Carrying a kimber?...help me out - Page 2

revance · 11-06-2009

You know all those threads about which gun you most regret selling?

Don't become one of those people.

Get a compact and then you won't be duplicating. Get stainless and scratches won't show as much. A gun isn't really a gun until it has some wear on it anyway.

Well there you go! It's settled. You're gonna buy a Kimber Stainless Ultra CarryII and keep the Para Ord. Good decision.

If I get a kimber it has to be full sized, I can honestly say there's a good chance i'll never keep a compact or SC handgun. The one I posted a pic of on the previous page is exactly what i'd want, it just looks so perfect it's perplexing.

Thanks for the help guys

I really needed to be reminded that i would regret selling my para.

Another vote for keeping the Para and buying the Kimber. This comes from a person who owns three Kimbers

Buy two Kimbers and send the Para to me for safekeeping.

Keep the para, buy a Kimber....as was mentioned above!!! I've been carrying a Kimber Compact since they hit the dealers shelves however long ago it was. I bought the only one that was at the 1500. Its still looking good. Holster wear is about it.

Almost any time I sell a gun I end up regretting it, Ive done it a bunch and I never learn. Find a way to save for the Kimber, they are great guns, especially the Series I's

Keep The Para and get a Kimber in something other that 45........ Like my 10mm Kimber

And there is nothing wrong with having 2 1911s for carry that way you can choose depending on mood

As stated above, keep the Para and get the Kimber. Wouldn't trade my Kimber for anything but beware, they are habit forming!

If you can afford it get a KIMBER ULTRA and keep the PARA. I am just waiting to have to cash to get one and it will probably then become my carry gun. I have kinda a the same problem like you my 1911 is a fullsize SF and I like it a lot. I don't think I will ever sell it, so once I can afford one the Kimber will be an ULTRA
