Show off your 1911

Budget? There is no category for guns in a budget! It does not apply.

This is TRUE. I've seen my gun budget rise and fall and I never have the budget for another gun, but it always seems to find its way home with me.

Very nice pick up. Your going to love the bull barrel shooting experience. Softer with increased barrel weight. 2 Kimbers in my safe 1911 & 2K11. Both great running accurate pistols out of the box.

I hope.. This is my first Kimber. I wouldn't have considered one a few years ago, but Kimber seems to have turned itself around with quality. I will say this, this gun has one of the tightest frame to slide/ smoothest slide that I've ever seen in a factory gun.

He works magic on a 1911

Turning it into a frog doesn't count.

Here’s my old Kimber I bought new in mid 90s. Taken a renewed interest in Kimber since they moved to my home state. The NG is a sharp looking pistol.

I have one just like it! Those Oregon guns are tight as a virgin with outstanding accuracy!

Looks good. All original? I had a gunsmith checker the front strap on mine so that required re-blue . Replaced plastic MSH, grips and grip screws. Can’t remember if it came new with FLGR? If it did I replaced that. That’s about it. Good shooter.

2004 vintage Ultra Compact, just got it back from SA after a "few" upgrades. Much nicer now.

All original with the exception grips and a 20# Wilson flat coil recoil spring.
