I have no idea of the model, but the fish scale grips may have replaced originals. It's a lightweight full size 9mm model with fiber optic front sight. It's marked Stainless LW. I've not owned a Kimber, but for $450 it could be good. I'm gonna look for some reviews and see what I find. I'm gonna need some mags so suggestions would be appreciated. No bumper pads, just reliable for not much money. I've had good luck with .45, but never had a 9.

LW for light weight, but it is in the style/coloring of a custom II

Just got in from shoveling the driveway. The tractor is in the shop in Fargo for maintenance (great timing, right?). The neighbor came up the road to blow out the end with his tractor because the town plow left a heck of a ridge at the end of the driveway. I am sure glad he came to help me because I tried to take out my ribcage with the handle of the snow shovel. Sudden stops suck. :cautious:

Just if you get it, be careful taking it down, DO NOT TOUCH THE GRIP SAFETY when doing it or it will lock the slide to the frame all thanks the the Swartz safety, both my Kimber 1911’s shot great, my 9mm is very nice
 
I called CS 3 times with a busy signal. Huh? I tried again later and got a recorded menu and then on to CS. It's a Gray Guard model manf. 3-9-2022. The guy couldn't say if the fish scale grips were stock or not. I took it down and it was very tight. There was some slight finish wear on the bottom of the frame rails and just a touch on the bottom of the inner slide maybe an inch before the disconnector. The aluminum frame appeared to be unused. I wiped it down and lubed it and cycled 6 rounds through it without firing. Sling shotting loaded them all. I don't think it was fired much. I couldn't load 9 rounds easily in the mag. I did order 4 MecGar mags and later bought 5 boxes of ammo at Cal-Ranch I saw on sale locally (Blazer brass @ $10.99). Since the manual called for 400-500 rounds of FMJ for break in and I didn't know what its' round count was, it couldn't hurt.
Merry Christmas wifey, I hope it works for you..
 
Just got a call from a guy I used to sell cars with. He has his own business now and wanted to know if i wanted to drive up to Albuquerque tomorrow to drive some vehicles he purchased at auction back here. The pay is great and they buy lunch! I said sure, breaks up my boredom. He said if I like doing it I could do it 2-3 times a month.

Congrats!
 
Just finishing up my second cup. It snowed heavily last night, but my neighbor graciously blew out my driveway this morning for me. The man deserves a case of his favorite beer!

My ribs are sore but not horrible like I thought they would be - guess I'm in better shape than I thought. I have to drive into Moorhead for a jab this afternoon. My TDap is overdue. I got all those needles right before I immigrated here and it has been ten years so...
After that I will do some last minute Christmas shopping, and I have to pick up some Guinness if I want to make my stew tomorrow (I've been hankering for one for a bit anyway and the stew is a good excuse also 🙂). Gotta top up the fuel tank too. It's hovering around -7 degrees today and I don't like running below half a tank when it's this cold.
 
Good Morning All, I'd love your insight on an issue about a swivel leg strap for holster re sitting in wheelchair. Arbor Arms has a swivel-push button off leg strap attachment. It is shown with a special attachment piece but can I mount to this holster hole? Love the looks of the Swive-Lock as I can wear pants & strap or a dress and snap off bottom of attachment. Have watched many videos re how much a strap helps a smooth draw and sitting it would really help. What are your thoughts of attaching with the cloth piece to Eclipse 2.0 hole? Thanks for always taking time for me. Blessings. Hope add on gives a chuckle.

Got back from shooting CAS and a stop for wings and beer. Watched a bit of the Chiefs game and home for the Steelers/Ravens game. It was great weather, chilly in the morning warming up to mid-70's. A bigger crowd than expected so it took longer to finish. I told a guy who works in a gun store about my Kimber LW purchase. He said he liked Kimber and said he had half a dozen or more and liked them. He also said I got a steal since his price would have been $500-550 with his store discount. I feel better after hearing that. Life is good. :)
