Gratuituous bragging: Bought my wife a Kimber for her BDAY!
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!

When my wife shot my Kimber the 1st time about 8 yrs ago, she said the only reason I could keep it was it was too heave to purse carry.
She still shoots it some.
Yours will love hers too.

She is 30, right?
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?

Craig once got me a used lime green trash compactor for our anniversary. He was so proud of it, I....well....I guess I wasn't as excited.sbb wrote:I once bought my wife a newly trained adult lab for anniversary.

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! ;)anygunanywhere wrote:She is 30, right?

one of the first things my wife askes me when i get home from work is "how was work? anything interesting happen?" she gets to hear what goes on before the media gets ahold of it. i had been trying to tell her that i want her to get one but she would always tell me no. "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.rguerra911 wrote:one of the first things my wife askes me when i get home from work is "how was work? anything interesting happen?" she gets to hear what goes on before the media gets ahold of it. i had been trying to tell her that i want her to get one but she would always tell me no.

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 agree that the M&P's are great guns and I sure enjoy mine. I don't think I would say they were modeled after the Glocks other than to say they have a polymer frame. It feels nothing like a Glock and with the different grips it accommodates all hands sizes.

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. ;)CompVest wrote:I agree that the M&P's are great guns and I sure enjoy mine.
