I did it again, added a new gun... Kimber Raptor Pro

Can't beat a Raptor......

Be careful that you don't get addicted to Wilsons or Nighthawks. It's even worse
PS The CT grips are fine.. I put them on anything I carry.. Too farsighted to see the front sight but I see the target just fine. They make a HUGE difference in my accuracy.

Thanks for the props. I do like the CTs. I think the new Master series wood one look nice on the Raptor.

Very nice pistol!!! I havent really seen the reason to buy a Kimber pistol yet, especially not for that price, but then again i have never shot one. Is there a difference between a Kimber, Smith, Ruger, Colt, or Springfield???

My experience is with S&W and Kimber. The Kimber at $1k is definitely built better than the S&W1911PD that I had. But for $250 more it should be. It is very well built and smooth to shoot.
I have two S&W 1911 Performance Center 1911s that I think are a tick better than the Kimber Raptor. But they go for around 1500, so they should be. They are also 5" not 4" and have adjustable Wilson sights.

Both the Perf Ctr and Kimber have very exact tolerances. All are very accurate and reliable. My only gripe with the Kimber is the need for the stupid tool to disassemble.

That's what I would like to have, a nice piece.
