Well i finaly got out to the range today to fire my kimber for the first time.
The good:
Bottom line is i absolutely loved it! Right from the go i was hitting 3-4 inch groups from 25 feet that got tighter to 2 inches after the first few mags, although i was hitting slightly lower than my intended point of aim throughout the day. I'm sure thats on me and not the pistol. Recoil was not nearly as harsh as i thought it would be, in fact it was quite pleasant to shoot but you knew it was there for sure. I shot 200 rounds of blazer 200grn round without any malfunctions
The bad:
My kimber magazines do not like hollow points as some of you forwarned, I couldn't get through 2 magazines in a row of gold dots without a ftf so definately gonna pick up some wilson mags. It goes without saying that I won't be carrying it any time soon. Even If I get reliable mags i'm not sure I can get over looking at the hammer cocked back like that. I know it's quite safe but it gave me the heebee jebees anyway.
I just put up an avatar i saw somewhere, if someone is already using it please let me know as i don't want to steal your thunder!
