from it. Kimber just got a bad rap from bad MIM molding years ago, and it stuck. Their problem now seems to be spending more money on advertising then they do quality control. I own an '02 or '03 Tactical Pro II, and after replacing the barrel link, it never misses a beat...but out of the box it wouldn't even load hardball

I don't know what year mine is but, I have had no issues of any kind with it (neither did the previous owner). Of course, I have never run it hard.

I just like the "style" that Kimber puts out in their pistols. I especially like the Raptor series but, I think my money would be wisely spent elsewhere. IDK.

The Eclipse I picked up last month was built on my birthday in 2011 ... I don't think I'll ever part with that one! The previous owner said he only put about twenty rounds through it. I intend to remedy that real soon!

And figure out what needs fixed after that, of course :D

It'll run like a top, dirty that thing up!
