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.

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.

	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.

	I am advocating that we change our form of government to one based on strange women lying in ponds distributing swords in a farcical aquatic ceremony. It can't be any worse.
