Just a quick story. This weekend I went to the range with a friend. We're both really into certain types of guns. He loves the 1911 design. He has a P238 for pocket carry (which I argue isn't really a 1911). He has a Dan Wesson full size 1911, and he had just bought a Kimber Ultra Carry.
I'm into Smith revolvers, plain and simple.
Per usual, if you don't shoot revolvers often, you're not good at shooting revolvers in double action. He was all over the place.
On the other hand, I've fired a grand total of maybe 20 rounds out of a 1911 in the last 20 years. I grabbed the Kimber and put down a 3 inch group at 7 yards.
Granted, part of this is the solid design of the 1911, and the nice interpretation by Kimber. We're pretty equal shooters, but I'm always amazed at how revolver training has made me a versatile shooter.
Not going to the lie though, shooting that Kimber made me want one. It's a great piece, however the rubber grip panels are ridiculous and would need to be replaced.
