I showed the newest member of the family to Venus Pax yesterday at PSC, but since this thread has been too quiet recently and I know that Longtooth will appreciate seeing the new carry decision, here are some small snaps of the Kimber Ultra CDP II (3-inch bull barrel, Tritium night sights, 7-round mag):

I posted his big brother last January: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... &start=288

The plunger tube on my SA Load was a bit loose, so I took it apart.

Now I have to order this tool so I can restake the plunger back into the frame.

Oh well, here is a pic of my sad Springfield.

And while I was taking pics, I took a pic of my Nighthawk. Probably the last piece I can afford for a long while.

I guess I'll be shooting my G-pistol this coming Wednesday.

Those pesky plunger tubes... I'm glad to hear that you're buying the tool so I know where to go when I need one.

That NightHawk is AWESOME!

That's definitely high on my list of dream guns. If you ever decide to sell it, please give me first dibs.

Let me know if you need to borrow the tool.
I will let you know if I ever decide to sell it.

Kinny, ooh...a Nighthawk. This is quite a 1911 collection you're putting together.

Thanks. So many 1911s, so little funds.

I am now the proud owner of a 1911 now. I wanted the Stainless TRP SOOOOOO bad! I just couldn't make myself pull that much out of my pocket for it. So I got this instead(got a good deal too I think):

Springfield Loaded:

I added a stainless extended slide release, stainless beveled magwell/checkered mainspring housing, new stainless grip-screws, I believe there is some sort of aftermarket trigger that had already been done, and a Wilson Combat magazine:

Novak's!

Anyway, enjoy the pics. I'm excited. I plan to get a stainless barrel bushing, barrel, and thumb safety very soon. Now I gotta get this baby to the range!

Hey Will, nothing wrong with that peice. Looks good and I'll bet
it shoots good. Thats a good way to start ( 1911s ).

Good lookin Springer, Will.
How do you like that arched MSH.
I really like the feel of mine.

Hey Tote 9,
See you Monday.

Thats my kind of gun Skiprr. I have a Kimber Eclips Pro II with 4"
barrel. I wonder how they would compare at 15 yrds,-- the 3 & 4"

I have never shot a gun with a 3" barrel and I'm thinking the way
I carry, a 3" should be more comfortable.

If you get a 3" gun & sell that Eclipse, I want 1st chance at it.

Thanks guys. The arched main spring housing is THE way to go for me personally. It fits my hand much better than the flat. Plus I think it adds a little visual flair to it

I like the arch on mine too.
Nothing like visual flair for all things unseen.
