This is a win from a charity raffle. It's a Springfield Range Officer
1911 in stainless steel. It's a beautiful firearm:

Also in the package was a Surefire X300 Ultra weapon light that will
find a home on my Glock 23. They also included a custom leather holster
but I passed on that so the charity could save some money. I have no
plans to use an OWB holster even if open carry becomes legal here.

Raffle tickets cost $300 for a $1200 package.


That is a beautiful gun. I sure like the sights better than those on either the Kimber or the Ruger.
Good catch.



On one of those many days when you have nothing to do, check out youtube
and search on "Problems with Kimbers" Considering it is a relatively
expensive but low volume line of production pistols, the high number of
serious problems is...startling.

Odd, I had a Kimber 45 and shot over 1000 rds through it and with normal maintenance (cleaning and lube) I had absolutely no problems whatsoever. amazing..

You can find problems with anything if you want to look


Yeah, I had a jeep for a while and didn't have any serious issues with
it, but it has a well-earned rep as one of the worst lines of vehicles
ever.
