Present from the wife

Post by Brokenarrow »

Not "bump related" but checkout my early father's day present from the little woman :D It's a kimber stainless ultra-raptor II 45acp. I think she was trying to cheer me up, my lower back "issues" have had me down in the dumps :( If handling a new kimber doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing will :wink:

It's a Kimber custom, It already has the match-grade barrel, chamber & trigger, tritium night-sights. I can't think of any modifications that it needs. :? Other than maybe CT lasergrips :hmm:

BTW, She bought this pistol from her niece's husband for $700 :eek: Factory test-fired only, with the box, two 7rd Kimber mags, lock & all paperwork, plus 100rds of ammo. The woman knows a bargain when she sees one, huh? :thup:

Never even heard of a Kimber before, but it is a very nice looking .45-and it is a .45! :thup:

Hey...does your wife have a sister ?! :lol:
