Stainless Springfield Garrison in 45 ordered.

@Keystone19250 notice it has a bushing

Back to the Rapide. 5 shot group. Again in low light, it was dusk. Like the others, take consideration it shoots better than the shooter. 13/16” is what I measured.

Another thing to note is that the bushing/bull barrel is only part of the equation. If you have slide play in the fitment or the chamber end of the barrel isn’t properly fitted to the slide, you won’t see any advantage of one over the other as any perceived gain will be lost to the play in other...

I think most are inclined to agree with @Annihilator as he makes a good point. One advantage, at least for competitive shooters is the bull barrel adds weight which helps steady and mitigate recoil. It does take one part out of the equation for fitment, however, it’s pretty negligible in my...

I ordered a set of these, a set of short bushings and screws and Kimber main spring housing with magwell. $150 total. If it all works out well, I’ll do the 10mm I’m keeping the same way.

Opinions, I’ve been on the fence about gray G10 grips for my stainless guns. I took one side off the Rapide and put it on the Stainless II I refinished the slide on. What do y’all think? Yes, No?

I think it would solve its issues, I’ve just never done it before.

Kimber Rapide Dawn in 9mm is here. I was looking forward to sharing the good, the bad and the ugly, but I only have good things to say about this Rapide. The bad and the ugly will have to wait on another gun... I'd be lying through my teeth if I said this thing was ugly. Its beautimous! There...

Good new, then some bad news. Good news, when I bought the first Kimber Stainless II, I bought two of them. I ended up transferring one to little brother. The problem 10mm is actually the third one I bought. The good news is, I have it here for evaluation as it has never been fired. It is...

@Kodiak Cowboy I just spoke to one of the auction house owners when I picked up that Rapide. Between my brother and I, we sold off over $35k in guns through his auction just since November.

I got all kinds. Wife, two teenage boys and an 8yo that just shot a 380 for the first time a few months ago. There’s a handgun in just about every major caliber for every application. Little bit for everyone. I sold a ton of polymer handguns and 1911s off last year. Getting ready to send the...

Btw, got another failed Kimber 10mm. Easy fix I think but it’ll go back to Kimber to do it. I’ll post it up too with the pics and scoop sometime tomorrow.

Absolutely

Looks like maybe someone else can do the transfer tomorrow.

Well, the Rapide Dawn is in. My usual FFL contact is an auction manager, who just took another job. His backup person is out of the office until next week, so I guess I'm stuck until next week.

They’ve already destroyed two generations of kids with their nonsensical child raising BS. It’ll not be in my lifetime before those young people die out through attrition so we are stuck with two generations of self righteous psychopaths. Want to stop mass shootings? Grow up, raise your kids to...

I’ve only been out to 800. I bought a 300 PRC RPR and a Strike Eagle 5-25x56 with the intent on doing so, I just never have the time to spend with it. Shot a total of 40rds thru it. In fact I just put it up for sale a few hours ago. Between the horses, the 6 dogs, the 3 kids, full-time job and...

Got 5 lanes on a 36ft wide backstop. Up to 100 yards. If I need to stretch the legs, I go to the in-laws. Got 3/4 mile there.

Well, when the Kimber 10mm returns, I found plenty of ammo. Picked up 20 boxes of S&B 180gr FMJ.
