Not to get off track, but I saw a lady from Tok shoot her caribou with a 1911 from truck window about a week back, ha. Pretty cool, I had the same idear but never got the close shot. I now wish I had stopped and taken her picture as we know the old girl as I've talked to her past years. The grandma is always driving her grandkids 150 miles up the road to where the caribou are so they can get one; wish my grandma had done the same for me when I was 10.

Just out of curiousity, have you changed the sights on your Kimber yet?

My 2 Rocks have both been shooters as well. I have a 5'' A1 model and the 3.5'' Compact Tactical. Their both keepers.

The only Kimber that I have ever fired was at my local range. A guy next to me let me fire a magazine through it. It had a pretty nice trigger pull and I shot it pretty well. Sorry to hear that yours is so far off, must be frusterating.

I hope you had good luck with your hunt. Never knew they used .45's for caribou up there.
