Can't believe it, but I bought my first Kimber. It's a lightly used Stainless Target 9mm. I've got to say, at $850 it seems like a good buy. The fit is extremely tight and it operates smooth as silk. The trigger is a bit heavy for my taste, but I'll take care of that. Looking forward to a range session now.

Welcome to the cult. Remember to wear your Kimber robe to the next sacrifice.

It's Thursday and a wanton Glock will be sacrificed in flame!

Nice looking piece. I've got two Kimbers and I like them both.

Thanks fellas. That's an extra special set of grips. They are for sale, but my feelings are not hurt at all they haven't sold. They weren't really priced to sell anyway.

I have officially sold all of my 1911s in 45. I've slowly been replacing them with 9mm and 10mm. Thinking about getting a matching gun in 10mm like this one.
