At one time I got really good with my rock island (my original one the one I still have) I shot it alot I put tons of ammo thru it and just had a connection with it I was extremely confident in my ability to hit almost anything with it. Me and my brother in law was at the range shooting one time and we was shooting a 8 inch steel gong at 100 yards with rifles. Well my brother in law hit the chain and was swinging by one chain we got up the go fix it. I said wait a minute I want to see if I can hit it with my pistol. He was like no way man that's impossible.
So I drew my 1911 and in the first shot...Ping! He said no way you just did that. Do it again. So I shot again Ping! I laughed and put my gun up he just stood there like he couldnt believe it. I couldnt do it now but at that time I could really drive tacks with it. I use to do all kinds of trick shots with it I even split a card with it a couple times. That is incredibly difficult its alot harder than they make it look on youtube lol

I read somewhere that trump was gonna surplus alot of those older guns to save money in storage for the us military. I'd love to get my hands on a couple of those old original 1911s that a gunsmiths dream!

Yep that's the same one I have! They are made in the Philippines. I have no problem with that. They actually have very good manufacturing!

Congrats on the new toy! I'm an enthusiast too with a Mossberg 500 Pit Bull that's just my size, and a new to me Kimber Combat Tactical II that's absolutely the smoothest, finest handgun I've ever had the pleasure of firing.

Some people enjoy polls; this one I saw and answered yesterday was pretty enlightening and I personally liked the results.



Humans are an emotional species and always will be. That's something that can NEVER be regulated or controlled, and creating new laws or increasing penalties will never change that fact. A quick glance at the EU and other countries with strict gun laws, exorbitant crime rates and a population silenced by force for speaking out only shows us one thing: giving up our weapons is a quick road to tyranny, and once the Second Amendment is obliterated our other rights are sure to follow.

I have never been able to afford a kimber but I have had the pleasure of shooting one. To be honest as far as shooting it goes I couldnt tell any difference between it and my rock island. But the fit and finish and the appearance of it you can truly see the craftsmanship put into every detail of the gun! They are very very nice. Everything is just so clean and rounded. I know on all the rock island I have owned I have had to file sharp edges and polish parts to make it feel right. The 1st one (the one I still own), came with combat sites and they were so sharp around the edges just raw and unfinished from mass production that they would literally cut your hands. And it also would snag on clothing and holsters. I took a small diamond file and some Emery paper and smoothed it out and cold blued it. Good as new
