That sucks. I am glad I don't live there. I would not like my AR to be like that.

YEP, taxes and gun laws, the two main reasons I'm moving!

California is a crazy place.

Never did understand the blurring of license plates, serial numbers, when they can be plainly seen while driving and at the gun shop. Maybe someone online will do the research to find out where you live, but then again, someone locally will already have that information.

In short, while all preventive measures help, like a garage and gun safe, nothing is fool proof. IMHO anyway.

Not much of a collection, but I'll take it. Looking to add a Sig P226, a 4" Colt Python, either convert my AR to a piston, or add a piston AR, and a 4" 44mag of some flavor. We shall see, lol.

You wont be disapointed with the Sig 226, or any 44mag.

I recently saw a Kimber Ultra Carry II. It felt great in my hand. I was just wondering if any of you had any experience with Kimber, and what you thought.

Any suggestions for a 3" 1911 style gun as well.

Thanks

If the cost is not a problem for you then buy it. I have done some practice at the range with one. It's a nice gun.
One of my carry weapons (and my favorite) is a Colt Defender. If you haven't yet you should check one out. I think you won't be disappointed.

I had one. Nice gun, but I wanted something smaller for carry, so I sold it.

Love my kimber 1911. Too big to carry, but an amazing gun anyways. It sleeps with me! :-)

The small 1911's are not as easy to conceal and are quite heavy to carry. I find that they are better for winter time carry when heavier clothing is worn. Still damn nice guns. JMO

IMHO, Kimber is overrated, overpriced for what you get. Yep, I've owned one, had finish issues. Kimber's warranty and customer service, IME, is second to everyone's. There are better 1911s, with less issues and for the same money, has Kimber. They are the Glock, sans plastic, of the 1911 world. You are either a fan, or a hater, lol.

My cheap Charles Daly 1911 EFS, has a better slide to frame fit, very close in trigger, finish is just as good, and is just as reliable as my Kimber Custom II was, with standard finish. My CD also came with extended slide release, and extended ambi safeties, to go along with the bumped, extended beaver tail grip safety, skeletonized combat hammer and trigger. Not all those will be found on a Kimber.

All that bad said, the Kimber shot very well, was extremely reliable, and IMHO, wasn't hard to carry, nor conceal, in the right holster. Yep, it was the full size 5". The right holster makes all the difference in the world. However, due to the horrible CS, and the crappy finish, I'll never buy another new Kimber.


YMMV.

[Robotdoc]

I found one for $690.00. That's what got me thinking about a small 1911. It was small enough that it would probably be ok for concealing. I know there are others that are pretty good, but don't cost as much. I know that was a good deal on a Kimber. It was preowned also.

It is a matter of personal preference. I liked the Kimber 1911 but my money goes for Colt. Both are priced higher than some others out there so there is that. I am just a fan of Colt but like they say, you get what you pay for. You just have to try them for yourself and see which one is better for you.
