Just picked this little baby up today from Tomball Pawn. Saved $100.00 off gun show prices. I can't say anything bad about Tomball PAwn. But anyway, little lady said go for it. Boy is she nice. No, you can't have her, she is a keeper.

May take a run to Carters tomorrow morning. See what the weather is doing. Hope it shoots as good as it fits into my hands. Never had a pistol fit quite like this. Hard to describe the fit. Feels like it becomes part of you.

Very nice purchase. I was in there yesterday and saw that gun. Actually considered picking it up. Tomball Pawn is great with their prices and really fair on their buy prices as well.

Kimber's have a tendency to do that!

Nice gun gwtrikenut
You can't beat Tomball Pawn. Just for kicks you should see how much other places want for that same gun.
I got a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II at Tomball Pawn for $799. The same gun runs close to two hundred dollars more
at most other stores.

Another big name gun dealer in Houston has 5 on hand in his north Houston store. But he wants over $300.00 more for the same gun. If they don't have one on hand, they refuse to quote a price.
And yes, I will report on how she shoots. Good or bad. But then it may not be the pistols fault. And I will report on that too.

Ok, here we are. Gun shot great. Shooter? Not so great. But I am real happy with the first time out with it. I like my hand loads better than factory. I think I got better grouping. But I will let the pictures speak for themselfs. The gun gets right back on target after each shot. And the recoil is not bad either. All shots were done from a distance of 25 feet.

Now that you own one you will never carry another concealed gun. Have a CDP Pro and its very easy to carry it all day. Very light and a tach driver. Congrats.

I have an XD I carried for some time. Then I had the chance to purchase a Colt Defender and I carried it for a long time. Both were not that bad. The XD was somewhat heavier loaded. Now that I have the Kimber, and have been wearing it around the house, I do believe it is somewhat lighter than the Colt. The only problem I see, is keeping my wifes hands off it. She is a couple inches taller than I am, and when I brought the Kimber home, whe said the same thing I did when I first held it. OMG, this is nice. She loves shooting the 45acp. But I really think she would like the 9mm even more if she ever shot one. At least I hope she would. The gun shoots real nice. I just have to get used to it.

See there's your problem right there. Don't let your wife see it.
Remember...concealed is concealed !

Oh well. After 28 years together, I don't hide nothing anymore. And she never says

. Like I posted on another post, it had been some years since I had been to a gun show, and she suggested I go. But she wanted some of my male friends to go because she didn't want to go. And she didn't want me going by myself. I don't know why. They weren't going to stop me from buying anything.
So I guess she is a keeper. Besides, I don't have the energy to train another one.
