OK... So I went to the Friends of the NRA Dinner and now I have this Kimber Ultra Carry II... it is a little itty bitty 45 about which the entire County of Orange has been writing glorious reviews since I have joined this forum...
See I always liked steel full size guns, the commander... pahhh...fiddle...a nothing... a short barrel phenom...a passing side track from serious defensive firearms... the Kimber Ultra Carry II? Ha.... I laugh at the idea... why I sold my kimber .38 super commander size thingee cause it wouldn't work... and how could a real caliber, .45acp., possibly be manageable in the little alloy ultra contraption... or so I thought....my mind... logic...reason... all is lost and have I been deceived....could the Kimber UC II be a real gun? Could it shoot real 45 caliber bullets and in nice groups? Would it be manageable in rapid fire drills? with good factory ball...? Would said bullets travel at real speeds..? say faster than an american unladden(sp?) swallow? I was about to find out!
I have about 100 rounds through it.. not a bobble.. not a hiccup... not a sneeze or a gaseous grumble... nada.. zip...
The factory magazine feeds like a government employee at a free lunch bar...the two Novak mags likewise... The gun does not seem to kick... like...it is mellow, cool, soft, snuggly or something....AAARRRRGGGHHHHH... MUST RESIST THE DARK SIDE.....
Or not... it shoots about 5 in. high and 3 in. to the left at 15 yards with ball.. two different kinds... I'll try some 185 golden saber +p's in a few weeks when I decide which night sights to put on it.. and I adjust the sights to point of aim and slightly high at 15, just like I like em...
So...what am I to do.. buy the les baer... or carry the alloy wonder..? Should I give in to the dark side ... or is it dark "
slide".... It calls... it sits in my safe next to Shotty and "Mini14 the Mouse and Ratta gun" and various polymer wonders and the para Ord....and it calls to me... I can almost hear it now... shoot me, shoot me... you love me...you want to wear me in a holster...AAARRRGGGHHH... who knows what may happen next... I may abandon my polymer holster and buy a ... I can say it... yes.... A MILT SPARKS REAL LEATHER HOLSTER....... or not...
The Les Baer full size ... real gun... is on the horizon... but now I must admit to the pull, the sway, the temptation to go to the Kimber... the dark "
slide" calls me.........
