Two or three years ago I went through another phase. First, it was Earth Tone guns, and second I wanted a couple of "Rail" guns, with the bottom rail on the frame. I had been working with the Crimson Trace laser on all the AR guns, and very impressed with its performance. I had yet to discover the thinner grips that Crimson Trace has, plus I just wanted to give these a go anyway. I got the hots of course for the Earth Tone Kimber, I forget what they call it. So I got one in, and put the Crimson Trace on it. Today it is the gun that sits next to my bed, and the first line of defense should I not be able to get to the 10.5 inch 300 BLK that also sits next to my bed. Now I can't figure out why I wouldn't be able to get the 300 BLK, because my hand lands on it first the few times that I have been on alert status. But anyway, its there.......It has been tested, fired, and put thru a few hoops to make sure all is good..........It is also a pretty slick gun.........
Yes, I know, I have a rep, if one is good, two is REAL GOOD….. But this time, I got to looking at a second gun, its home next to my TV Chair on a table. But I kinda liked the looks of one of the S&W 1911s. I had never had a S&W 1911, heard good things, nothing negative, so I decided to give it a go. Its a good gun, absolutely no issues, no malfunctions, works every time, but just not quite as “slick” as the Kimber gun. I ended up trading this gun to my Son Mark David, and he ended up using it in some sort of trade for a watch as I recall............ So it is gone, my TV Chair gun is the older Kimber, with thin Crimson Trace grips now, the one you see in the above post.
This gun was ok, like I said, no real issues, but just not quite as slick and smooth as the Kimber guns.
During my "Earth Tone Phase" I also had to have this little Sig 9mm. What a great little carry around gun, works like a 1911, so I am used to it. It is a bit rough, horrible trigger, but feed and function has been 100% to date, even with some tough bullets that I feed through it. Easy to shoot, easy to carry.
