My factory ordered Kimber had a blemish on the barrel when I disassembled it for initial cleaning. I sent it to Kimber and received it back 7 days later. It was filthy because they test fired it, but it works flawlessly and I think the trigger is lighter. I’m guessing around 4.5 lbs instead of the original 6. I carry IWB in a kydex holster.
I got the 2 tone with Hogue rubber grips. I changed the grips to SGM green and black G-10 grips. My Kahr had Hogue grips and I wanted a different feel. This is my grips on a very similar gun. I have the 7 rd extended magazines.
gosh you must feel very brave holding that!
Why would you say that? A gun doesn't make one brave. People asked about it. Another poster has one like it and this is called chit chat. Do you want to hear about my wife's guns? Steer the conversation back to the El Paso shooting if that's what you want to talk about.
I wouldnt mind having one of them myself Tex.
Only weapon I have owned apart from the one between my legs was a Tikka 22-250 rifle, I think you Americans called that calibre a Varmiter.
I'm sure that it is a much better varmiter than my 10/22.
If you move to Texas, I'll tell you where I bought mine. They sell them at dealer cost. Mine was $640 + tax. It took about two weeks to arrive from the Kimber plant in Yonkers, NY.
10/22 cant say I had heard of them but I am not up on guns much these days, a rimfire I see , the 22-250 is a centre fire based originally on the .250 Savage!
I actually sold it to a mate of mine that lives down the road many years ago, he is a serious sporting shooter with about 12 or more rifles.
Anyway my old 22-250 is now like the old air cooled VW car that keep going forever, it has had almost all parts replaced over the years including numerous barrels and even the receiver all largely due to a lot of range use!

That's our Ruger 10/22. That's the first semi auto rifle that any kid ever gets. It's chambered in .22lr, all parts can be swapped our for aftermarket parts with a million options. You can build a tack driver out of it, but it's still a .22 and will not reach out much more than 100 meters accurately unless you are really good.
I think I like shooting my kid's Henry lever action .22 more.

Its a good round the 22/250, I have a Parker Hale XV varmiter that was originally in .243 I had it re-barreled 22/250 . It has been mounted with a redfield 4x12 variable with parallax adjustment ,

Mine never had a lot of use, just shot a few rabbits and foxes and remember shooting a big kangaroo while illegally up in the Brindabella National Park on our trail bikes carrying rifles.
I remember looking down at the poor thing and thinking "why did I do that he wasn't harming anyone",
never used the rifle much after that my heart wasn't really into killing things!

Dad had a rifle and a shotgun. Mum had a 410, given to her by her father when she was 12. I doubt she shot anything. I went "shooting" once with Dad when I was a teenager, he showed me how but all I shot at was a can on a fence post and I missed. I could never kill anything (spiders excluded).
I have never even seen a hand gun, except in pictures.

I could never kill anything myself but I am ok with hunting if you eat what you kill and use it all. I am dead against trophy hunting though.
What did you do with the Roo?

Skinned it with some idea of keeping/treating the skin - never happened though!

My factory ordered Kimber had a blemish on the barrel when I disassembled it for initial cleaning. I sent it to Kimber and received it back 7 days later. It was filthy because they test fired it, but it works flawlessly and I think the trigger is lighter. I’m guessing around 4.5 lbs instead of the original 6. I carry IWB in a kydex holster.
I got the 2 tone with Hogue rubber grips. I changed the grips to SGM green and black G-10 grips. My Kahr had Hogue grips and I wanted a different feel. This is my grips on a very similar gun. I have the 7 rd extended magazines.

From my own experience Cods, the feeling is more "God like" lol
that I can believe
and the bragging rights of course.. mine is bigger than yours type of thing..
armed to the teeth makes Americans happy yet not one person has a gun in a shopping centre or a dance hall.. to protect themselves with
\
which is their main reason for being armed to the teeth.......protection!!! maybe thats only against unarmed baddies.
I have never seen a mass shooter killed by one of the persons he was trying to kill....
its always been at his own hand or a policemans...
none of it makes sense to me.

Great idea .... give all kids from age 8 a hand gun to protect themselves in SCHOOL. Then, when somebody "bullies" them they can react, immediately.
