This vid is a bit overdone but it seems complete.

Seems more complicated than taking down and reassembling my Ruger Mark
III and definitely more complicated than taking down the superior CZ
centerfire .45 ACP pistol.

Helpful vids.


Yup, the Kimber is an absolute to disassemble and reassemble. And it's
most definitely inferior to a CZ - especially one with a few thousand
dollars in modifications.

Why, again, did you sell such a jewel?


I wouldn't know first-hand whether a 1911 pistol is "superior" to the CZ
I had, especially since the CZ I had did not have "a few thousand
dollars in modifications," or even a thousand dollars in modifications.

Based upon my experience with the CZ-75, I'd certainly buy a CZ-97B (.45
ACP) over a 1911 .45 ACP, if that round interested me. It doesn't.

I sold my CZ-75 because I wasn't shooting it that much anymore. The guy
who bought it, out in the midwest, won the first competition he entered
with it...and he had been shooting a SIG X5. What a coincidence.

My comment about the takedown and reassembly of a 1911 was based upon
viewing a couple of vids of the process. To me, it seemed more
complicated than reassemblying a field-stripped Ruger Mark III.

I see no reason for what I perceive as a return to your old, sarcastic
attitudes here. It's fine with me if you are a Kimber .45 ACP fan. I
find the .357 Mag rounds in my GP100 "hot enough" for my tastes, and I
do have a couple of unfired .45 Colt revolvers resting comfortably if I
feel the urge to shoot that caliber.
