New Kimber Owner!

[Clint Tickler]

At lunch today I went and bought a spanking new Kimber Gold Match in stainless. I've got a couple Hi-Powers and revolvers but this is my first 1911. Needless to say I'm pretty excited and will be looking forward to some shooting this coming weekend. Just had to tell someone.

Welcome to the 1911. My first 1911 was also a Gold Match, although mine is the Classic (blued). I love the rascal, although it's finicky about what it will feed. But the accuracy and the SWEET trigger are wonderful.

Damn!!! Take ME to lunch and treat ME to the same.. Congrats on your first 1911 purchase..

I'm very happy with my 3 month old blued Classic Custom. I'm starting to see what those 1911 junkies are talking about.

Bought the same gun a few months ago. It eats any ammo just fine.
I ordered two Chip McCormick "Power Mags" in 10 rd and one in 8rd to copy the factory mag. Same as factory, but stronger springs. Spray them inside with Break-Free CLP and it's easier to load them up. I also polished the ramp and the back of the slide release as it was scratching the slide. Also, a pair of Hogue grips with finger bumps. They look nice & are comfy.

It's my first real pistol & my friend says I'm already shooting competitive accuracy! (Competitive but losing )

WOOHOO!

Make sure you get some Wilson mags for it and a range report please when you shoot it!

Congrats!

Congratulations, Clint. It's a fine pistol. I've got around 10,000 rounds through the same model. There were some feeding problems early on, but now it digests all my reloads without a hiccup. Very accurate, too.

Welcome to the 1911 family. You will now be able to see what we have all been talking about when it comes to the incredible design and functionality of the 1911. I am sure you will have a great time with your pistol.
