    I'm done with Kimber.  I ordered the Rapide Black Ice in 10mm at a gun shop I visit.  After waiting over six months, and nothing happening, I canceled the order and got myself a P220 Legend in 10mm, and that is one beautiful gun.  BTW, I was told I would get the Kimber in two months...

    Greed overcomes all doubt....

    something to consider.... those people that are in the position to make decisions like that are someones kids/grandkids/parents or neighbors....just something to consider....

    In 38 Esuper too? 
    Aim higher, or get a bigger gun.

    Best looking rifle I ever owned was a Kimber Pro-Varmint in 22 250, bull, black fluted stainless barrel, mated to a blued controlled rd feed receiver.
     Laminate stock the same colour as the Sako Grey Wolf.

    I first saw it in a copy of American Rifleshooter which I used to subscribe to.
    Immediately ordered it, my dealer told me I had the first one in New Zealand. 

    Traded a Tikka 595 in the same caliber for it.
    Tikka was a third of the price. 
    I loved that Kimber , took me years before I could bring myself to sell it.

    I used to see  the guy who bought the Kimber every now and then at shoots
    Last time I saw him, maybe 2  years ago he still had it for the same reason I did.

    Beautiful rifle , Not a good shooter.

    I’ve never had anything but great results from Kimber but I’ll admit my last handgun purchase was 4 years ago when my wife gifted me an UltraRaptor which is a great gun.  

    My wife still has her original pre firing pin safety UltraCarry (not a II) and that gun is still going strong after thousands of rounds and is still one of the most accurate 1911s I’ve ever fired.

    I have yet to fire my new 6.5 Creed Hunter but I bought that gun so I’d have a mountain ultralight option so I’m not concerned with it delivering anything but Minute of Deer accuracy for 2 consecutive shots.

    That’s probably where the idea came from…

    I figure I'll just take a rust-speckled mil-spec and engrave the name "El Janitor" on it with an icepick.

    Whilst it's not my thing, I can kind of appreciate the more unsophisticated Mexican guns that can be seen from the revolutionary period, lot of d/a Colt's and S&W revolvers carved up by some charro with crude tools, I look at it as the equivalent of trench art
    We see a lot of Maori carving on gunstocks here, varying from good to bad. 

    I think this stuff is called Naive Art, and it can be really neat in context.

    Funnily enough, the more skilled and "refined" the person or factory doing it is, the more effort applied, the worse it looks, as evidenced by the above.

    And gold plated guns just look like rubbish anyway.
