Price check....Kimber Pro Carry SS Series 1

Kimber Pro Carry SS Series 1 or S.A. Champion?

Got an opportunity to pick up a Kimber SS Pro Carry Series I for $575.

Night sights with 200 rounds thru the gun. Condition is 98%

Was planning on getting a S.A. Champion but this deal hit me head on.

So, whats the best course of action? Take the Kimber or keep pursuing a Champion?

Help me out all you 1911 guru's......

Kimber Series I or Champion

In my opinion the Kimber would be the one to get first. I don't have one of those Series I Pro Carry, but I do have a Full Size Series I and it is absolutely the best semi-auto I own. Centerfire that is..........

If the night sights are factory, retail on those is about $110. IOW, you've been presented with an opporunity to buy a>=$700 gun with $110 in additions for $575. Granted, those are retail or close to retail prices, but I think the price is a good one.

Disclaimer: I always think I got a good deal, until someone here on THR brags about his deal.

Be advised that the factory Kimber night sights have often been criticized for having a short life.Aside from that,the price is good.I have owned one and can report good performance,and it's fun to stare at.

Kimber has found a way to shorten the half-life of tritium?

If so, a Nobel prize in physics should be in order.

200 rounds means it isn't even broken in yet. That's a screaming deal.

I picked it up. It was actually a Series II but worked out ok for me.

So far I have 100 rounds thru it myself without a hiccup.
