After a night of tossing and turning - Ruger vs Walther, I finally hit
the button on the Walther.

Luddite has said he likes his Walther, and the reviews seem pretty
positive. With the Colt/Walther combination, it can't be too bad a
gun. And I sure like the looks of it. Also, it's very much like the
Kimber .45, but a lot cheaper to shoot.

So, Tim and Wayne - thanks for the help/advice. I'd been thinking of
getting a rimfire conversion kit for the Kimber, but, as Tim said, for
the cost of the kit (over $300), I could just buy another pistol.

John I see you didn't go for the $239. Dollar job.

No, I got the next one up with the fancy sights and enhanced trigger.
This place gives some good service. The gun should arrive at the FFL
dealer on Friday!

But even with postage and FFL fee, your tip saved me about $170!

Next time I'm out your way I'll buy the coffee!

John it'll be nice to hear your review. I'm not sure the upgrade would be worth it for me but I'm sure it would be an enhancement. I'll say it does look fancier if anything. I hope it works out well for you.

Btw, I'll take you up on the coffee. Maybe dinner too. Lol!

If I recall, it's my turn to buy dinner! I tried to check out
Grandma's Kitchen in Flora, but Grandma's web site isn't working. Next
time you're in there, you might let her know.
