I purchased a new Kimber Ultra CDP on Monday. On Tuesday morning I had an appointment with my firearms instructor to qualify for CC. The first time I fired the CDP was on the firing line at qualification.:eek: The Kimber Ultra CDP has an internal extractor. I use the factory mag. and a Wilson...

Back in December I ordered a new Kimber Pro CDP. Long story short my wait time went from initial estimate of 4-6 weeks to 3 1/2 to 4 months, I received a refund yesterday and visited another dealer. I not only bought my first 1911 pistol, I also bought my first (non-22 cal) wheel gun.:D All of...

I ordered a Kimber Pro CDP December 13, 05. I was told at that time the pistol would be in the 3rd week of Jan. 06. The 3rd week of Jan I was told 2 more weeks. Now I was told yesterday 6 more weeks. This would bring my wait to 3 1/2 months for a production pistol. I emailed Kimber and received...

Is there any "down side" to the hammerless S&W revolvers? My wife will be carrying in her purse. Do hammer guns have a tendency to hang up on the hammer or is this nothing to be concerned with?

Probably 15 years ago I was invited by an insurance agent I did business with to go "bird hunting". I agreed to go. He picked me up in his new Cad and we headed for the bunk house on a large Nebraska ranch. The agent made sure I was aware this was a VERY expensive hunt. I couldn't figure out...

I ordered (and paid for) a Kimber Pro CDP in mid December. I am wondering how long the wait is generally from order to delivery? Thanks

I am going to buy a short barrel revolver for alternate (very occasional) CCW. My first thought was a 2 1/2" Python or a 2" Detective Special. I am partial to Colt. I like "pretty" guns. After reading the recent thread about the Python, I am rethinking my Colt idea for CCW. Does anyone have...

Since my youth I have wanted to hunt whitetails with a Thompson Contender. I see my chance to justify the purchase of one. My son killed his first whitetail with my Remington 30-06 Woodsman. I was the 3rd generation to own this gun and I killed my first deer with it. I think it would be good to...

I am fairly new to guns and a virtual noob at revolvers. My question is are all .357 Mag. cylinders capable of chambering/firing .38 Special Ammo? I am thinking of either 2 1/2" Python or Det. Spl. Thanks

My step dad wanted me to research his Savage Model 219 in 30-30. He also has a M220 12gauge barrel for the gun. The rifle has a Marbles front site, finish is 95%. The barrel says "proof tested". rifling is good bore is shiney. I found one in completed auctions on gunbroker. Is there collector...

I aquired this gun from "unclaimed property" associated with my business. I would like to use it around the farm and let my boys target shoot with it. I first want to be sure it is safe to fire. As you can see there is some rust on the exterior of the gun. The bore is shiney, there is some minor...

I am going to order my new ccw this week. I have decided on Kimber Pro size 1911. The only question which remains is which model, Pro Carry Stainless, Eclipse Pro, or CDP Pro. This will be an everyday carry. Is there any advantages of one finish over the other? I believe they are all the same...

I received the following exchange via email from a friend. It had been forwarded a couple of times. I am wondering if this is a real exchange or if it is one of those cute emails hatched in someones mind?? Either way I like it!:D I guess this has been posted, asked and answered. If you havent...

I am wondering the retail price difference between the Kimber Ultra CDP II and Compact CDP II? I have a price quote on the Ultra but have changed my mind and decided on the Compact.(my dealer is on vacation)

I have been researching hardware company trade name shotguns for a month or so. I have been collecting and studying hardware company history for 15+ years. I have found several sources have claimed guns to have been made for Shapleigh Hardware Co. which were instead distributed by (Shapleigh...

I have decided I want to start cc again. I carried for 5 years then quit for the last 5 years. In my state there is no "shall" law. You must be a state licensed detective to cc. I am a licensed pi, I just have to requalify and add cc to my e&o insurance. When I carried before I had a S&W Sigma...

I am an antique photograph collector with emphasis on hardware stores and Winchester Store photos. I recently purchased a photo of a minstrel company. The back of the photo reads "The Winchester Minstrels". This could be minstrels from a town named Winchester, or Winchester College. I was hoping...
