I would post pics, but I can't. I don't know why. I followed the directions but I still can't.

 

Anyway, got my Kimber Target II in stainless, 9mm. Looking forward to monday. Hoping to put a few rounds down range. I will follow up with a range report. Most likely I will switch the grips then, too.

 

Yay me!!!

Congrats! Awesome piece!

I'm very interested in how this shoots. I am looking to get a 1911 in 9mm eventually.

Just haven't decided on what.

Feel free to meet me on monday at the bullet hole. Maybe noonish?

Hopefully that works.

Thanks for the nice remark, Wombat.

 

Anyone wanna shoot tomorrow?

Nice looking pistol there, good luck with her!

very nice, what grips are those? Are they aluma grips?

Grips are Hogue. I really like them. Most probably won't. That's fine, it's not their gun. Thanks for all the positive comments.

So, I finally have my first range report!!!

 

Stopped in at Gun for Hire and met Anthony. What a great guy! He had offered to show me how to break down my gun and re-assemble it WITHOUT getting the dreaded idiot scratch on it. Hung out for a minute and chatted and then headed over to the range to try the gun out.

 

Put 205 rounds thru the gun. 50 rounds of Winchester White Box, 50 rounds of Speer Lawman, 50 rounds of PMC, and 50 rounds of Federal. 5 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense just to make sure that they feed well. They do. But, at a dollar a round, it was a short mag. Also, I used my stock Kimber mag and 5 stainless Metalform mags that I picked up off a member on another board. I had 3 FTE on mag 2, 4, and 5 (one each), all WWB. After that, the gun worked flawlessly. She's a lot more accurate than I am, and shoots like a dream. I am absolutely smitten with my choice. To all the Kimber naysayers... whatever. To all the 9mm 1911 haters, whatever. My gun was great. And, with the ammo at roughly half the cost of .45acp, I will be able to head to the range a little more often.

Defiantly different looking grips, now I wouldn't have bought them if I just saw the grips in a display, but seeing them on the gun, I like it. Congratulations and good luck with her..

Got the pics working.
