Sorry, Haven't been on computer, been huntin, first day moose, saw several cows; early subsistence season, moose don't move much until September. Jumped out with AR 10 after blk bear running up the road, but he dived off the road and couldn't see him in the brush, completely forgot about the kimber on the trk dash, nutty. Caribou that are usually here in the thousands are about 100 miles North of us this year, but they will more than likely move down this way in a week or two. I'm going back out behind house right before dark for this bull I have seen out and about, maybe get lucky.

Anyway, I appreciate all the help with these 1911's. With the Kimber the light is low also with the fixed sight but it can be adjusted. I'm ordering a Novak for Kimber.

The Rock Island is an inch longer that Kimber, might have something to do with it also.

More than anything, might be operator error along with more needed practice.

Thanks again to everybody, got to kill a moose one of these nx few times out.
