Interesting, I didn't know they could be so valuable. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not familiar with the Kimber line, but I will say, if that is less than a commander size, be careful. You may encounter reliability problems. The other thing that is specific to Kimber (and some other manufacturers) is MIM parts. Basically what I think of as "hot dog metal." Grind up a metal paste, put in binders, put in mold, and that is the "metal" in your gun. I'm staying away from Kimber. DW is a small manufacturer, but I have heard very good things from both a friend who owns one as well as the internet community. |

I've learned a thing or two about black rifles along the way as well. Not an expert by any means, but I have a general idea of things to look for and things to avoid. Including alternate calibers.

For you that are uninitiated, let me add that the 1911 was designed and created by a Mormon gunmaker, the most famous and most important American gunmaker of them all--John Moses Browning. It is only appropriate that the gun have Mormon regalia and symbology.

Making a firearm into a personalized work of art appeals to me. I think a lot of the things that you see on the internet are stupid--macho designs, death designs. They do not reflect my values. Peace, rule of law, respect, brotherhood, family, non-violence--these are my values. |
