Was able to take the Kimber out. I only had time to run 5 mags sadly.

The gun ran pretty good but out of 5 mags 2 failed to feed. One last round second was second to last round. Gonna run a few more boxes out of it when I can. Someone said adjust the extractor, if that doesn’t work replace the crappy factory mag. I was running 230g Winchester ball.

Danger for bone grips

I picked up some nice bone grips that look like ivory for my colt 45. I left them on the gun while cleaning with solvent and CLP. I did not think about the fact that bone is very porous. They absorbed some of the CLP and solvent and now have deep stains that look bad. I read that a poultice may help but I think this may be an expensive lesson. This probably applies to antler grips as well.

Happy 4th yall, hit 2k rounds on the raider today

No issues in reliability 1400 rounds after switching to Wilson mags. Thread protector keeps loosening, probably going to get a micro comp for it. I highly recommend these as they make good base guns for m45a1 cope clones.

Some new parts & some new results!

Replaces the slide catch and plunger pins/spring with some Wilson Combat bullet proof parts. Several mags later and no lock back until the mag was empty. (Posted about this last week I think. Thanks to all who left advice. This one graduated to holster duty today!

4th of July Carry

I know a lot of people like carrying Chinese stuff with American flag print on it to honor the US, but I figured I’d just carry a gun that I usually don’t because my daily carry is from Austria.

Mean Gene Leather wallet, Tactile Turn titanium bolt action pen, Surefire Stiletto Pro light, Leatherman Arc, Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar, Springfield TRP Operator full rail with a Surefire X300 Turbo, Tenicor Velo Lux holster, Wilson Combat 10rd mag with Federal HSTs

Range time for the 250th.

Brought my Kimber Warrior (can't truly say enough how much I love this gun), one of the Staccatos, and one of the Glocks out today. 2nd photo, controlled pairs with the Kimber at 12 yards. I know some have had bad lung with Kimbers but thing thing has always shot like a dream for me.

Picked the Kimber up in 2013 just before my 3rd deployment to Afghanistan. Got it refinished a few years ago and slowly putting wear back on it. While I mainly carry my Staccatos, still enjoy shooting my 1911's.
