I traded a guy a model 70 30/06 for this. It is what I believe to be a series one Kimber compact stainless. Hardly shot at all and very little wear. The frame is also stainless. I had an extra rifle and wanted another 45, so I am happy, he was too, so we both won. I don’t like the grips, so he is going to buy me a set for it, just not crazy about wrap around grips. It shoots really nice and I don’t even really feel it when I carry it. This will probably end up being my edc.
