NEWS HEADLINES FOR SUNDAY APRIL 10th 2005
Old Ala Dan catches "Kimber Fever" while at work and sucumbs to
the purchase of a Raptor II from Kimber!
Yes folks its true, one look and I knew this ole' gal was for me! The
"lizard like" design caught my eye, and as they say "the rest is hsitory".
We got two of the Kimber Raptor II's in on Friday, 09 April and they only
lasted 15 minutes. We priced 'em at $1049 each, and they sold
very quickly. Lucky I was able to latch on to one, before it got gone!
First impressions, its a good looking pistol with the "lizard like" design
not only on the grips; but also on the slide (front and rear cocking
serrations), and "fish scales" along the top of the slide with a tiny
row on the grip safety. This gun comes from the Kimber Custom Shop
and has the Kimber quality; complete with MIMber parts. All in all, I
like this gun very much but its been a long time since these old eyes
adjusted well to night sights; as this weapon is equipped with the
3-dot Meprolight's. Stay tuned for a range report coming shortly!
