So i finally got a chance to shoot the kimber. Man, what a gun i love the way it shoots. I must say after shooting a hk 9mm,xd 40,millenium pro 45, and taurus judge all in the same day the kimber blew them away. I am no sharp shooter but i tore the 10 ring apart at ten yards. I must admit it was fun shooting 410 slugs out of "the judge" though.

Now you have to change your screen name.

Good to hear...when you spend a pretty penny on something its always nice to love after you try it out.

Which model Kimber were you shooting?

Congrats ! I have 2 Kimber .45's (among others), and they are both very accurate.
The more you get to shoot yours, the more you'll like it..... if that's possible.

I have three myself and I love every one of them.

Two Kimbers in my collection here, love both and the carry rotation currently has one in my holster. I can live without a Kimber but I wouldn't want to.

+1 for Kimber. I have a Custom TLE II. Great shooting pistol.

I was able to get out today and shoot both my Kimber Custom Target II and My Taurus PT 1911. The Kimber's okay; however, I've yet to see where it's worth that much more than a Taurus PT 1911. Somebody help me, I must be a really big dufous.

I also shot my beloved SA Compact LW 1911

That is why there are different models, manufacturers, and pricing - we can each find the one that fits and works for us!

Very nice. I ask about the model because I have been considering treating myself to a high end 1911, and I have been looking at the Kimbers very closely. I am waffleing between the Kimber SIS and the Sig TTT. Tough choices. I am getting tons of positive feedback from Kimber shooters but I am having a tough time finding shooters with a lot of Sig 1911 experience. This is starting to push me into the Kimber camp, although I do love Sig. Congrats on your purchase.

I have 1 Kimber, a Custom II full size, and a second one order (an Ultra II CDP). Great handguns!

Regarding one of the posts, above, I believe that Kimber is discontinuing the SIS model in 2010. I am sure however that they can still be found. The only reason that I know for discontinuing the SIS is that some complained that using the "SIS" initials on the slide instead of the normal cocking serrations made the slide feel slippery.
