I said I wouldn't touch it. Banned from at least one local club. Has a ton of YouTube videos under the name "Tex Grebner Outdoors". Worth a laugh or two.

Way back when Bud really owned Bud's gun shop he had a stack of them on the counter as you walked in the door,..selling them for, as I recall, $379.95. I had to have one for that price. It's basically a clone of a military issue 1911.

Here are a couple I've souped up. .460 Rowland on top, .45 Super on bottom. These are my "Outdoor" guns. Your two-tone Kimber looks just like my Sig 1911 except I bought some pretty burled panels for mine. I had a Kimber Carry and I do miss that thing. The Sig trigger is very light but nowhere near as crisp. When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of.

I have owned numerous handguns through the years and was never able to consistently shoot any of the passably no matter how much I practiced, when I bought my 1911 I discovered that I could hit most anything I pointed it at, I have never been without one then. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

His child hood friend and Mom's brother Uncle Ed is now 96. I saw him 3 years ago and talk to him often and he is still sharp. He was in the 82nd Airborne and went in about 0230 on D Day. Him and 12 others from his original group of 155 made it home. After his group lost over 100 in three weeks they reinforced them, only to suffer over 100 casualties again. He was then assigned to the 101st and spent lots of time securing bridges. He liked the BAR. Him and my Dad were 18 when they joined up and they are my hero's and I love Uncle Ed and miss my Dad. My Uncle Leroy was killed by a Jap sniper in the Philippines when he was 19, I sincerely hope my Uncles buddies killed the ungodly little son of a bitch. My Uncle Lavern served in Italy and my son in laws two granddads served in the Navy and were involved in major combat operations in the Pacific Theater. Every year starting November 1st my wife and me watch the Band of Brothers series prior to Veterans Day. I carried a 1911 on duty and also a Browning Hi Power. My department issued Glocks in .40 cal., but me and a few others were "grandfathered" in. If by some unimaginable twist of fate I could only have one gun I would have a 1911. In 2017 the state of Utah passed a law making the 1911 Govt. Mod. the official state fire arm, how damn cool is that. My state of Alaska's gun is the Pre-64 Winchester, can't beat that with a stick!

Last I heard they changed the state gun from the Red Ryder bb gun , to something that just shoots rubber bands now. I am really needing to move. But I do have a LW Commander Last edited by kenster99; 10/28/19. Reason: added info

Seems they are all popular and prices reflect that. Carried one during my second Nam tour and made the longest pistol shot of my life on the Bien Hoa perimeter. One shot, 300 meters and I killed a cement truck. Won a case of beer for that stunt shot. I utilized the TLAR method of drop calculation. I am..........disturbed.

The Sig trigger is very light but nowhere near as crisp. I don't have any experience with a Sig, but the guys I know who have them, like them. The trigger on both of these are crisp but not as light as they were, a 28 lb mainspring being part of the upgrade package to control slide velocity. Still usable and less likely to have an AD under stress.
