Now that I'm older and impressionable, I found myself ogling Kimbers after a recent range session. I couldn't get over how well the new Super Carry fit my hand and after a week of stalling, I gave into my impulses for once and walked out with my new baby.
It's going to be an agonizing week or so before I can carve out the time to get back to the range, so I took some pictures to tide me over.
I picked up one in the Ultra size a few weeks ago when Shooter's Station in Conroe had one on the shelf. I couldn't let it go either.
Now I think I want the Custom (full size) version as well. I love the bobtail and the "checkering" on it allows grip, but not as severe as a 30 LPI or the like.
