knightRider · 06-22-2007, 04:44 PM

i am about to purchase a kimber 1911 for 500 BUCKS thats right 500 BIGONES

i dont know the model yet my friends in need of some cash so ill post more on this soon !!!

SilverRun · 06-22-2007, 04:54 PM

So long as it is in decent shape and is not the polymer frame one that is a good deal for any Kimber. The Custom II's run in the high $600's new. That is the one I have, and it is awesome! Let us know what you got!

Beer Forever · 06-22-2007, 04:55 PM

I think that $500 for most any Kimber is more than fair, depending on the condition of course. If it is the Custom II then well done.

ArkansasHunter · 06-22-2007, 05:04 PM

I was at the Kimber web site yesterday and if you can buy your friends for 500 dollars verse's a new one you got a great deal as Howe would say on Deal or no Deal game show.
Those pistols are exspensive!!! And you get what you pay for...my 2 cents...A.H

ArkansasHunter · 06-24-2007, 11:28 AM

Have you had the beretta px4 out any more shooting it ? If so is it digesting what you've shot thru it and is it accurate ?

knightRider · 06-24-2007, 11:32 AM

heck yeah A.H. i shoot once every week atleast , the px4 still rocks and rolls , the new steyr i just shot last night and it was sweet also i do a range report on it when i have time to really shoot it.

TexasT · 06-24-2007, 11:34 AM

knightRider · 06-27-2007, 12:59 PM

well guys it shoots just like they say it will perfect!!!! man i love my guns!

Summerleas · 06-30-2007, 01:40 PM

Silver Run...what do you have against the Kimber polymer frame gun BP TENs. I have one and love it....shoots more accurate than I can hold it, weighs less than an alloy or steel frame, holds many more rounds, and has better texturing on the grips that any stock 1911 I have held. Its my favorite gun, so what do you have to say about it? Let us know why you hate something instead of just saying so.

Home Defender · 07-15-2007, 11:00 AM

Sounds like a great deal if they kept it clean and maintained. I love Kimbers, I have 2 a pro carry and a Raptor. The kimbers seem to shoot about as well as any 1911's out there except for smoothness of trigger they are very close to custom from what I have experianced. Nice and tight frame to slide, barrel bushing and all. I am looking at getting a Wilson Combat Classic or a Night Hawk GRP.
