Please Talk Me Down From The Leadge
 
So for lunch I went to my favorite gun store and in the case they had a stunning 3" Member Raptor in stainless steel.

The trigger on it was really sweet very crisp with no creep.

True or not - They guy there told me that the Raptor was the on 1911 that Member makes that is from a forging for both the slide and receiver?

I do not need the gun but I have been lusting after a 3" 1911 for a while now and I am thinking of celebrating my new job with a purchase of this gun.

Clyde - Let the beating begin. :kick: :slap:

Check out the offerings from STI berore you do anything rash:) I don't have anything by them in my collection, but I've read so many good things about them. Having said that I used to have 5 Kimbers, the 5" Eclypse was a fantastic shooter. My 5" Raptor shot very well also. Anyhow, I tried to talk you down:) Mike

If you are going to jump, don't do it from the ground floor. Throw all caution out the window and buy a Brown, Novak, Baer or Wilson. If your daughter is getting married, she won't need her college fund and, what the heck, retirement is over rated. Spend the money now....

Did that help, or are you still on the ledge? :)

Go Ahead and take the Leap Into The Never Ending Pit of Hell with your Beloved Mimbers.....................

MajO to late I paid for her education already, but the wedding maybe a different subject - maybe. :eek:

As far as retirement I have done that twice already, working on my third.

Cooler heads may prevail, after my wife kicks me in it. :kick:

That is the Clyde that I know. :D

Stop messing around with our heads, Mike. You are the one about to get run around the flagpole for your daughter's wedding, not us :D

Don't let these clowns turn you into a closet Mimber lover. Either get the STI (i have an Off-Duty and it's 1st class) or wait for the ECO which will be out right after SHOT.

I still think you are playing with us - a weak, limp, short Mimber - Jeez!
