Merry Christmas to me...

I just thought I'd share, this is my new Kimber Custom II .45. I've replaced the MSH with a "stainless chain-link" style, the grips with cocobolo full sized, and a stainless magwell. Lastly, a set of Trijicon night sights (the stock black ones sucked), custom VZ grip screws and front strap. Post up your pics of your 1911s.

 

how much that little guy set ya back?

 

I am liking that weapon boy

 

I bought the gun off of Gunbroker.com (through my cousins pawn shop) for $653.00 shipped. The sights were $99.00 with $35.00 extra installed by my gunsmith, grips were $39.00, magwell/MSH was $56.00, VZ custom grip screws were $19.00 and the front strap was $7.00 for three. I installed everything but the sights, so I guess the grand total was $813.00.

 

I looked hard at some Springfield stuff, mainly a A1 Loaded, could not find one in stock, and it seems a lot of the newer stuff from Springfield is made in Brazil, a big turn off for me.

 

Thanks, I'm liking it too. I have had it for a month or so, I have 300 rds through it. I just got it back from the smithy for the sights install. I have a few other pistols, H&K, Sig, Walther and a couple or Rugers. Hell, I even have a KelTec .380 that goes everywhere with me. I know it's not the ideal weapon of choice but, I'll take it over any knife that I know of...

 

BTW the knife, is a Microtech Socom Elite auto, in a tanto grind.

 

A 1911 has been on my wish list for awhile. Congrats on owning one!

 

Magwells are nice to have. Interesting on the frontstrap.. if it's skateboard tape why didn't they finish it under the grip panels?

 

Very nice. I am also curious as to the price.
And I think the only thing made in or from brazil on the operator is the cocobolo grips. It also has the trijicon tritium nitesights which I understand is the only company in the world who has a patent/permission to use nuclear waste for use as nite sights.

 

Here's a better pic of Lurry's "Operator" and my G36.
Hafta find a pic of my original colt 1911A1 that my Granpap was givin for escaping a german pow camp back in the day.

 

I've wrestled with buying a Kimber for years! Love 'em. Altho now, I must...









hate you.

 

It's a rubberized skate tape, and the shape and size was what was sent to me, I installed it.

 

Im very much jealous. Nice man!

 

Beautiful piece t4daddy.

I carry this daily.
Taurus Duo-tone 1911. Love it. Works flawlessly.
