I have been pondering a Kimber Raptor II Pro, a Springfield LW Champion Operator, or a Para-Ordnance LTC myself.

I have an early (in the 1st 500 made) Warrior. It has been absolutely reliable from day one. The only thing that I replaced was the stock "Nutter Butter" grips for a set of Gunners from Simonich Knives. Many thousands of rounds later, the thing is still going strong.

I have to agree with you Knuckledrager if and when I get one the first thing to go is the grips. I have also been looking at the TLE II version as well it is a little more cost effective and is very sharp. I don't know what I am going to do, I guess when I get to the gunshop I will let the cards fall where they may.....

I like the checkering on the TLE II line, but I'll take the lack of a firing pin safety on the Warrior any day.
