The Governor Called
« on: September 19, 2010, 06:24:59 PM »
So it's been coming for a while now...a need to change things up.  I've wanted a Kimber/1911 for a long time now.  So the local gun show was in full gear.  I went looking for a Kimber and to lighten my CZ load.  I packed up a P-01 and a 97b.  Some dealers wanted no parts of a CZ trade.  Kinda sad.  All dealers admitted they are great guns, but these are businessmen, and I get it.  It's simply a shame that more people don't understand how much better a CZ is than a ____ (insert your favorite arch-rival).

Long story short, after much soul searching, I walked in with 2 guns and left with 2 guns.  But I got my Kimber  ;)

I was very tempted to do a 2-for-1, but couldn't part with the 97.  The 97 is a big piece of steel, but I couldn't let it go.  So the scorecard is still heavily CZ with a 97, 40-P and 75b.  The new addition is a basic Kimber Custom II.  I loved the P-01, but when I had to pick, I always choose the 40-P first, so the P-01 needed to go.

The 97 was very nearly gone, but the governor called and was granted a reprieve.

Congrats on the new 1911.  I'm a Dan Wesson man myself but Kimber is a fine gun.
