Not a great one, but it's at the lower lefthand corner of page one:

I'll post a better one up later.

Back on topic: Women, Kimbers, M&P's, or anyother gun - perfect!

If you open it up, except for the take-down lever, the mechanics are very similar to the Glock. The frame and the styling are different, obviously. It's kind of a kinder, gentler Glock that's a little more difficult to take apart for cleaning. ;)

"there is no reason for it." well tonight we had a carjacking and agg. robbery. so she tells me....."i think it is time that you get me a gun." my jaw dropped! i was looking at a kimber ultra covert ll the other day and she liked it. .........looks like i am going kimber shopping! wish me luck!

The Kimber is definitely the jewel of her collection, but she's been carrying and very happy with her S&W M&P 9mm compact (also available in .40 cal). It's a great little gun, modeled after the Glock, but shaped and sized for smaller hands. It also comes with 3 backstraps to adjust the grip size. My wife has very small hands and the M&P compact has served her very well and it's much cheaper than a Kimber.

I think if I had started her with a .45 it might have intimidated her and turned her off to shooting. As it happened, the 9mm was a perfect first carry weapon and now she's ready to move up.

Good luck!

I have an UC II but Mrs. Anygun has not shot it.

It is very nice.

Does this mean that Kimbers are a girl's best friend?

My wife is permanently 29 and I defy anyone to say differently! And yes, apparently Kimbers ARE a girl's best friend... well, that and these other things that I can't mention in this venue. You'll figure out what the buzz is about, though! ;)

For my wife's ##th birthday, I bought her a new Kimber Ultra Carry II .45. It's an awesome little gun. It's a little small for my hand, but fits her like it was custom made. We went to the range immediately after picking it up and, unless I miss my guess, I'm pretty sure that shooting it got momma a little bit excited!

I'm raisin' the bar for you guys out there!!!
