New Kimber 45

[nmedge]

Had to go today to get my stitches removed from my arm. I got there early so I walked across the street to the LGS. I found a Kimber LW Shadow Ghost that seemed to talk to me. Old boss gave it to me at a great price so I put some money down on it and told him I would pick it up in a couple of weeks. This is a stock picture of it. I have had Kimbers before and really never gave me any issues. This will close out my purchasing year for firearms.

Clean and simple, all business, I like.

Some of Kimber's new 1911 designs are a wee bit over the top for me. And by a 'wee bit' I mean a shiteload.

ironically...

i am strongly considering taking mine to the LGS tomorrow in fact, where i bought it, and sell it back.

it's the Custom II two tone.

great gun, shoots incredibly great, but i ain't shooting it as much as all my others.

Thanks. I hate all the new bling models they have put out recently.

Don't you just love it when guns talk to you? I own a couple of Kimbers and have no issues with them. They are my range guns, nothing fancy, and they shoot really nice. Congrats!!

LGS owner once said, "it's all gimmicks".

put on a shiny piece of metal, and it'll change the look, and garner more money.

I too am strongly thinking about downsizing, especially after the recent Ed Brown (prob’ly really shouldn’t have, but I’m not getting any younger)…and that other post about ammo prices going up.

Awesome pistol. but if yer tryin to catch @BET7 you can forget it.

well that's the thing..i had at one time "enmassed" 40 guns, all pistols.

but then, to keep them in the rotation that i have set up, it can be weeks before one gets into that rotation.

then too, it's not a matter of range or club time, i got that, but i have other things too, like reloading, to keep up with and then things to do upkeep with on the house...and no, i ain't getting any younger either.

i am not losing interest, i just want to "cull the herd", maybe down to about 15 total.

Question….since you got your stitches out and bought the Kimber….so when I get out of surgery and recovering, does this mean I can go hog wild and get me something new….Maybe a couple?

Forgot to say: Cont, ‘medge !!!

I’m not a Kimber guru, but I admire the look of that one !

Man NM, it seem like every other thread on here is a new firearm you've purchased, I'm getting jealous . I have several 1911 Kimbers, but I must admit I like the bling and have Rapides in 9mm, 45 and 10mm (plus a 45 Custom II SS and plain 9mm 1911). Congrats on your purchase, it's very nice.

I give you my permission Anni, get as many as you want!! I know it won't be any Yeet Cannons as @10mmLife and @Belt Fed seem to be cornering the market on collecting those

 

[BET7]

I don't know about this. I'm getting very concerned with You, Bella D, NMedge and others adding copious amounts of firearms into their collections recently. I better getting moving or I'll be toast.
