I was in a gunshop and looking at the Kimber 45s and I noticed one in the case that I had seen before. It was a early Kimber Pro carry and it looked brand new.
Well an event of bad safety had happened about three weeks ago where a member of our gun club had bought a Kimber pro carry from this shop. He took it and a friend of mine to the club to shoot it and all went well.
He gets home and cleans the new Kimber and loads it. Doing a press check he shot off his last two finger just above his knucles into his hand. It was a bad injury and it made the newspaper. Now he has had to spend $25,000 in medical bills.
I wonder if having a pro carry that has been all smoothed on the edges for carry might have attributed to this but in reality he had his finger on the trigger and shot himself.
Anyway when he bought the Kimber it sold to him for $900. When I saw it back in the store it was $995 so I asked the owner what the deal was. The owner kinda giggled and said "well it's one kimber we know works" then went on to tell me that the guy really needs the money for his medical bills.
It only takes a heartbeat guys to screw you up for life. Be careful with all your guns.
