Christmas gift - The Firearms Forum

Wife said she got it for $449. 3 weeks ago it was priced at $525 I'm hoping to shoot it tomorrow.

I have been reading good things on this gun and it fits my hand great.

I took a couple hours this morning and went to the range with the toys I bought my self and it was a good day even though it was nasty weather

a friend of mine alan fron gulf breeze bought one just like it last month. i got to shoot it last weekend, the pistol was very impressive on fit and accuracy.
from what i have seen and shot his you can't go wrong.

A couple flyer's but all-in-all a good outing.

I think every gun I have has it's quirks. Just have to get used to them. I think the target was 25 yards out. I also think the mags that came with the Taurus could be better. This is the second outing with the Kimber. I'm really liking it! At the range where i shoot they sold me some rounds that don't kick much, like night and day compared to off the shelf rounds. I think they have a contract with this reload company that makes/reloads rounds for them.

Looks like it does just fine.
Remember to feed it well.........and often.
