Custom II, Raptor and looking to get an Ultra carry and the .22 conversion..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I've shot em... don't own 1.  Great gun!  Don't fit my hand real well.  If I find one that does, I will buy it.

Best gun I ever bought was a kimber.  It is my carry pistol 4" in a high rise holster....works great.

I had an original Custom Classic with an 8000 series serial number. Sold that gun about 5 years ago and will regret it for life. Last winter I replaced it with a Custom II and it's a great gun as well. The fullsized version was getting to be a pain for concealed carry so I just ordered a Tactical Pro II. If the wait for the Pro II is the same as the wait for my Custom II I'll scream, as it took almost 6 months to get it last time. Kimbers aren't the end all be all of 1911's but it's impossible to find an American made 1911 with the features for the money. I'd love to have a Nighthawk Custom or Les Baer but I can't afford one, so it's Kimbers for me. I just make sure to replace the slide stop and polish up the ramp and throat and shoot em up...

My stainless custom II  sports the older EXTERNAL extractor version of the slide. Works like a charm.  ;)

Custom II here. It is my first pistol and has been good for me so far with 600 rounds down the pipe
