It was never by design. I actually bought it thinking it would be a good gun for my boys to shoot, but neither wanted anything to do with an "old man's" wood and blue gun once they discovered 'black guns.'
So I went on a little spree and killed 9 deer with it over the course of two or three years.
But, again, it was just a fluke. For example, I shot 4 deer last year with 4 different guns.
Heck, I bet I haven't even hauled that Kimber out of the safe in at least 4, maybe 5 years. I'm going to get it up on the classifieds one of these days.
