Nice, let us know how it groups. I ask b/c I've had two 1911A1s and couldn't hit the sky with either one. A guy I knew had an Officers ACP, and I could put a nice, tight, little group dead center with it. So, I know it wasn't me.
Strange, one of my 1911s was also a Springfield Mil Spec, you'd aim for the chest and the rounds would impact about 14" to the right, and about 18" higher than point of aim. I say "about" because you needed a trash can lid to cover the groups! Seriously! And I paid $660 for that bucket of shit
Bought a couple raffle tickets for a Kimber today... hope I can join the club, but I'm WAY overdue on that time of thing...
Nice new toy!
Ten-32 I think you will be pleased with the kimber. I have an eclipse target II and it is very accurate with a light crisp trigger.
Very nice!
...but if you're used to Sig, this would have worked much better
Vit, that looks nice but mine was an opportunity that came along and I couldn't resist. I know the previous owner very well and I know it has literally had 1 round through it not including the factory. I saw the hole in his wall. I gave $650 and promised not to tell his wife.
edit-I notice an external extractor on the Sig. Which is considered preferable if any? I also like the front strap checkering on the Sig. The Kimber is smooth.

I was never impressed by the price of Kimber.
WAY over priced for a 1911.
THEN I was able to handle and shoot one. My opinion of them got worse.
A buddy got one of their stainless compact carry.
It came with a PLASTIC mainspring housing.
You needed a TOOL for simple field stripping.
AND the best one was the STAINLESS STEEL slide was always RUSTING...
My RIA that cost 1/4 less than his Kimber, is all steel and the blued, or parkerised parts have never rusted on me.

I picked up a lightly used Gold Combat a few years back.
Great gun!
Beautiful trigger that breaks like a glass rod and is a flat-out tack driver.
No problems at all of any sort with any ammo including reloads, and it gets shot a lot.
I really enjoy shooting this pistol.
Ten-32, excuse my ignorance, but does Kimbers come with that color finish?
BTW, very nice!!
There's no problem an AK can't solve...........

Always wanted one... and for $650.00... I mean damn1 Kimbers are great pistols, and the DW is one of their best designs IMNSHO.
I'm jealous!
