PHOTO GALLERY...........LET'S SEE YOUR KIMBER (Page 19 of 19)

Nice classic look. Stainless TLE with sights, grips, and a trigger? |

Thanks! Yes, Grips, Sights, & Trigger but I went a little further  I picked this Kimber up from a local range for $200.00. It was a range rental that had been handled a lot but barely fired. I took 2000 grit sand paper and some break free to the frame and slide after a complete strip down. Removed all the scratches and idiot mark lol. I replaced the sights with NOVAK night sights. I replaced the following: take down lever, sear, disconnector, hammer, sear spring, guide rod, recoil spring plug, all springs, trigger, & firing pin with All New Wilson Combat Bullet Proof parts. The Grips are from Wicked Grips. Shoots like a dream with a 3.5 pound trigger pull. NO FTF or FTE to date |

Got an early Warrior. Serial is in the 15XXXX range. Gun has original Trijicon Novaks. https://www.flickr.com/gp/188172405@N08/LU5pT2t3Q1 https://www.flickr.com/gp/188172405@N08/3v6Nou2yF9 The slide stop is different from modern Kimbers. I thought that maybe it was a replacement part, but it looks MIM and has the same reddish “age discoloration” as the beavertail. I have seen pics of Series 1 Kimbers from back in the day and those seem to match this slide stop. I also emailed Kimber and they said the gun was made Feb 28, 2005. Using the “wayback” internet archive, I found the press release for the Warrior introduction was Feb 15, 2005. Old Press Release |

When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid.
